They go together like Oil and Vinegar...

I was out treasure hunting yesterday, hitting the usual haunts.  I was mostly looking for beautiful clothing pieces to list on eBay (when the limit is lifted from my account...got about 27 days to go, I think...uhggg) but I also found some goodies while I was out. 

 I found these cute little Pyrex Oil and Vinegar bottles.  They are just about perfect with all the letters and gold scrollies.

 I love the fancy way they have "vinegar" and "oil" written.

And, of course, I love they are "Made in the USA"

Does anyone know if they have stoppers or some kind of top that might be missing?

I also found a Pyrex measuring cup.  I do not know how "vintage" this is but it says nothing on it about being "microwave safe"....LOL...so I am hopeful ~shrug~.  As you can see it is the one with red letters, a number 516.  A very much needed item for my kitchen.  I had "new measuring cups" on my grocery list since the Hubbie used the old ones to work in the back yard (???!!!???).



I was trying to be artistic with this shot. 

And don't forget about my Give-A-Way....easy to win a fun prize!!!!

WTHeck? Pyrex looking kind of "odd".

I found this odd looking pyrex thingie...does anyone know what it is?  My hubbie thought maybe a gravy seperator then said it is something medical or science related.

I just think it is cool.  Picked it up at Goodwill today and thought it was odd so I bought it to show on here to see if anyone could tell me WTHeck it is.

Thanks.

Using a Divided Casserole for Separate Dietary Needs

I am a rather new victim of Pyrexia.  I have been following this blog for awhile, yet this is my very first post.  I try to stick to my patterns, gooseberry pink, any pink or solid white, really... but we will see how long that lasts, huh?

Anyway, I wanted to post how using a divided casserole dish has made preparing dinners a lot easier.  My husband, David, and I are on two different eating plans.  I follow a low carb way of eating while he does more of a weight watchers plan.  This has made planning dinner quiet a chore. 

With the divided casserole dishes, I can, at least serve dinner in style.  I just put his meal on one side and mine, without the rice, pasta, potatoes, or other carbs, in the other side.  If you would like to read more about these particular dishes, please visit my blog, Ramblings from a Girlie Girl Housewife.

the lid does not go with this...but it works, ok, for now.

I bought the white mixing bowl, along with a larger one, at an estate sale for 4 dollars.  I believe it used to be a color but all came off with poor care.  I liked it white, it matches me pieces better, so I bought it and the larger one.  The larger one had a few spots of color on it and there were a few bowls in different sizes that were completly colored, that is what brings me to the conclution these used to be a color, as well.  I think they are part of the primary color mixing bowl set, after digging around a bit.  Now I wish I picked the other bowls up, as well.

I bought the casserole from an antique mall for 4 dollars, too, I think.  I know it was very inexpensive.  The lid came from a thrift store, I thought it would fit.  How do you go about finding the lids that fit?  Are they numbered the same as the bowls?  I see lids all the time at thrift stores but hate to make mistakes about fit.

I really enjoy this blog and am excited about part 2, as well.
