I am glad that when they installed the mini split heat pump they ran the little condensation drain to the water barrel! Bonus! The heat pump is running pretty regularly with it being 34°C outside. The barrels are where I store water to top up the pond. #gardening #water #wastenot #PortAlberni

It's a green risotto tonight, to use up the stalks of a bunch of spinach. #wasteNot

A 20 min meditation in the kitchen #stirring

This sewing was for me today… rough cutting the neckline and sleeves off a T… then making a quick purse with one of the sleeves- including an inner pocket. #sewing #upcycling #recycling #sewist #wasteNot
And the strap was a leftover draw string from a years ago alteration.

Just made some leftover "pesto" using a 4-day old pitta bread, a bag of frozen parsley that's been in the freezer for at least 3 months (thawed), home-made pineapple-skin vinegar, some pickle juice, Lidl's cheapest non-virgin olive oil and about 6 big cloves fresh garlic. All zhuzhed up in a blender, total 2 minutes to make. Not as good as fresh pesto but a lot better than a jar from Tesco! Will try fresh (cheaper) parsley from the market next time. #WasteNot #Recipes #Food #Leftovers

Another great vegan meal at Refuse in Chester-le-street tonight. #wastenot #foodwaste

Making this roasted beet pesto again tonight!

Great way to use up beets that are starting to look a bit tired.

We paired it with a good Mexican Merlot shown in the picture, the first time we cooked this up.

A couple of weeks ago I posted about apple sauce making from our foraged apples. Here’s an update on the apple scrap vinegar I also started. I’ve strained the fruit out and put liquid in a clean jar for a 2nd ferment. The colour is quite pale but it smells okay, appley & yeasty. #wastenot #fermentation

@bitwitch1123 ya never know when you're gonna get desperate enough to hit them dregs! #wasteNot

Have just made pasta e fagioli from failed beanburgers and leftover pizza topping, plus a bit of pasta.

I understand why child seats for cars can't be donated to charity shops. But surely there's something better than landfill?! #reuse #donate #wastenot Am sad about no longer needing it already, without the enviro impact.

Oops, we just finished lunch and it's 5:00 pm. I guess that was technically an early dinner.

Still, pleased with myself for throwing together a pretty decent homemade pizza with random leftovers.

The first fix of the year: Re-taping Goretex trousers. #repair #wastenot

Back in the day Mum would do roast beef

And then the next day we kids would have the fat and congealed meat juice from the roasting pan spread on fresh white bread for lunch

It was called “having dripping for lunch” so that it seemed semi legit

This makes it sound like I grew up in the early 1930s, but this was probably the mid-1980s

My landlords have property near by that they are restoring and the pipes are frozen there now. Someone didn’t want to waste water and leave the faucets dripping. #wasteNot #oops

I enjoy the challenge of re-purposing leftovers into something new & tasty. So Thanksgiving weekend is fun! Here's one favorite that I've cooked up: Orzo with Leftover Turkey & Sweet Potatoes.

... and just in case anyone looks at my crochet and thinks I'm amazingly talented, here's my attempt at darning a hole in my sock 😂
