Every now and then you come up with something that saves you time, stickiness, ants and expletives and you just have to share it. Here’s one of mine
I love honey. Honey, honey, honey. I put about two tablespoons (I know!!) of honey in my Earl Grey every morning and my husband and kids enjoy more moderate amounts of honey in their tea as well. Yes my children drink tea. I make them their own little version of decaf Earl with honey and lots of milk and they love it!
Well since we go through so much {local, raw, unfiltered} honey, the cute little bear bottle just don’t cut it. I’d be through with that baby in a week. I’ve started buying the larger bottles. Soon I’m going to have to start purchasing it by the gallon I’m afraid. Anyway, the problem with the big container is it’s lid. When you pour honey out of the lid, honey POURS out of that lid. Then it slides down the sides of the bottle leaving a trail of sticky residue behind. Before long, no matter how much you try, you end up with a sticky bottle and ants in your cupboard.

One day while walking through the grocery store with my family, we passed the condiment aisle and like a wild woman I dashed over to the ketchup. Of COURSE! The upside down, squeezable ketchup bottle would be perfect for my honey conundrum! And at $1.97, I didn’t mind pouring out the contents just so I could use the bottle. Now when I stop squeezing, the honey stops comin’! Praise Him.
