First Post!

Oh my, I don't have a bunch of pretty Pyrex pictures to share right now. Just one bowl today. But I'll be sure to come back and post more. If you can believe this, I actually sold a bunch of Pyrex in the past few months. Eek! What was I thinking!? A Spring Blossom Green casserole, and worst of all a lovely old Forest Fancies that I literally put the breaks on so fast while driving around garage sale-ing, I almost caused an accident. (There I was sprinting from the car and then with as much calm as I could muster - although I was giddy with Pyrex spotting excitement - asking a woman who was sitting on an old davenport smoking a cigarette, "How much for the Pyrex?" She looked at it, gave a sort of grunt, and said "A buck.") And I sold it recently! I don't know why. What's wrong with me? What horrid anti-Pyrex ailment came over me?

So, okay. Please forgive me. But as you can tell I still haven't forgiven myself. Ahh.

Here is my favorite Pyrex bowl. At this point, I forget where it came from but I use it all the time. I love to imagine who owned it before me, who purchased it brand new. It's definitely got "used" written all over it. I *use* it as a mixing bowl, and as a vessel for my famous potato salad, and sometimes I just take it out for eye candy purposes.

Here I was making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for my daughter. Recipe can be found here; it's good.

And here we have strawberry syrup. Sorry, no recipe for this one - we just winged it.

I'll be back soon with more. I have the most darling Pyrex butter dish I want to share because it's different and pretty and I don't even know what it's called. I blog at Rhythm of the Seasons and you might be able to poke around there for other Pyrex doodads. Thanks so much for reading.
