Wondering if it's time to do a bit of a destash. A small bookshelf is full of tubs of knitting/crochet needles all going dusty.
I am still interested in crafting but there isn't a space set up to be sewing with the machine, I don't want to drop a pin or stray thread for kitty to eat, and I seriously burned out on knitting/crochet after the LDs. (I even have to push myself on doing art.) Might keep a spare ball or two for unfinished projects just in case but wondering if most of the the random balls of acrylic could go. Maybe even the granny squares too.
Then the needles and books could fit in a plastic tub and room could be made in the cupboard to store them away. Then the art stuff could go on the cleared bookshelves.
No idea where this energy is going to come from though. It will have to happen one task at a time as possible. I'm also having to fight the pack rat in me
In the book I've been listening to, they mention Powdered Eggs so I just had a bit of a look online at what exactly they are. Turns out they're just dehydrated eggs and APPARENLTY they scramble up quite nicely but I'm dubious.
Anyone scrambled up some powdered eggs? I might Science this bitch up next time I go to the supermarket. How bad could they be? Surely not as bad as the ready to pour eggs you can get in those milk carton styles because I tried them once and they suuuuuucked.
When I was a kid there used to be an Egg Drive in schools for the hospitals. Kids would bring in a raw egg to donate, all the eggs would be sent somewhere where they were dehydrated for use in kitchen hospitals
Sounds awful. Also why? I see no need for them unless living in Antarctica. You can get eggs pretty much anywhere and fresh eggs last for at least a month. Useless processing to produce an inferior product? I would always use a real egg.
Could be great for long distance hiking... living in the outback maybe... hotels and mass food production... commercial bakers...

They are ok for scrambled eggs, but fresh is definitely better. I use powdered egg in cooking a bit as it is much easier when you do a single serve and need a fraction of an egg.
I bought some in pandemic times just to have in the cupboard. I used them up in baking without any noticeable difference, but idk about scrambling them. They don't look like an egg when you reconstitute them.

I should have stayed a night or two in hospital but I didn't wanna. 😔
Now I swear doc thought I was faking and wouldn't give me a script for anything stronger than nurofen.
I have terrible pain but limited loss in joint and muscle mobility and strength
this is what happens when you're a fitter than most people your age ( which is pathetic considering I'm unfit ) and diligently do sciatica exercises all the time
