Holy Mackerel, Sapphire!

This is the BEST single pan you will ever buy. I adore mine!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...utlet&n=548166



List price $85, on sale for $17.99.

This is a buy. I wish I had a reason to buy 6.

(I think I have time to buy a griddle before I get the kids dressed, though.)

You are in deep trouble Margaret.

I am now $61 poorer and have several new Calphalon items on their way to me for Chip to destroy.

Fortunately I was able to resist the freebie that's being offered. Farberware 3 piece skillet set ($29.99 value) with a $99 purchase of Kitchenware. Look for the link and details when you fill your cart with eligible items.

I added them to my cart and dutifully removed them and the other items that had me well over the $99 minimum. That was a close call.

Can you say "buyer's remorse?"

What business does someone who doesn't cook much have ordering a Calphalon 11" square griddle when she already owns a Calphalon 13" round griddle?

I went back to delete that one item.

The Calphalon baking set and he crepe/omelet pan are still on their way.

At least it'll only set me back $43

You have no idea.

To quote our doorman, who had to unload the car after Hy went on a little shopping expedition to Costco: You're not going to let him go shopping by himself again, are you?

He has a particular weakness for cookware bargains.

Did I mention the time he bought two nine-piece sets of AllClad from cooking.com for some amazingly low price?

Clap!

I am so happy!

Kitchen; @ $18.99 each


1 "Rival 6-Quart Cool Touch Crock-Pot with Removable Pot and Bonus Carry Bag"

Bob got me that crock pot and bag for Christmas a couple of years ago at our local wholesale club. Don't remember what it cost though.

Hey, yeah, you wrote a review of it, didn't you? I remember wanting the carry bag when I read it, I just never got around to buying it.

I FIT into my leather jacket again. :dance:

It b-a-r-e-l-y fit when I got it, and then it apparently shrank directly afterward. I've been trying it on once a week, hangs in the center of my closet, and it fits now.

woo hoo.

Wow!

My Crock Pot got here today.

Get this, the thing is HUGE, 6 quarts. It comes with the free carrying case, yes, but I missed the part where it comes with TWO six quart ceramic removable pots. One of them is divided.

The box was as big as a computer box.

What a deal. I just checked on Amazon, and it is sellling for $49.99 right now. $29.99 and free shipping...what a deal.

My only complaint is that I had to carve out serious storage space for this puppy. I am so happy.
