The Canola margarine containers are perfect. Nice and tight and they
don't leak. But we put them in plastic bags just in case.

BTW - my wife and I have come to the conclusion that we don't make
small portions. We cook for Africa and ALWAYS have leftovers. Last
week it was a huge fish pie (good winter comfort food ) and a
sumptuous coq au vin, both of which feed us and a house guest and went
on the next day to feed our ailing neighbour and her two girls.

I'm happy to say that my wife is on a real cooking spree at the
moment. So I'm just sitting back and enjoying all the wonderful food.
