I don't like raisins in cookies - or cooked in anything really - so as a kid I would pick out the raisins and give them to the dog. Now the experts say that raisins and grapes can kill dogs - as few as 17 raisins can kill a 10 pound dog.

I thought that grapes were just a choking hazard. Well, I am giving the dog raisins. I believe chocolate is deadly.
I cannot be the only one that was raised to put garlic powder on dog food. I just found out it was dangerous.
The list of chicken treats is debatable too.

Garlic and onions are more of an allergy - I think it is like 10% of dogs that it is hazardous to.

Raisins and grapes supposedly contain a toxin that will kill them, just like chocolate. But that us just what my search on the web has told me. https://www.petmd.com/dog/emergency/digestive/e_dg_grape_raisin_toxicity

Who knows, our dog ate a lot of raisins in his lifetime and was fine. But, he was about 30 pounds and 2 cookies contain probably 10 raisins at the most.

If we all got together, I’d want to have a kitchen aid (not KitchenAid) swap. I have probably six measuring cup sets missing the one cup because it was either lost or ruined. I swear the measuring spoons are hiding in the drain or something. Then there’s the pans, pots, toaster oven, and storage containers I don’t use. Surely we all have things we have kept around because Goodwill is too far away, yard sales are too much work (and quite silly to attempt in the boonies) and newlyweds don’t cook.

This is a good idea!

I agree. Good idea.

Oh heck yeah! My table knives have disappeared over the years. What's up with that? Everything else has mated and multiplied in the drawers and cabinets. I have peelers I really like and use all the time, why do I keep those that I don't use???? I must just be a kitchen tool hoarder.

I had a nice new set of flatware. My husband threw out three forks in the first month.

That happens!

I have cheap silverware from Target and when they get low, I buy a new back of 6

Oh my goodness, I have several ASonTV gadgets. Since we’ve seen each other’s dishes (another thing we can bring!), we know who has what to match up with the old set we never got rid of.
I know it won’t happen. I’m just thinking how nice it would be to “find a good home” for the stuff we are willing to give away, and complete a set of things we are keeping.
