You know what day it is. it's Clean Out Our Kitchen Junk Drawer. Go over to the drawer open it and throw 3 things out.

[debm55]

If you have not used them you, you won't us them, Get rid of them, I found a pair of baby cuticle cutters and 2 packs of matches. Come back and tell us what you tossed. Thank you my friends.

[justaprogressive]

1. Two packs of matches

...should only count as ONE.

[debm55]

3. You are right justaprogressive. Now I will find a third thing. And you can throw away 3 things from your junk draw.

[justaprogressive]

4. Sorry

I don't have control over our kitchen "junk" drawer...

[debm55]

6. What's that supposed to mean? Open the drawer and find 3 things of yours to throw out. or your garage--tons of stuff

There. Don't worry, we have your back. It's toss it Tuesday.

[justaprogressive]

7. See that's the problem...

they're under my wife's control.

If I throw something away, she rescues it, for future generations!

[debm55]

8. Go to the garage and throw away 3 things you will never use.

[debm55]

5. I found a marble,

[hlthe2b]

2. Dead batteries (I have a tester); dried up highlighter and sharpie pens; keys that I have zero clue (kept them for now)

[CTyankee]

43. Until a year ago, I didn't know batteries have lives. I just thought a battery is a battery. I didn't know what I didn't

know.

[pansypoo53219]

9. NEVER! i add do dads.

[debm55]

19. pansypoo53219, do you ever use those do dads???? If not, adios do dads.

[pansypoo53219]

31. years ago i grabbed a big jar of nuts/bolts etc. our 1926 era bathroom deco lighfixture was missing some screws + bits +

i found what we needed in the jar. it had door knob set screws etc. if i need a tack, i have tacks. nails, etc. the cherry spear i grabbed works great for the lint filter. ice pics always handy. a itty bitty screwdriver fixes the sauce pan handle. my old bottle brushes clean my teapot. my old heaters are the only ones we can use or our fuses blow.

[CTyankee]

32. Fuses? You still use fuses? We had those in our house and didn't know about them until they all blew the day after we

moved in. I had no idea what a fuse was. Our house was built during the last year houses were built before WW2 and had been previously owned by a very religious couple who belonged to a small Jewish community in our section of New Haven. I didn't even know what a fuse was. I learned quickly and we had to update our house. I was pretty ticked off at the time but I got over it.

[pansypoo53219]

50. oops. we had fuses at the old warehouse i used to work at, we have an old electric system, we have to 'reboot' the

kitchen mostly. our house built in 1926. but rather modern. copper flashing everywhere + the windows don't use
the normal weights. we have springs. i have done estate sales for 20+ yrs + never saw springs. only the kitchen i guess. gotta check elsewhere. front + dinning room windoors open like doors. so many windows. + no ac.

[CTyankee]

52. Oh, don't get me started on windows. We had the old rope, weight and pulley ones and when the rope got old and

frayed the windows came down with a thud. That was our very next improvement. However, we got nice, well fitting windows, our second improvement. Don't even ask about the kitchen stove but it was gas and we wanted a gas oven. That old oven belonged in a museum and we actually tried to sell it as a vintage item but alas, no takers. We did get a nice modern gas stove in black cuz I didn't want to clean it too often. It looks great and has only had one repair in all these years...(over 20).

[pansypoo53219]

55. i want an electric stove. i did fine using my grandma's + the cottage old electric + way easier to clean.

we haven't had to fix any ropes in any windows. just the cat incident. leaded windows a bit more trouble.

[CTyankee]

56. My stove has had one repair over some 10 years. But the cost was $250 for the gas repair guy to come to us for repair.

I guess nothing lasts forever...

[pansypoo53219]

57. actually the stove i really want is our cottage's wood stove that was pulled out of the ruins of the 1900's family

cottage. never baked anything, but i loved cooking on it. i did once get the oven up to 400f.

[3catwoman3]

10. You have only 1 junk drawer?

[debm55]

12. I have one in the kitchen, three in the bathroom and garage is one big junk drawer,

[justaprogressive]

11. Cleaned out desk "junk" drawer

4 sticks of Ram,

2 hard drives

Drawer is much lighter now!

[debm55]

14. I bet that feels good. Thank you Justaprogressive. Next week on Trash door Tuesday. you can start on the garage.

[justaprogressive]

17. My car is very much

looking forward to using the garage again, but right now
it's filled to the brim with heavy furniture....too heavy for me to move...jus' sayin'.

[LoisB]

13. A produce bag, an old door lock, instruction sheets for something.

[debm55]

16. Good for you LoisB. I knew you could do it.

[LoisB]

21. I'm not going to tell you all the stuff I moved to someplace else. Shhhh...

[debm55]

25. OH, But that is not what the Tuesday Toss out day is about.LoisB.How could you do that.?

[LoisB]

28. LOL. But I DID throw out four things.

[Polly Hennessey]

15. Four vegetable peelers. I threw out three. How did I end up with four?

Tomorrow, I will assess the eight tongs I have. Eight?? I had a tong explosion 💥

[debm55]

18. Thank you very much Polly Hennessey, We knew you could do it.

[CTyankee]

20. Ahem, I do this routinely. I can't stand it after just a little while. Plus, I have limited space. Plus, I don't cook.

[debm55]

24. That's great CTyankee.

[CTyankee]

30. I'm kinda lazy, actually. But thanks for the applause!

[catbyte]

22. Expired AAA batteries, a 1/8 roll of duct tape with cat hair stuck to it, and a

2-year-old packet of hot sauce from Taco Bell.

[debm55]

23. Excellent job, Thank you very much catbyte on behalf of the Junk Drawer Clean Up Crew.

[SheltieLover]

26. Plastic utensils from Captain D's seafood place

Too bad the "fish" was ALL breading, literally empty on the inside. Rotten bastards.

Never again. .

[debm55]

33. HAHAHAHHAHHA. Thank you very much. SheltieLover. for sharing.

[SheltieLover]

36. Seriously, Deb! For a $40 "family meal," I got a bag of plastic utensils and NO fish

It's like they slice the fish so thin, you could literally see through it, then bread the hell out of it.

Well, I don't eat the breading for health reasons, so this really made me angry.

[debm55]

37. That is alot to spend on breading. I had that happen at Long John Silvers. We got breading with no fish. Didn't pay

that much. Never ate there again. Did you complain to the manager about it. sorry that happened to you.

[SheltieLover]

38. Nope. I'm sure they know what they're doing. I fed it to our dog for treats 'cuz I sure wasn't eating that

Sorry to hear Long John's has gone to hell, too.

If you love Pacific Cod, though, Aldi has been carrying it. I air fry it. ZERO breading & 100% yumminess.

[debm55]

39. Thank you very much SheltieLover, We do have a Aldi's close by.

[SheltieLover]

40. Yw. Apparently, my Aldi is no longer carrying it.

The Pacific Cod is fresh. Very different from wild caught Alaskan Cod they offer frozen.

Good luck!

[debm55]

41. Bummer, I will check our Aldi;s

[SheltieLover]

42. If you think of it, would you pls let me know?

I dearly love it & there is nowhere else to get it here.

It's in section with fresh salmon, not frozen.

[debm55]

45. I will

[SheltieLover]

46. Ty!

[PJMcK]

27. BBQ implants from my brother

They have handles like the terrific Craftsman tools of yore. They’re too big and unwieldy.

They’re off to the thrift shop.

[debm55]

34. Thank you very much, PJMcK for sharing.

[BootinUp]

29. Where's the good scissors?!

[debm55]

35. Yes, that is why we are cleaning the junk drawer , so we can find our good scissors.

[QED]

44. 5 meat thermometers? Really?

Four wine corker things? I'm more of a beer drinker but they work for brews too so I'll only toss two.

I'm tossing four of the meat thermometers and keeping the super fancy electronic one.

Thanks for the inspiration. I have accumulated so much stuff over 40+ years and need to pare things down. I have tools from my mom that I don't use but I still can't part with yet - and she's been gone over 20 years.

[debm55]

47. I plan to have to have a junk drawer TOSS OUT, every Tuesday.

[MissB]

48. I'm a day late but

I don’t have a junk drawer!

When we remodeled the kitchen a few years ago, I didn’t put a catch all drawer in. Best decision ever. Really cut down on the junk, because there is nowhere to put it.

[debm55]

49. You are very smart. MissB , I admire your foresight.

[Captain Zero]

51. Just 3 things? I doubt I'll notice a difference.

[debm55]

53. Captain Zero , we do this every week. Slow but sure.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Absolutely Not

Those are our valuables! I don't even know what's in there but, I'm sure it's all valuable!

[JMCKUSICK]

58. Plastic Utensils half opened with fork/spoon/knife missing

Those long metal Shish-Kabob rods, and a couple of straws.
