Municipal recycling programs are being overwhelmed with stuff that doesn’t belong in their bins—by some estimates, it’s one-third. Check with your city first, but here are some items to keep out of recycling: Recycling 101 THE BASICS • Food and organic waste—i.e. rinse your containers! • Black plastic • Disposable coffee cups • Single-serve coffee and tea pods • Compostable plastic bags • Aluminum foil wrap • Waxed cardboard • Packing peanuts • Bubble wrap • Drinking glasses • Window glass • Light bulbs • Coat hangers

Lemon juice has seemingly endless applications in the kitchen, both savoury and sweet. It sharpens vinaigrettes and tahini sauce. It brightens creamy pastas and buttery pan sauces for seafood. And for dessert, use it in our rich and gooey Lemon Squares (recipe at lcbo.com/fdspring20). What can I do with zested lemons?
