Two bagfuls is pretty substantial @Determined. You'll get there. 🙂
The little spare desk space I had has boxes of precious books from Mum and Dad's place filling in the gap. Really need more book space, dunno whether it should be via a book cull or via extra shelving. Possibly a bit of both.
Really got things the wrong way around today. One thing led to another...
Got some "reduced to clear" meat last night at the supermarket that needed to be cooked today. While fishing things out of the freezer and cupboard to go with it, I came across other less perishable things that also really needed using up.
As a result I've made hedgehog slice from bikkies that were past their "best" (tastes yummy and fudgy); I've reduced some stale bread to breadcrumbs to make it easy to use up; the cheap chook bits from last night have been cooked in a curry mix that included some ageing coconut and curry leaves; the cheap turkey bits are slowly cooking "confit" style in the dripping I found in the freezer; I've done a good tidy up of half of a small kitchen cupboard and turfed some rubbish.... and the lovely sunny perfect-for -gardening day outside is reaching it's end, and it's due to rain tomorrow. Waah! 
And a bit less cluttering up the pantry, fridge and freezer...
The pantry in particular has become too cluttered here. One of the many things I "used to do" but which has dropped off is baking. Because I was baking/cooking/preserving a lot from scratch, I'd bought up lots of ingredients for assorted recipes, but I've been lacking time and energy (mostly energy) necessary to put them to good use. So they sit there gradually getting stale.
If I can get enough of the pantry contents used up, I can make a fresh start with things I am actually likely to use at the moment, and maybe slowly get back to the more exotic cookery I used to do.
