    My best friend has that geometric set and uses it daily! I saw so many pieces of vintage corningware at a junk sale event here in Oregon this weekend! Thatā€™s so cool, you have researched all the vintage Corning and corelle ware!

    Yes! Keeping the Asparagus in cold water (you can throw some ice cubes in with it) will help preserve it. Keep them standing up with just the lower half in the water (Iā€™m jealous of all that asparagus!) My parents always liked Eggplant Parmesan (basically the same as the chicken version only using eggplant) and the eggplant is breaded and fried for thatā€¦soā€¦it might help! I donā€™t like eggplant in any kind of way, at all. But, for me, cooking or eating raw can make something taste good. I hate cooked carrots, love raw ones for example.) Isnā€™t your husband a veteran? Can he shop at the base store (always great dealsā€¦a good friend when I lived in CA was in the AF and would take me shopping with her at the base sometimes, fantastic bargains and no tax. She had to buy the stuff and then I just gave her the money, and she was allowed to do that, unless rules have changed, it was totally legal and okay.) Check out that Pyrex for the imprint on it to see if itā€™s the ā€œrealā€ Pyrex glass (that doesnā€™t explode occasionally like the new stuff) and will last forever!!!! If you ever see Nordic Ware baking pans in good shape at the thrift store, those are the absolute best baking pans ever!!! They have to be hand washed and donā€™t need any spray. Oh, woot! You found the vintage Pyrex!!! I found a few pieces at our local thrift store. Your fear is realā€¦my mother died when I was young, had just graduated college. She kept EVERYTHING so we had hundreds of boxes to go through. We knew what the good stuff was to keep (all the fancy china, silver, etc) but didnā€™t see a need to keep things like: every last thing youā€™d need to can food. I know thatā€™s gone, and probably a lot of other stuff. My brother and I were having a hard time doing it because so many things would bring back a memory, and it was taking forever and very emotionalā€¦so my sister-in-law went through it, so I donā€™t even know whatā€™s gone. So, maybe make a list, Amber, for your kids so they know what to look for to keep.

    I take ham's when they are on sale and pressure can them. Every little bit counts; I take the ham bones and make ham broth to pour over the ham and can the left over broth as well. I use them for pinto beans and collard greens. I use the broth to change out the water in cornbread.

    I'm satisfied with eating out of ole tin pans like back in the 1800's…
    I do all my cooking with my iron skillet and stew pot. Brew my pipping hot strong black bcoffee over the stove Yummy šŸ˜‹
    Don't need to crowd up the kitchen with the latest Gizmo's or dishes.
    I'm not having anyone over for Dinner anyway.
    Saves tons of money and a lot of aggravation.
    Try it sometime missy ……

    Those dishes are awesome. I have several pieces of my moms Pyrex, Fire King, and Anchor Hocking. She had a mint condition, never used Amish butter print bowls. I got them and kept them. I love that kind of stuff too.

    You got some quality stuff from the food pantry. Yes cut the ends off the asparagus and put the ends In a glass of water to keep it fresh . Make eggplant parm . Bread and fry eggplant . Make sure to put on paper towels to absorb the grease because it soaks up the oil, put sauce and cheese on top and bake in oven 375 for about 30 minutes until itā€™s hot and cheese is melted. I love eggplant but canā€™t eat it because so many seeds . I have several Corning wear pieces that are pretty old . Never realized it was worth money.

    Thatā€™s crazy on the bowls without seeing them. I have so much good stuff like clothing, jewellery, toys, books etc from the local charity shops – thrift shopping.

    Have you watched the home school picking and part time picker? Kayla and Matt have find and sell things from thrifting, yard sales, estate sales, auctions etc. they do keep some things too.
