Started a sample of face cream ... threw it out since it is bothering my skin!!

Our old cordless scredriver died, and DH wasn't keen to replace it. Figured out that the bit fits nicely in the regular drill, so we can use that as a power screwdriver when needed.

Came across these recycling ideas. A lot of these we know (and use), but perhaps it will spark an idea ;)

**I recycled the chili I made a few days ago into tamale pie for Saturday dinner.
**Sunday dinner was a use-it-up of beef burger, a medium onion, 1 cup of GF flour mix, and 14 medium aging potatoes.
**Kids have been helping me use up too -- all bananas & nectarines gone now, with 2 oranges & 5 apples left to tide them over until shopping day tomorrow.

I recycled 2 protein powder containers to hold all of the dried corn Dh & I shucked off the cobs... and all of the dried cobs got recycled into kindling to start fires.

I have a whole barrel of wood ash... perhaps I'll till it under in my tomato patch this spring. I'd never heard about spreading it on the lawn before; my lawn could certainly use all the help it can get.

I have reused toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls to make little hats to hang on my Christmas tree or use to decorate a gift.

Used up the leftover French bread making garlic bread for supper tonight.

Used up the last of the baked spaghetti for supper.

Used up the last of the cucumber in the tossed salad.
