Can't take the heat?

Me either.  I left the oven off today and whipped up a no-bake pie. 

Of course, it tasted extra good in my Pyrex cake pan.

I have never made a recipe the same way twice or followed a recipe exactly.  So please forgive my haphazard directions.

For the crust: 

Throw about 2 cups of pecans and 1 cup of dates (or date pieces) into a food processor.  Blend until they are finely ground and start to get sticky.  (I also added in about 1/2 cup of ground flax for nutritional benefit.)

Press in pie pan.

Middle Layer:

Thinly slice about 1-1/2 bananas and spread on top of crust.

Top Layer:  In food processor, add another 1-1/2 bananas, about a cup of berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.), and a 1/2 cup of dates that have been soaked in water for about 15 minutes.  Blend until just mixed and somewhat smooth and pour on top of first two layers.  Refridgerate overnight or for a few hours.  Then dig in and enjoy!  (I used frozen blueberries.)

Hello all! This is my first time posting on the Pyrex Collective. I am Katie of Katieebee.
I wanted to share with you the Pyrex I "found" the other day. My secret stash ;)
I wish I could say I thrifted all of these and just got awesomely lucky in a single store, but nope. I kinda cheated. I found a lady on craig's list who had had a yard sale last weekend with tons of pyrex, and I missed it!!! So I emailed the lady and asked her if she had any pyrex left over that I could possibly come check out. She was gracious enough to let me come! She was trying to get rid of her collection-and boy, did she have a collection.
She had the pinks, the blues, the turquoise, the yellows, refrigerator sets--everything!!
I discovered that my new favorite pyrex color is yellow. But I didn't end up getting those, although I wish I did. Here is what I did get:

Pinks! and a blue! She let all of these go for about $20 (I can't remember how much I spent haha) But I'd say that's a steal! Its possible to find Pyrex cheaper, but I haven't been having luck with any beautiful colors like these.

They're perfect. She even said that I am welcome back whenever I wanted some more Pyrex. SCORE!!

Pink Deliciousness

YUM! Pink Butterprint! This is my only piece. I never saw others in my thrifting journeys....Maybe this year on my trip to Maine...Maybe I can find a couple of pieces I haven't suck out yet! LOL

(legend has it that I sucked out all the Pyrex of the eastern seaboard....I beg to differ! I try but to no avail!)

This cute pic was taken in my garden with a fuschia cosmos. Lovely combo!

Golden Grape-y Goodwill Goodness

I found this Pyrex 2-1/2 quart casserole buried on a low shelf at Goodwill today.  It needed a good bath and some tickling with a toothpick to make it happy when we got home.

I have no idea what the official name of this pattern is.  Do you?  I couldn't find anything similar on Pyrex Love.  Apparently, there is such a thing as a Golden Grape pattern but it doesn't look like this. 

At any rate, it's a pretty cream color with scroll-y grapevines.  I like the half gold, half not leaves.  Same deal with the grapes, half open circles, half solid.  Unusual yet lovely, don't you think?

Pyrex In The Mist

A Colonial Mist that is. Hi, I am Leslie over at Theory of Thrifting. I thought I would share my newest Pyrex acquisitions.

This last weekend we went to our favorite place, Laughlin, Nevada. On Saturday, I headed over the river to Bullhead City, Arizona to thrift. I found the shorter blue casserole and the white casserole at the Salvation Army there. I brought them home to join the larger blue casserole and the blue mixing bowl. According to Pyrex Love , I now have the Colonial Mist Bake Serve Store set. The only thing they are missing is the lids. These bowls have the same diameter just differing depths.  I use these bowls all the time to serve breakfast , lunch and dinner. They are great!

Check this out!

Hi, I'm Jim and I'm new to this blog. I have been collecting Pyrex for a number of years now along with lots of other 'vintage' stuff. I have a blog on Saturdays called 'Retro Saturday'. Please check it out at : http://jabacue.blogspot.com

Anyway, I picked up this 'old' magazine (dated April 1942) in PEI last week at this great little converted church/vintage shop in Murray River called the Blue Moon. There is an ad for Pyrex in it....look at those prices! Double click the pic to enlarge. 

Until next time....happy hunting.

Feast after Famine

When I decided to join the Pyrex Collective I was worried that, as my pyrex finds seemed to be drying up, I would just end up posting about old finds. BUT my pyrex famine came to an end at a market on Saturday when I found these!

Aren't they fab!?!

A fab citrus splash of orange and yellow.

Pretty flowers.

Sunshiney loveliness.

Lovely blue bowl to match some other pieces I have.

These 4 bowls came to a total of $12!!! They are sitting prettily on my kitchen counter and will look very fabulous on the acres of open shelving I plan on having in my dream kitchen one day :-)
