My very smart husband is of the opinion that no home should have only ONE pie plate. Pie is something that should not be hampered by such logistics. :)
So, I have been on the lookout for a second pie plate. I like the glass ones. I had looked at antique stores, etc. Last weekend we were in a Marshall's. I saw a glass pie plate. aha! $12.99! What??? no way. So I put it back. The very next store we went to was Target. TWO plain glass pie plates just like I like for $4.50. Now that's more like it.
I bought them wondering did I really need THREE. Tried to give one to a friend but she already had a bunch also.
Just this morning I realized a wonderful use for it.
My super cool and talented at gift giving sister-in-law, Mandy, gave me an herb themed gift for Christmas (we celebrated at Thanksgiving since we'll won't be together on Dec. 25th). First up, herb snips that I'd registered for! Yea! Second, a neat book called "a handful of herbs" with gardening, cooking and decorating tips and finally I opened a wrapped box to unveil a BEAUTIFUL pot filled with oregano, thyme, basil, sage and rosemary. We used the oregano in a frittata this week and the sage and thyme in a salad. Yummy!
The only downside was that I did not have anything to set the pot in so it was still sitting on top of a plastic sack on top of an old towel and was not quite as pretty in our living room as it could have been. You got it! This morning: brainstorm! A glass pie plate! hooray!!!
