f you’re like me and eat a ludicrous amount of seaweed you have a bunch of these boys around:
These are silica packets. There basically very absorbent sand and if you live somewhere humid like I do they can be the handiest things ever. I collect fresh herbs and if you don’t get them all the way dry they will rot 😦 in their little jars. Answer: air dry on the counter for a day or two and then drop in the packet. This also helps preserve the smell. These rose petals are nearly a month old but are still very pink and smell strongly of roses. The lavender was completely fresh going in with no trouble.
Lastly, I like using some of my paper supplies out in a field. Which is kinda bad for the paper… Luckily, you can slip one of these bad boy between the pages of a heavy book or into the card box and it will keep them from breaking down.
may the bridges I burn light the way
