who knows, but never before or after have i ever tasted such a perfect glass of wine (an unfortunately that one glass of wine has spoiled me for life, and remains the standard by which i judge all wines). i'm not even going to mention the floor. lucky for you there are number of options available. i can with clean (no debris, washed by hand or in the dishwasher, or new out of the box) jars and new lids. think we can afford to do nothing? so, your sink opening will no longer be closed with the food waste.
