It was a day of wind and heavy rain so no walk for me except in the grocery store aisles as I did the weekly shopping. Once I had put all the groceries away I started on a task I have been meaning to do for some time. I have a habit of cutting out recipes from magazines, recipes that I mean to try 'someday'. I had a thick binder stuffed full. I removed them all and sorted through them trying to decide realistically if I was ever going to try them. Well over half ended up in the recycle bin. I put new scrapbook paper on the cover of my binder and put the saved recipes into it. I think in another year I'll go through them again and if I still haven't tried them I'll get rid of them too.
No pictures of that chore but I did find a humorous ad on a local on-line marketplace. Someone was selling crocheted panty pot holders.
Thanks for visiting today,

I did the same thing a few months ago. I was constantly printing out or cutting out new recipes and stuffing them into a three-ring binder. I finally got rid of almost all of them.
ReplyDeleteLove those cute potholders. I actually had one years ago. Now I'm wonderig what happened to it?!
Blessings,

I love the potholders! We like to try new recipes, but we do tend to stick to the tried and tested ( and loved ) We eat a lot of fish and we have a regular delivery ( every 9 weeks ) from Grimsby. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteI did the same with my recipes last week. Still have way too many so I'm going through a second time. I wanted a particular one and it took forever and a day to filter through so that was what got me started. Love those pot holders!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pot holders they certainly made me smile.
ReplyDeleteGood for you on going through the recipes....I need to try some new things. I am so tired of the same old, same old. But I tend to let my girls try things and if I like it, then I fix it. LOL
ReplyDeleteCute potholders...I would not have the nerve to use them as that though.
I have a binder full of cut out recipes too. I should do what you did and sort through them. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI had a good clean out of recipes like that too!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice day for walking today. :)
Haha! Nice undies pot holders. 🤣
ReplyDeleteThose pot holders are bizarre!
ReplyDeleteI don't save recipes that I see. I occasionally ask a friend for a recipe if they make it and I love it. But I'm not much of a cook!!
I have thousands of loose recipes collected over more than 50 years now! And that's just the paper ones. I have lots online but they don't clutter up my life the same way. I have a dream of sorting through those pages and papers one day. You are a good example. When I saw the picture, I thought you were going to tell us that you made those potholders!
