Things you buy and never really use

But when it comes to food prep, I'm kind of a dinosaur (more comfortable with a peeler or a paring knife). So how are you, anyway? Boru

Lots of loose leaf teas that sounded good when I purchased them but then I don’t make tea. Well, I use some of them but I buy too many flavors is the problem.
Umbrellas too. I have five umbrellas and never use them.
Fire extinguishers.
And I'm really OK with not using them.
One of the first lesson around here is that you never use umbrellas, not even when it's raining. Unless you have some masochistic desire for throwing money away. Damn windy here, especially while raining.

I bought 9 bags of tortilla chips and a dozen cake mixes with matching frosting. I haven't eaten tortilla chips or baked a cake in six months.

Tortilla chips can be repurposed as a fire started. Cake? Dunno..... Eco friendly football yardage line marker? |
