Is there any useful thing to be done with stale (unused) coffee grounds?
In Little Women , they used coffee (or was it tea?) to dye a white dress tan.
Sorry, I'm not much help.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Neato! Grace's hair is adorable!
Took brother and fam out to lunch for Father's Day. Then bbq at his friend's with a new wrinkly baby. Cuddly.
Tomorrow, I get the boys and then the next day, off to the parents'. All is good.

put them in soil, I think plants like them.
Thanks ya'll. It meets the requirements as something that will not collect dust and Uncle G can do it when it fits his schedule, and can take friends. also? price was right for a unique once in a lifetime probably gift. I was very proud of myself, and it was dumb luck, not planned.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer to make alkaline soil more acidic, I think.

Composting, aurelia. You can also keep them in a container by the sink to scrub hands with if you cut onions or prep stinky fish -- they neutralize the odors.

Coffee is a high-nitrogen soil amendment, but unbrewed it will be distinctly on the acid side.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Soil and compost aren't really part of my current living arrangements. I guess I could try the freezer thing but I wonder... does it really absorb smells or just supersede them?

In my extensive rauccous party experience of throwing coffee grounds on puke I'm going to say "actually absorbs odors" (along with actually absorbing the puke).
