Yes, the ridding home of 30 things a day has merrily - ha - been going on.
Work desk drawer is almost pretty. Adhesives/tape shelf is all organized and neat.
File cabinets were attacked early this morning. The recycling bin got a nice work-out, and there's lots of paper left to the task.
One item that was hard to part with was a large colorful hardcover cookbook. Titled "The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking", it was edited by Charlottle Turgeon and published by Weathervane Books. It looks like I probably bought it at Savers for $2.99. A long time ago......
It's a wonderful book - filled with 2000 recipes and 800 full-color photos. Says so right on the cover.
I don't think I ever cooked or baked anything from a recipe in this tome. However, in son Tyler's pre-school days, we spent many hours turning the pages and playing "Yuck and Yum." Soda scones? Yum. Birthday cake on page 125? Yum. Pickled mackerel in a lovely glass jar? Definitely Yuck. Most often we had similar tastes, but differed on green pea soup (page 645) and ham hocks in sauerkraut ( page 412). This book holds many more Yums than Yucks and if I come upon another in a bookstore or antique shop I'' certainly give it a knowing pat.
Total to date: 441
On to the next -
