a few paltry things i got rid of this summer -
some were thrown out, some were donated, some were given away.
a whole 9 small items out of the house, bringing our total to 77.

to me summer means trying to eat as much local fruit as i possibly can. and often i buy too much, and then we freeze, puree, or make sauces from what is getting too soft/old to be eaten in it's original form.
i had some strawberries and nectarines that were on the way out, so we cut them up and cooked them with some butter and maple syrup into a lovely sauce that was delicious over ice cream, on pancakes, mixed into yogurt, or just eaten on its own.
not that pancakes are difficult to make, but i thought it might be nice to have a ready made mix on standby for when The Girl requests weekend pancakes. I used a Nigella recipe for the mix. it was a breeze to have an easy mix on hand to grab - it only took a few minutes and the ingredients couldn't be simpler.
