Tuesday mornings are my busy mornings. Virtual yoga class is at 6:30-7:45am, then I rush over (usually on my bicycle, a 2 mile ride each way) to volunteer with Lanakila Meals on Wheels from 8:30am -10am. After volunteering, I head across the street to Asing Park to play pickleball from 10am-11:30 or so. One of the Meals on Wheels clients kept asking us how to tie the food bag knots. I don’t know what this knot is called but it’s interesting. I’m trying to learn about knots while working with scouts but it’s slow going for me! Maybe everyone else knows about this but I had been asking around and no one knew.
We have 2 relatively new volunteers who also happen to run a restaurant in town called The Side Street Inn. I decided to ask them about the knot and one of them knew it! She said they use it all the time for take out orders. It’s good because on one side of the knot, you can hold up the bag of food but if you need to open the bag quickly and check to make sure the shoyu packets are in there, for example, you can easily and quickly pull the other side and open the bag.
Our client was so happy to finally learn how to make that knot!
