At my parents’ house, there’s always a ton of jam bottles, jelly bottles, peanut butter jars, all filled to the brim because nobody’s eating ’em. The folks at home usually eat whatever’s laid out for them, not in the mood to look into the cupboard and the ref unless really necessary. So what has happened is that we’ve accumulated quite a number of strawberry jam bottles from Baguio, peanut butter of different brands, untouched guava jelly, etc.
Solution? Lay them all out on the dining table beside a basket of Pugon pandesal. One jar of strawberry jam has been finished in a couple of days. The second bottle of strawberry jam is on its way. Can’t believe the solution was that simple!
