Reducing our pet's carbon pawprint

We brought home a cat this week and have been looking at ways to do this without bringing home more plastic. We've got wood chip litter, the kids have folded origami bags for cat waste (hoping Mr H will dig a hole for it all in the garden tonight) and we've bought biscuits in bulk. Good job we bought the recommended food in bulk to discover, she doesn't like the recommended food that she's been eating at cats protection!  How annoying!
Yesterday we tried her on tinned food to see if she prefers it, with resounding success!  I also discovered a way to cover the cat food! I'm so pleased with this discovery! Millicano coffee lids are a perfect fit! And take the edge off my guilt for buying a product with a plastic lid.

Pasta with a machine

Katie and I made pasta again today. Using the same recipe, but this time with a pasta making machine my friend has given me on a long term lend (her husband wanted it but never uses it, I'm allowed to keep it until he remembers!)
It was soooo much easier with a rolling machine!

Home made pasta

I was very excited today to start our Zero Waste new year, it was also quite nice to shop for something which wasn't "Christmas" food. Mr H and I are feeling rather saturated with meat and cheese!
I managed to get quite a lot of things from Lidl in tins, a few bags of flour etc, also had butternut squash for 65p each so i have a few of those noe. I prefer to get my fresh produce in Waitrose and they have quite a few fruit and vegetables loose, but I had to weigh them and got stickers I didn't want, maybe next time I'll self scan rather than quick check.
I had made pasta by hand earlier in the day, along with a basic tomato sauce, we had this for dinner when I got back and it was gorgeous! I have since arranged to borrow a pasta machine from a friend because rolling it by hands was time consuming and a great deal of effort!
