What should I look for in a bread box?
I've been liking bread (a lot) recently and have been eating nice breads. I'm think about getting a nice bread box. Why are/were bread boxes used? Should I get one? What features, materials, types?

What do you do when your hot cut heater gives up the ghost? Well, you build a passive solar flood heater, natch. Kasin Hunter, a do-it ...
Sending your children off to educational institution with a delicious packed lunch is one of the best things you can do to resist them have a great day. Every new term we have great intentions to create scrumptious, perfectly balanced lunches, but all too often lack of time and ideas have us falling back on the same foods every day.
As a multi-tasking mum, it’s mouth-watering to fill a couple of lunch box spaces with an easy treat that children young lady. But ready-made foods can be highly processed with high levels of pile up, sugar and saturated fat. Not only is that bad for your children’s health, it’s also guaranteed to origin a mid-afternoon slump that’ll have them struggling to concentrate on their lessons.
Making your own lunch gives you the accord of mind that your children are eating the food they need to keep them flourishing, full of energy and help them learn. And there are lots of homemade options that are quicker and easier to present than you’d think.
The* Avatar Moving picture. The iPhone 5 could emerge as either James Cameron's Avatar (the overjoyed's biggest blockbuster) or M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar silver screen (a flop). The iPhone 5 has higher pre-launch insistence than any previous iPhone launch. Historically, each new iPhone paragon found higher sales than previous ones. Investors have been buying Apple's shares at $400 apiece on forecasts that the iPhone 5 will have recite sales. Apple has sold 20.3 million iPhones in the lodgings ended June 25. Analysts from Jefferies are already counting on 25 to 26 million iPhone 5s in the next three months and 100 million iPhone 5 units in 2012. But inclined the quality offerings by rivals and production problems at Apple's end, what if the iPhone sales start to dull-witted down? What if Apple just releases a refreshed iPhone 4 with an iOS5 OS? It will automatically be labeled as another extravagant Kevin Costner movie.
My friend Bryant Holsenbeck has taken on a challenge that I think is way harder than trying to eat for a dollar a day — she’s trying to go for a year without using disposable plastic. Whoa!
I’ve been working on helping her think of alternatives. My strategy is to step back and think about what people did in the old days before plastic was used for everything.
I was thinking about bread, and how bread gets stale if you don’t put it in plastic, and what they did before plastic. And I thought about bread boxes, which I’ve never really thought about before except for the “Is it bigger than a bread box?” question in Twenty Questions. So I told Bryant she needs to get a bread box. (I think she did.)
The latest conundrum is how do you get diswashing liquid without getting a plastic bottle? We’re a little stuck on that, though I have some ideas and am running some experiments and am hopeful that I’ll be able to figure something out.

I buy dishwashing liquid from a bulk foods store here in NZ, just filling up my own bottle. Another method is to swish plain soap around in the water as the water runs into your dish pan or sink. People used to use a wire gadget for this that had a hinged cage to hold a bar of soap at the end of a long handle. Modern plastic versions are still sold. However, this isn’t “disposable plastic”, so would be okay for this challenge. Hanging a bar of soap from the tap in an open weave bag would work too. I think those bags are a popular space saving idea on boats. If you do an image search for “soap saver”, you’ll see different options.
Have you visited Fake Plastic Fish’s blog? She has been trying to live plastic free for almost three years and would have some great tips. I think she uses Dr Bronners bar soap for dish washing.
...Hey guys. My next project right now is a Breadbox, and I have the actual box finished, and now I just need to make the door on the front. I made a mitered frame, and I want to put a groove in the pieces, and add a piece of glass. But how do I go about staining gluing and sanding this?
The other option is to just rabbet the pieces and add the glass after its all done with some hardware at the hardware store to hold it in. But I would prefer the completeness of the pieces the other way. Any suggestions are welcome.
bgilb, i agree with other suggestions. use moulding to hold the glass in similar to how old house windows did it. I’ve broken many of those when I was a kid lol, and my dad said I had to learn how to replace them since I was the one who would break them. Much easier to remove trim and replace glass than replace the entire frame.
