some good reminders here.

my grandmother didn't let nothing go to waste! she used pineapple rinds to make a real good summer drink and same with the water from rinsing rice before cooking. wish i could find those recipes now!

when we had watermelon she always pickled the rinds saved all eht seeds from pumpkins too. soaked them in brine and roasted them until the puffed up crispy

even the hair from our brushes got saved to put into the soil of her house plants. she said it was good for them.
