Going...
In the last two days, I've given away...
my food processor (which meant pounding out Oreos with a mortar and pestle tonight for our Oreo crust, mint chocolate chip ice cream birthday dessert),
my mixer (beaters are permanently attached since Anna and I made a cake together a few months ago and the wooden spoon got in the beaters while beating--so I just wash them attached to the mixer),
bowls that we got for our wedding (not in good enough shape to ship, and not precious),
soup bowls,
plastic picnic-ware,
all of my spices--except for cumin and chili powder, which I am bound to need in the next two weeks,
our stock of peanut butter (Scott stocks up in case the Asian food store runs out of it--which it does sometimes),
all of my baking pans--muffin tins, roasting pans, cookie sheets, cake pans, pie pans (except for the one that the Oreo/ice cream pie was in),
the yogurt maker, which we haven't used for at least a year,
the waffle iron, which we've used a lot,
a sheet set which we bought from friends in Gabon when they left,
a sheet set which I actually bought,
a duvet which a team member must have left us as I have no recollection of ever buying one,
two towels,
Christmas lights,
lots of plastic containers,
any kitchen utensils I thought we could get along without,
and plenty of other miscellaneous stuff.
I'm very glad that we got a head start on all of this getting rid of process a couple months ago. But, it's still overwhelming and so concrete. We really are leaving and starting over in a new place. Very soon.
