Buy Nothing Group, and few meals

Hello everyone 

I’m happy that most of the stuff on my to do list is done

I had a pretty big pile of discards and I gave most of it away on a local Facebook Buy Nothing group. 

As people claimed things,  I put them in grocery bags with their names outside our home.  

It’s all on the honor system but so far, things are getting picked up and it’s been fairly easy.  

Buy Nothing groups are local, by city and town.  If you have a Facebook account,  I think they can be a great way to give things away free  or to get things for free.  

We gave away an assortment-some was our stuff, some belonged to our daughter’s family. 

We still have our original doors and windows but have ordered new ones.

The front door will look like wood but I think it’s some kind of fiberglass.  

I wanted internal blinds on the windows but we have 7 curved windows and internal blinds aren’t available for them.  

But it is OK.  New doors and windows are expensive and having internal blinds almost doubles the cost.  
We found out today that we should have our new windows and doors installed in February.  That’s much earlier than we were expecting.  

We had homemade pizza one night with a 1/2 recipe of the dough in the link below

And stuffed bell peppers another meal- they were still steaming when I took the photo. 

I used the recipe below as the base but it used 6 peppers and I only used 2.  

They were delicious and I should make them more often.

Hope you all have  had a good week

Working on my to do list

Hello everyone 

I can’t say I’m going real fast but I have checked off a few things on that to do list.

My biggest job was deep cleaning the fridge.  

When there were 7 of us living here,  it was like a game of Jenga fitting all the groceries, leftovers, lunch things, etc in to this fridge.  

It seemed like it was always full to capacity. 

So yesterday, I took everything out shelf by shelf.  I also took out all the shelves and drawers and door cubbies. 

Everything got washed in the sink with Dawn Powerwash and and a scrub brush.  

I’m a big fan of the Dawn.  It really cleans off stuff with no effort.

After 

Besides cleaning,  I also refilled the tea dispenser, peeled a bag of tiny oranges, 

and brought more eggs and a bag of big oranges from the shop fridge into this fridge. 

I found multiple types of cheese that need to be used soon so we will be having pizza, tacos and salad with grated cheese on top this week.  

There are also 2 containers of sour cream so I should use some of it in something baked soon.  

I only cleaned the fridge side.  The freezer side still needs cleaned but I don’t think it will be a very big job.
