My favorite season

[khromat]

I have always loved autumn, which marks the beginning of "The Food Season" for me.  It's the time of the year when I bake a lot as the yearly crop of pumpkins appears.  Soups, breads, pies, stews, ice cream ... pumpkin can be used in both sweet and savory ways, and the heirloom varieties of Cucurbita Moschata are fabulous for the task.   As always

Curiosity compels me to ask why you need the shipping boxes returned! Shouldn't that just be part of the shipping cost?

[khromat]

Because I believe in being Green: The specialty shipping boxes can be better recycled by being re-used, and it would offset my costs of buying them by having them be value to a customer rather than a cost.... what better value and reason to re-use than sending it back for more pie? :D

Well, my concern is that the boxes will have contained food items, and thus if you reuse a shipping box, you risk introducing germs into the next pie! Wouldn't it be easier to have customers recycle or use their shipping boxes as compost?

The pie will be wrapped before it's put inside the shipping box, so the chances of contamination are small... but just as important, the foam can be safely cleaned.

All right. ^_^ Hope it goes well! I hear that you already got a bunch of orders in.

One of these days I should try baking a pie, 4realz!
