MarthaJeanne 2025

Let's get rid of more books in the new year.

Did I say somewhere else that I would discard books every Thursday while Jerry is out?

OK start with the books stuck in over the shelved fiction. One was the fake Lackey book. That can go. Some girl might like it as a notebook.

The rest of these are going to fairly recent reads, that are good but probably not going to be reread. I do not seem to be in danger of running out of reading material.

Sea Swept
The novel habits of happiness

Angels Fall

It turns out that I decided to keep a few of the unshelved books, but in shelving them I found others to get rid of, so that's fine. (Safari is OK with shelved, but not unshelved.)

Why do I have Did you see Melody? I would not enjoy it. I am not going to read it.

I had more or less decided that besides doing books on Thursdays, I ought to do pantry sorting on Mondays, these being the days that Jerry is usually at the office. He's probably not going in tomorrow, in the hopes that we can get these colds under control. However, he was hunting in the pantry cupboard for some carb to serve tonight with leftover couscous stew, and started reading dates on things in back corners.

This week is accounted for. I can feel virtuous for taking the packages from him and putting them in the garbage. He stood on the stool and read the dates so I didn't have to balance up there with my magnifier and keep climbing up and down. Great start to the project!

Having decided not to read three library nonfiction books in a row, I went into a nonfiction to read pile and pulled out three great bid art exhibit catalogues that I am not going to read either.

Deleted all three from my catalogue.

It doesn't take long to discard 10 things from a pantry shelf when everything needs to go.

Sorry, the site is such a mess, I can't do this.

I found two winter jackets for Carla

We got a load to Carla on Friday, so now I could start filling up the entrance gall again.

I got rid of 10 things in the cupboard as I am supposed to do on Mondays. Amazing what lurks in there!

>13 MarthaJeanne: Yup. Lots of weird stuff.

>15 MarthaJeanne: The lentils are still good.

The last few times I have nade bread I have been using a long loaf pan. I have split the dough into two sections, the larger of which gets formed into a loaf and put at one end. Then I have added extras to the smaller piece and stuck it into the other end. This works well, giving two loaves, easily separated. Well the next one, the extras will be dried tomatoes and olives, as I found several packages near their use by dates, one way or the other. But there was plenty more for the bin. Also many other things to use up soon. The whole thing is beginning to look orderly, and organized.

I had other things on my mind today, and didn't sort the pantry.

On the other hand, supper tonight was pumpkin soup from the freezer. I added a last bit of ham and some over the date cream. Over the past few days I have also used up things from the fridge or thrown them away. That is also progress.

Did pantry again today.

I want to try to get back to discarding books on Thursdays.

Pantry work again. This time mostly stuff I put into jars, but the labels ar illegible.

>21 MarthaJeanne: I’m notorious for not labeling, thinking I’ll remember. I’ve started cutting the package name and taping the ingredient to the jar.

These are things I made and labeled, but the ink has either faded or puddled into a few intermittent blobs. I use different pens these days, but by the time a label is illegible, I', not too interested in what it might have said.

And I found a large roasting pan in the basement that can go to Carla once it's been through the dish washer. The one thing it might be useful for would be roasting a goose, but as it those times of the year our supermarket carries 'sous vide' quarters, I am not going to do a whole goose again, ever.

A few days late, but I have now discarded 9 old jars of ... and one very smelly matjes.

>26 MarthaJeanne: And at that point I got called out to assist at planting the new bushes.

Today I got a bit further in the pantry. I found a jar of Dirndlhonig with use by date of 2021. That is still very edible! This is fruit of Cornus mas cooked and pureed and mixed into partly crystallized honey. I'm hoping to be able to make a glass or two of my own this fall.

I thought that recently looking for something (that I didn't find) I had seen something else that I should deal with. Well, I had time today, so I jumped into the pile. Well, if I really saw what I think I did, I must have moved it. On the other hand, I also found a stash of baking supplies (use by 2023). Several old open packages of ginger nuts. A few old plastic plant pots. An empty box for file cards.The two books listed above. ...l

Just not the bag of socks. Or my binoculars. Well, the pile is a bit smaller now.

>28 MarthaJeanne: Had to order a copy of that first book for my son-in-law.

>28 MarthaJeanne: Found the binoculars!

>30 MarthaJeanne: They were right where you’d put them, yes?

Probably, but it was several months ago, and I had put lots of other things there on top of them.

Not being very good this year, am I?

With Jerry away, I'll try to catch up a bit.

I just put 4 shirts and a dress in a bag for Carla. Lets be honest, never going to wear them again.

All right, also 5 books I am not going to read, and that Carla can't sell. None were ever entered here. Paper recycling.

Now I can feel virtuous all day. Make that 6.

The great thing is that that opened up space so that I could sort and put another batch of books out of an area of shelf that I badly need for other things. Lots of progress.

Virtuous again!

10 old jars discarded from the pantry. I even carried them out to the garbage bin before they emptied it.

I found two jars of just out of date sour cherries. I think I need to make a cake with apricots and cherries. Upside down cake?

>34 MarthaJeanne: Sounds like an excellent plan!

>36 MarthaJeanne: It's in the oven. Loosely based on https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/upside-down_apricot_and_07986

I added cardomom, some rose lemonade, used half demerara sugar, made it in my heavy iron pan, which is big enough that I had to make an extra 1/2 batch of cake dough ... The apricots are 'home canned' by a local grower, and I need to get the jars back for this year's harvest. I'll put a picture in the refreshments topic.

Since Jerry's away I can do the upside down cake without qualms, and I did buy these pans last year with that in mind. That in the meantime they are both of our preferred pans for most cooking is a different matter.

Well I still have to load more stuff into the bio bin that will be collected tomorrow. The neighbour said he will take it out for me, so it would be good if it were more full than it is.

I'm counting the extra five for today.

Ten books by Maeve Binchy. It suddenly occurred to me that, while I enjoyed these at the time, I haven't gone back to them, and do not intend to. I still need to go through and send them to @Discarded, but I won't list them here. They never made any individual impact.

Actually once I realized how poorly some of these were entered I just deleted them. There are still several books in my catalogue that weren't in the Owned Fiction collection.

On a side note, I still own Aches and Pains. I quite enjoyed it, and sent Mom a copy just before one of her joint replacements; I thought it would be good hospital reading. She was flabbergasted to get it, but I think she had finished it before she went in.

I'm on a streak. Every day since May 15. That's a full week! It includes 50 books and the entrance hall is getting full. We'll need to do a Carla run once Jerry is back. BTW he is back in the Northern hemisphere, but New York is the same time zone as Santiago.

Wow! Impressive! I’ve slacked off considerably so I admire your industry.

Well, with Jerry not here, I have to force myself to do something useful.

I mean, I need to eat up one batch of baking before making the next. I'm not doing fancy suppers either. The laundry basket doesn't fill up fast with only me contributing. I have all the plants planted... OK I do have to do some dishes, which I will gladly hand back on Tuesday. I think I will try to add more jars to the garbage before I take it out tonight.

Garbage is ready to go out - with a dozen old jars of various jams.

Two more bags for Carla taken out to the car.

I've got a roasting pan to take to Carla, so I went into the glasses cupboard and found 9 odd glasses that I won't be using again. Since we're going, these might as well go, too. I am running them through the dishwasher, though. They have been on the shelf for years.

Does it count if I sit in the living room giving advice ("Throw it!") while Jerry checks through the open packages in the refrigerator? There must have been at least a dozen to toss. Neither one of us had done that in a long time.

>51 MarthaJeanne: If course it counts. That’s a project I need to attend to as well. But not today.

Time to move my sleeping place to the basement. As I pulled the sofa out into a bed, I nibbled around the edges of the heap. I got the wastebasket full of various things, and a shopping bag full of old magazines and needlework patterns. There actually is foot space now the whole length of the sofa.

When I went down the temperature in there was 18° with 60% humidity. Now it is 19° and 57%. I'm not really moved yet, but it was 25° upstairs last night, and I didn't sleep well.

This isn't a discard. Quite the contrary. I have several shirts that I bought from LL Beans in the last century. They are attractive, comfortable, fit me well... But they are wearing out! Some are getting threadbare around the collar, but they are all rather worn at the cuff. I'm trying to decide if I can get more years out of at least some of them if I cut the sleeves down and hem them. I think I can still manage that on the machine.

I just threw out 10 videos that I was never going to watch again, even if it were easier to do. One DVD to Carla.

While Jerry is away I'll try to get more done.

Attacking the biography shelves I find several books I'll never read again:

My heart is my own
The women of the cousins' war
The Glitter and the Gold
Penny Sweets and Cobbled Streets
A heart so big

Bluestockings
The warrior queens
Four queens
Blood sisters : the women behind the Wars of the Roses

George Vi
My Song
Paper Tigress Another 4 1/2* book I have no memory of. This one was ER.
Mistress Anne

This took a good deal of effort. As I expected, most of the India books I was prepared to discard I donated a few years ago. However I since aquired two really great ones that don't fit, and there was space below, so I 'just' had to lower the shelf a bit. It works better with tools, with a second set of hands, without 2/3 of a shelf full of books, and at a height where you have at least a chance of seeing what you are doing. However, I did it!

It trying to get back out I found an old New Scientist for the Altpapier, and a box of three fancy bread pans. I remember buying them a looong time ago, but they were never used. Carla, for sure.

The second jungle book I don't know how many copies of Kipling's books I've had over the years. Any time my father saw them in a store he would think, "MarthaJeanne needs those."

Hmmm! This shelf seems to be a cache of books entered, but never read.

The Man who ate Everything
With Bold Knife and Fork
Cod, Kurlanski
Eating my words
What Caesar did for my Salad

Yes, there are more of these for tomorrow.

>59 MarthaJeanne: Kurlanski is worth reading. I learned so much from him.

>60 2wonderY: I did read it - back when it was new. The problem with books like this once they are a few decades old is that they can't bring you up to date on how cod stocks are coping with fishing, pollution, climate change... all of which pose major challenges.

But, because that was pre-LT, I don't have any record of my thoughts on it, neither rating or review. How did we ever survive back in the olden
days?

>61 MarthaJeanne: Notebooks😊

In the process of setting up to read Mark, I could not find one of the two commentaries I really wanted, and several more were missing as well. Hunpf. A quick check in LT assured me that, yes, I did own it. However it was probably in one of the stacks of books waiting for further processing. I searched several of those stacks, coming across several things I really don't need any more. Also, of course several books by NT Wright that would probably be good to reread, just not the wanted. As I was about to give up, in fact already trying to get myself out of the area, I came across a hidden stack. Oh, well, have a look. One book on Mark. Then another. This might be a good omen. Not quite the bottom book in the stack, but almost, there was Mark for Everyone. So besides the books I need for this project, I also found several to discard.

So now I have made up for Thursday.

I guess I can count at least 10 things thrown away from the kitchen freezer.

I went to get an ice cream bar, and discovered that the freezer door had not been really closed. Argh! This is two drawers below the refrigerator, so to defrost it I had to turn the refrigerator off. Then I had to struggle to get the two drawers out. I distributed the contents between the other freezer drawers and the kitchen bin. I have to damit that I do not recall when I last defrosted this. Somehow I doubt that slabs of ice over a centimetre thick came in just a day or two. I've got most of the ice out.

Soon I will dry it out and turn it back on. The drawers will wait until Jerry can help me with them outside with the hose tomorrow. He can also help decide other items that belong in the bin.

Problem. The wet kitchen floor is very slippery. Can't cook.

Turns out the problem wasn't the freezer door. Turns out the refrigerator has decided to retire. It's the last major appliance we haven't replaced since we moved in 18 years ago. No idea how old it was then. It's quite small, so we moved our big one in, just not in the kitchen. We'll have to replace it as soon as we can, but the store is closed today, and Jerry is busy all week, add in delivery time, we're talking at least two weeks.. In the meantime, I've emptied most of it. Which means a lot more stuff thrown away that should have been gone years ago.

I was just lying down here staring at the games on top of the bookcase, and became convinced that the boxes at the left were Trivial Pursuit. They were, and they are now headed for the garbage bin. Somehow, what was trivia in 1985 (the copyright I found on one of the boxes) isn't even that 40 years on.

I also looked through a box that was blocking where the drier has to come through tomorrow, and determined that it was all, (books, pad of coloured paper, children's 'embroidery' cards) for Carla.

Tomorrow I'll be able to list our old drier.

Reread Warum schmecken Maulbeeren am besten nackt. No idea why I loved it 12 years ago. Out it goes.

Just discarded an old bottle of dDry Sack. Into a couple of fresh mole hills. Judging by the smell of the stuff it was way over its 'best before' Good. One less bottle on the shelf. Even better if it offends the nose of the mole. We had one last winter who was seen running across the street when they dug up our hedge. He had certainly made a mess of our lawn, so the sooner we figure out a way to get rid of him the better.

Problem is there are actually two possible culprits. One of them is a protected species. Pouring old booze down the holes is OK, but no poison, traps, or anything that could actually harm the poor dear. I have the feeling we might end up discarding more of the old booze.

Back in 1978 when Jerry joined the UN we had fun trying out lots of interesting stuff in the commissary. Thing is, we're not really drinkers, and consume very little even of the things we like. So some of these bottles might even be that old. Yes there are things we use up and replace. The spiced rum I soak raisins in, and the special gin I sometimes add to my tonic. Even a couple of orange liqueurs I like to add to baking.

The almost nearly perfect people Don't know how this got on my to read pile. Apparently I liked it 5 years ago. Now it's boring.

Deleted and discarded two today.

I had bought Midnight in Vienna just on the basis of the title. When I looked at it more closely I gave it to Jerry. He disliked it (maybe 2*).

In Patagonia is supposed to be great travel writing. I didn't make it to 50 pages.

Jailbird's Daughter is only getting discarded, but not deleted. There are enough characters and plot twists for three or four books.

Found a DVD of The Little Princess? What a mess they made of the story!

Jerry says I can discard most of the books I asked him to check.
To cut a long story short
And thereby hangs a Tale

Tartine Book No. 3

And 27 other books that Steven either abandoned or taken with him.

Since the abandoned books are in boxes in the back of the car, Jerry wants to go to Carla. I had several piles of books not yet deleted. He found me more. All dealt with in my catalogue, but not listed here. That was exhausting enough.

Oh, and a small pile of non-books. No bag of textiles this time.

I also found a delightful elephant bookend that was totally failing to keep the long shelfful of books vertical. I swapped it for a well engineered one that can control lots of books, but has problems keeping just two or three in order. Win, win, win. Big line of books is in order. Short line of books is in order, I can admire the elephant. (The issue is how far the bookend extends under the books.)

Well, these past few sessions have been useful. I had three shelves of short cookbooks - mass market paperbacks and books a git larger or shorter. I got rid of a whole shelfful, and have adjusted the shelves so the two remaining ones would take larger books. Except for the fact that there is very little space on them, because of course, I still have two shelf lengths of short cookbooks.

I want to sort through the books stacked on top of the bookcase and see how many I can get rid of or fit in somewhere. But not right now. I'm beat.

So far, so good. I can discard a lot of these. Some of these don't seem to have been entered (by me).

I'm not sure why I have kept all the books by Eamon Duffy, as chances are very slim that I will ever reread them. Maybe next time.

This afternoon LT decided my browser was too old, and locked me out. With much patirnce and difficulty Jerry managed to updafe my OS and browser, but things don't work right and I am very frustrated. I want my system back the way it was before the previous update. No, I never did get happy about those changes in all the years I refused to update again.
