Chop it Up: Friday Quickie

Whether you take out or dine in/out, many restaurants (especially sushi joints) tend to have disposable flatware and chopsticks for your taking.

Rather than using the chopsticks once before pitching, bring your own. I have a handy bamboo ware set (including chopsticks!) that I stash in my purse and take out when eating.

Picking up to take home? Tell your sushi, Thai or Chinese joint of choice that you don’t need the chopsticks when you place the order.
