Want to fill a 502?

I've got the perfect recipe for filling a 502. Homemade Cheez-Its.

I can't guarantee that it will remain full for long. These are amazing! You can find the super simple recipe HERE.  My tips for this recipe are to roll them thin, make sure to get them down to 1/8". You don't need a cookie cutter you can use a knife to cute the squares and instead of Kosher salt I used sea salt and sprinkled some on the top of the crackers as well.

Enjoy!

Resistance is Futile

 If you've followed my previous posts you know that I stick firmly to my self imposed rule of only collecting Aqua, Orange and Daisy/Citrus Yellow.

I broke my own rule.

How could I resist? It's the special grass green color that I've only seen two pieces in (The crazy quilt and this utility dish).

Here's out it looks with the rest of my collection, it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, just kind of blends in to the aqua.

(Sorry for the bad lighting. My overhead kitchen light is out)

I'm so glad they didn't make a whole collection in this color, otherwise I might be in trouble.

Pie!

For Christmas I made two pies and of course used my Pyrex. Wanna see? Good!

The first was a pecan pie I had made before with ok results. This time it turned out much better.

The second was a deep dish apple pie. I only have one pie plate so the cake pan does a beautiful job holding all the apples.

I served them with homemade ice cream and whipped cream 'natch. The apple pie was declared the best ever by no less than four people. I'm convinced it was the Pyrex (and my mad baking skillz)

Here's what my collection looked like in August:

Here it is today:

I didn't think it could get better than the aqua and orange combo but adding the school bus/daisy/citrus yellow really does it for me. I love it!

I've slowed down on collecting, I actually have the will to say no to pieces now. I'd like to cobble together a set of bowls with the two 403's I have (orange and yellow) and I don't think I can ever say no to a fridgie...oh and if I found large orange utility pan I certainly won't turn it down.

I fiiiinally found two vintage Pyrex pieces to share.  It's like a Pyrex desert around here.
