If push comes to shove, we could always staple the label to a baggy.

Dani: How do you do the sewing elastic? Sometimes I know I am a little slow. I can easily buy dymo tape, but it won't stick on these bags in the freezer. I thought about the Pen Friend, but I would have to haul that thing around with me, and it could break. Low tech or no tech is usually a bigger pain but better in the long run.

Now, the Apex dumped all it's software and is in the mail to be repaired, that is, if I can afford the repair bill when I get the estimate. Boy! There is nothing like a slate, stilus, dymo tape and Braille paper. Luckily, I have all those. Can't wait to get out and get the sewing elastic and try out that project. What is that site for escaped mystery pills? -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 9:12 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Dani Pagador <pocketfulofs...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Labeling problem That's why I went the low-tech route. I know that it takes time to make the labels by hand, but if a high-tech device like Pen Friend or the bar code reader ever breaks or isn't available and I were dependent on it, I'd be in huuuge trouble. I'm waaay too dependent on my iPhone as it is. At least for this gal, Braille and the slate and stylus will never go out of style, not as long as I can read it and use them. I may run out of Dymo tape and elastic, my preferrd materials of choice, but there's all kinds of stuff labels can be made out of. I like seeing what everyone else is doing to solve the labeling problem. Mary, too bad there isn't a site that can identify seeds for you the way they have one now for identifying mystery pills that find their way out of the bottle. Maybe you could sprout some of the mystery seeds and, if you've had them before, identify them by taste? Aaron wouldn't be able to help identify them visually, would he?
