Clean an Oily Dish Without Soap - PEP BB nest.sand.oilydish

Dinner was pasta with dandelion pesto!

So I had a tupperware bowl that I had prepared chili with bacon, so I definitely wanted to get the grease/oil from the bowl for firestarter, even if it was a little messy. I did not have any scraps that went into the compost, just to my belly hahahah.

Ok, so correcting the error I made the first time. I have now used a bowl instead of a plastic container. The process was the same, although this was white chicken chili not standard fair.

Here is my submission for the Nest Aspect - Sand - Clean an Oily Dish without Soap BB.

Sausage and sauerkraut = oily plate

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
 - the oily dish after the meal is over
 - the food scraps going into a compost or animal bucket (if applicable)
 - the plate being wiped with a piece of paper for future fire starter
 - the last bit of oil being removed with hot water
 - the newly clean dish

I had some leftover tortellini with mushroom sauce for lunch garnished with a few carrot leaves for color. The sauce has a bechamel base with plenty of butter. I ate all of it, so no leftovers for the compost bin. The sauce is white, so it's hard to see in the picture, but I promise it was there. I wiped the dish out with a paper towel which will be used as a firestarter later as per directions. There was a bit of food stuck to the bottom, but it came out when I washed it with hot water and the scrubby side of a clean sponge.

I was on a roll, so I went ahead and washed a couple of dishes from breakfast too (not pictured and not as oily). This was my first time washing without soap, so I'm pleasantly surprised at how effective it was.
