Puttering or frittering?

[Marthe48]

I don't know which to do today!

[True Dough]

1. Easy!

You combine the two. Do some fruttering!

[SheltieLover]

4. Hahaha!

[Marthe48]

5. And just like that

a new word was born

[Diamond_Dog]

2. I say fritter!

It’s less work than puttering!

[Marthe48]

3. lol

Guess I started frittering when I posted

[MiHale]

6. Fritter...life is sweeter when you fritter.

[Phoenix61]

8. It's definitely sweeter with apple fritters.😂

[Phoenix61]

7. IMHO, Puttering implies you're actually doing something.

Not quickly, but something is getting accomplished. Frittering is just wasting time.
“I puttered around in the yard then went inside and frittered away the rest of the day watching tv”

9. Putter, after having a frittata for breakfast.

10. "Ticking away....."

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun..."
--Pink Floyd, Time

11. Quite a ray of sunshine

[Solly Mack]

12. I woolgather.

[Marthe48]

13. An alternative to consider

I'll mull it over as I fritter

[Solly Mack]

14. Excellent choice.

15. Lollygagging is much easier.

[Marthe48]

17. Another good alternative!

I guess I opted for puttering, as I'm getting a few little chores out of the way.

Whatever I do, it is sure nice to have a day that isn't scheduled. Free time. Aah.

[Lars39]

18. I hear you!

I’m doing a jigsaw puzzle and watching a movie.

[Bobstandard]

16. You could putter around making fritters

Here’s a kink to an Apple fritter recipe

19. Thanks

I'm low carb. But I can eat an apple and fantasize lol

21. Do you like cream cheese at all?

[Marthe48]

23. I sure do!

I have a wonderful recipe for low carb almond flour gingerbread cookies. I make a low carb cream cheese dip/frosting.

Why do you ask?

[Niagara]

24. I have a divine Keto & Gluten Free muffin recipe.

It's my own recipe from tweaking the ingredients around.


Give me a few minutes and I'll post it and give you the link.

[Marthe48]

28. My daughter just gave me 6 pts of strawberries

I had to freeze most of them. My s-i-l is g.f. They might like this recipe, too. Thanks!

[Niagara]

29. There you go, a way to make good use of the strawberries.

My pleasure!

20. My favorite pursuit is Rubberneckin'

I like it when someone else drives and I gawk, ogle and rubberneck all that I want while I'm in the passenger seat.

[Marthe48]

26. I liked that too

Waiting for my grandkids to get their licenses, so they can drive me around In the meantime, I drive them

22. Frittering is much more fun.

Puttering involves actual activity.
