    --1 book & 1 necklace to charity (The seniors home can use these things in the tuck shop) note to you all they really love jewellery especially long necklaces that
    they can put over their heads, that way they don't need to ask for help.
    --1 can of paint, 5 cont. of product to clean cars---in a hazardous waste bin to take there next week.
    --3 cont. of wipes for the car tossed and cont. in recycle---these were bought before we moved to this house and they are dried up and evil smelling.
    ---4----- 1/2 lb bags of buttons sold on Kijiji for $10.00 better to have the money then buttons I have been collecting for too many years to mention...lol
    Total to date 15
    My goal will be 150 items this month. Shouldn't be hard at all the garage needs to be finished this year.
    Even if I never plan on moving my new goal is to know everything I have and feel it could be moved into a 1 bedroom apartment without it being a major stress.

    Last night I sat with my favorite Indian cookbook (from the library) called "Six Spices" and I went through all of my Indian spices. I purged most of the yellow mustard, since I din't know yellow isn't used in Indian cooking. I do have black mustard seed. I purged old green cardamom. I combined some containers of ground red chiles. Same for coriander.

    Basically, I verified that I've got all six of the spices she uses in this book about basic Indian cooking although the cumin is very old and needs to be completely replaced. Now, on to cooking with them!

    This is goal of mine in retirement, do a whole lot more Indian cooking.

    Wish I lived closer, Iris Lily. Perhaps you could move...

    I'm filling the car again; getting rid of stuff is like working with dry sand--you dig a hole, turn your back, and whoops! It's full of sand again. I've sent some stuff to friends, and I continue to sort.

    Used 40 plastic pots for lilies, potted them up and am selling them at our society's lily sale.

    In addition I planted up a few glazed pottery planters that someone else had thrown out into our alley trash last year. I included them in this batch, charged an extra $5 for the "nice pot" and already they are sold to members of the society before our sale officially opens tomorrow.

    I LOVE recycling alley finds into sales.

    haha, yep, ok! And maybe when I throw out my old cumin, I can count hat as, what-300 items? because each grain counts as one.
