It's a good idea to keep your coffee maker lid open overnight to dry out. Sincerely, Your busybody. 
What have you got in your cupboards that rarely, if ever get used?

Haha. Yeah that. I donāt drink booze.
These are Jumping Bean flavoured coffee beans that I grind and fill that coffee pod with. It makes a killer cup of coffee. Tomorrow I shall use the French coffee press.

Mine doesnāt get much use at all plus I have discovered that I find cutting vegetable and preparing dinner the old fashion way far more enjoyable.

Wine and booze. I donāt go within 10 feet of any of it myself.

Or confusing if you aren't watching it from the beginning. My husband sees bits and pieces when I'm watching and gets totally confused.

Yes. I have gadgets for slicing and dicing but I seem to just grab the knife and get it done.

I have these in my kitchen drawers in case I might need them. An egg separator, nutcracker, egg timer, meat thermometer, tea strainer, knife sharpener, meat pounder, string for tying up the meat or chicken, lemon press, tape measure, screw drivers, scissors and a variety of junk I don't know why I bought them. No wonder I can't find anything.
You can become an honorary Newfoundlander if you perform the "Screeched In" ceremony. It involves kissing a Cod Fish and downing a shot of Newfie Screech. You get a certificate declaring you as an honorary Newfoundlander. You don't get to keep the Cod Fish though

I gave away the flour sifter.
Had forgotten about the rolling pin that sits high up in the cupboard. Doubt Iāve used it since we moved here.
The blender was rarely used. The last time I went to use it, some of the parts were brittle and broke. Itās long gone.

Oh and this RIVAL 3-speed hand mixer MODEL 433
It lives on the highest most out of reach cabinet shelf I have
Bought it in the 70's or 80's and honestly don't remember ever using it
BUT have lugged it around for 4+ decades ... because I might need one
MAYBE I used it last time I made real mashed potatoes ... when ever that was
Just tested it. Works good as new. Not shocked at that since never if ever used.
EDIT: Last time I made real mashed potatoes, I used a manual potato masher from my grandmother's kitchen
So I didn't use this RIVAL machine even then

Do you use decaf coffee? I am not a coffee drinker, so don't know. But, isn't decaf o.k. for people on meds?Yes it sure does but Iām on meds and am groggy in the mornings. We have a keurig which makes a perfect cup of coffee in about 30 seconds . Every once in a while I grind up some Nephie Screech and bounce around all day on a coffee buzz. Lol
We have these for the Keurig custom blends View attachment 327689
I've often wondered if there is a substitute for caffeine. The few that I know of cause high blood pressure just like caffeine. Only a big vitamin B complex dose does not, but strangely I only get sleepy with that.

I have some old food coloring stuff too-thanks for reminding me to throw it out!
I also have a bottle of sesame seed oil- when it is fresh you need very little of it to flavor homemade Chinese food ( which is Never the same as real Chinese food) and it can go bad fast.
I try to lean out my refrig every week, but I always put back stuff in it, that never seems to go away.
I was worried about a small jar of Gravy Master yesterday-been in the refrig a long time, but I used some and it was OK.
I am still working on re arranging my pantry-all I have left is a strong plastic tote that holds dry pastas of many different types but I know much of that must have expired by now.
I have been buying fresh Rana pasta which is almost as good as what I used to make homemade. They use imported flour and their linquine cooks in 4 minutes. On my next food shopping trip I am going to buy their linquine and have fresh little necks clams with it...they dont take long to cook either.

I have a pack of cupcake liners that I just canāt seem to part with. I donāt have any intentions of making cupcakes but keep thinking I might find another use for them.
