“Item #0008: One whole souffle cup of hand crafted popcorn soap. A gift from my dear Friend Lindsey Sedler. New owner should be a popcorn enthusiast.” ~Megan Deal
Handcrafted Popcorn Soap
This blurry picture is of some popcorn soap, part of a collection of things Megan Deal is selling on this website to divest, earn money to work on a sustainable housing project in Alabama for a year, and probably to learn something about people who scavenge.
When I started posting this, she hadn’t sold item #0516 yet, the wafflemaker / sandwich maker. I wanted it. Mostly because the site is titled goodbyewafflemaker.com. And because my friend just raved about her sandwich-wafflemaker. And it made me think…hey, I’d like to press and cook sandwiches and batter. In fact, I just bought some whole grain, organic pancake batter and dehydrated blueberries. They sure would taste great in that wafflemaker. But it’s sold now.
Whatever. I’m still posting her site without any expectations of one of my Detroit-area friends getting me a gift. Really, her site has inspired me to get rid of my junk that happens to be cluttering up someone else’s house. I think my mom doesn’t say anything about it because she’s just waiting to see how long it’ll go on for. And the longer I wait, the more mileage the anecdote will have. Not to mention leverage. Can you imagine the possibilities?
“Mom, remember that Yorkshire pudding you used to make? That sure was good. I sure could go for some of that.”
“You left your crap in my house for 10 years.”
I wonder what Yorkshire pudding batter would be like pressed and cooked into waffle shape?
Ah, well, stay tuned for some items from my collection to be posted here for you to buy or trade. Coming soon. It’ll be fun!
