Old Bread
Back in October, I decided on a new bread maker, because the old one was worn out from too much seeded dough. The mix was no longer good, and it was increasingly difficult to get the bread out once finished.
So, I followed a friend’s advice, subscribed to Ealing’s Freecycle mailing list, advertised the used and work out (but still working) tool, and got almost twenty "Please can I have it" replies within a few hours until I figured out how to stop the flood.
Excellent. I am always glad if someone still makes use of what we no longer want to use.
To join Ealing Freecycle, simply go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ealingfreecycle/, or send an email to ealingfreecycle-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (recommend use of "subscribe" in the message subject).
Note "OFFERED: Breadmaker (W7, Hanwell)" is now gone.
See "TAKEN: Breadmaker (W7, Hanwell)".
A plethora of Freecycle emails came coming in every day, so I decided to unsubscribe until such time that I had something on offer or sought something again. It’s a great system.
I am with you there, reuse/recycle is such a fine method, when I was growing up we did it all the time.. pass-me-downs from cousins..With Meera for instance, her crib, a swing and a few other useful pieces, all are hand me downs from my cousin’s children who had outgrown them. I love the idea, why throw away something that can be used.
