Speechless Sunday: Repurposing is important.

Speechless Sunday: Repurposing is important. Having grown up with parents who have been up and down the economic ladder, I learned that repurposing is important.

Perfect example is this fantastic Jar great to get the benefit of what is inside and then all you have to do is clean it out and is perfect for other benefits as well.

Just ask anyone who read my post you can even use it as a stemless wine glass:))

Endre when my parents came to the US they had very little so everything got repurposed.  Even a beer bottle served to take milk to school.  You should of seen the look on the teachers face when I took out the beer bottle at lunch time.  🤣

Hi Endre- Larry and I are very much in favor of repurposing. We are not fond of the idea of so many things being thrown away and ending up in the landfill.

I was in the mood for a fun post tonight and Endre, this post of repurposing is just perfect;  it made me laugh.  Why?!?  Well, we love the BONNE MAMAN  Assorted Preserves and the checkered-cover jar.  It is just too cute to throw away when empty, right.  We also repurpose them as you do.  Just had to smile when reading your post, Endre.

I am certain that I have a few of those myself, Endre! Using them as a stemless wine glass has not happened in the Maxwell House but, hats off to Diane for being the pioneer for stemless wine drinking!! LOL

BTW, I LOVE smoking on the Big Green Egg and someone shared a recipe with me a couple of weeks ago...mix Orange Marmalade with mustard to taste and use it in lieu of BBQ sauce. It is out of this world! Of course, I used Bonne Maman Marmalade!

Endre:

We haven't - yet - repurposed glass jars as stemware but use them for all sorts of other things. Our neighbor makes great hot sauce and salsa and we share our extra jars and lids with her...and of course she shares as well.
