Today, I got rid of...yay!

femmennoir · 12-28-2010, 06:31 PM

Working on a large bag of goodies to take to my classroom: magazines, tons of pens and pencils accumulated from fairs and events, yarn and fabric, books about France, French cds, maps, craft books.... I am on a roll!

I was channeling Sassy Leo, so

I got rid of every expired condiment in the door of my refrigerator that I didn't want.

There was more than one kind of vinegar.

femmennoir · 12-28-2010, 06:58 PM

Vinegar never expires, and most condiments don't either, because of their acidity or salt content!

Elle*, just saying...

femmennoir · 12-28-2010, 07:00 PM

But June, why do you need the French things?

Nobody likes food prepared with cloudy vinegar.

femmennoir · 12-28-2010, 07:53 PM

Chancie, cloudy vinegar only means the vinegar mother is doing her job, one can filter it! Then if you have an active vinegar mother you can add little bits of leftover wine to your bottle and you will have vinegar forever! (This should be in the frugal gourmet section I think!)

Oy, please don't tell the recyclists.

Or, should I say, 'Mon Dieu'?

dixie · 12-28-2010, 10:04 PM

Today I got rid of...more useless sh*t. Cause I'm tired of folks threatening a hoarder intervention... Guess I really didn't need every craft and homework assignment brought home since kindergarten...

Someone might want to clue Sassyboo in on that Jello part...

I have some honey that looks icky. How can I bring it back to beautiful velvety smoothness?

I think we need to start a thread on how to refresh, recycle, recondition and re-use your common kitchen staples! Then there are the "other" uses, the non-intended ones, like using mayonnaise to clean the leaves of your greenery...
Elle*, feeling inspired!

I didn't have a dining room table that anyone could dine on, because of sundry trash and my son's Legos mushrooming all over the top of it. Today I cleared off the entire surface, polished it, and sorted Legos into plastic tubs for building blocks and one for people/monsters. So, does getting rid of the junk on my table count?

Lynn · 01-17-2011, 10:38 PM

Between yesterday and today, I got rid of five shopping bags full of stuff. Posted stuff on freecycle and people magically came to my house and picked up stuff.

Included: three sets of sheets, a purse, a wallet, jewelry, some clothing, heatable aromatherapy booties, lace curtains, puppy training pads, and other stuff I can't remember. Also threw out a large bag of trash.

Yay!!
