Found
- A billion lighter flints, safety pins, thumbtacks, rubber bands, keys, hinges, and screws.
- All of my measuring cups and spoons.
- Many Gladware(r) lids, not so many Gladware containers.
- Assorted coins, which Rebecca immediately claimed for her piggy bank.
- All of the pieces of my cookie press, meat grinder attachment, grating attachment, and pastry bag.
- Cookie cutters galore!
Discarded
- Two dead onions. Really dead. Or undead. They were hiding their zombie status.
- Two Pyrex lids whose casseroles were long gone. (I weep at the loss of my casseroles, though.)
- Rubber baby bottle nipples.
- Dead batteries. Again with the dead.
I also took the opportunity to re-season my Lodge(r) cast iron Dutch oven, and to wash each bin in the bathtub before putting it back on the clean counter and re-organizing all of the contents. Tomorrow, the cabinets and the other kitchen counter.
What is it with the Gladware lids?! I know they come in matched sets, but right now I have about ten spare lids for Gladware that doesn't exist any more, and since I only throw it out in sets... This makes no sense. At all.
I honestly don't know. Evil lids! I even found some ancient Ziplock lids... It is a plot by Gladware et al. to make me buy more containers, but I am resisting!
