Thanks...Thanks Lorraine - most definitely worth it<br /><br />Thanks Ashley - I guess the point is that you don't eat them anyway - they just go out in the bin<br /><br />Thanks Vegetation - if I had a second lounge room it would be full of things that should be thrown out - but I know what you mean about sneaking them back into use - too tempting!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-41723923533785833752009-07-30T20:17:52.649+10:002009-07-30T20:17:52.649+10:00I too have trouble throwing things away.

Sadly I have a habit of putting them in.....only to sneak in and remove them again later. My husband who is very minimalist gets driven insane by the volume of what I keep :P<br /><br />That stock looks lovely Johanna :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-82391919370627979022009-07-30T13:22:17.357+10:002009-07-30T13:22:17.357+10:00I've heard about people making soup stocks fro...I've heard about people making soup stocks from vegetable scraps but I guess my thought is, if I"m not eating it originally why would I want to make a soup stock with it? But I guess because it's a stock it doesn't matter that it's peels and such.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49112760057089990292009-07-29T19:00:16.073+10:002009-07-29T19:00:16.073+10:00Very interesting!

I always felt the same about cooking vegetables for stock and then throwing them away, but I always have an array of peelings and things in my composting caddy. From now on I will be storing them in the freezer (as soon as we've eaten enough of the bread in there for them to fit :) )<br /><br />I sympathise absolutely with your yen to keep things - and I think that a bit of clutter lends character to a house. If everyone was minimalist what would us history students have to study?!Lysyhttp://www.munchkinmail.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-63538079146768660102009-07-27T02:43:30.057+10:002009-07-27T02:43:30.057+10:00I'm the same way--my sister's place is imm...I'm the same way--my sister's place is immaculate and ours is a welter of things lying all over the place--and I can't bring myself to throw away sentimental or nostalgic items! Great that you have a pic of your doll, still. And a great idea for making stock!

I'm going on to graduate school next year, but I'm curious: do you currently work in a field related to history? My dream is to work in a museum as a curator, but I would love to hear what another historian does after the academic world :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-72460406693978430032009-07-27T00:38:23.453+10:002009-07-27T00:38:23.453+10:00That is such an amazing idea Johanna.
