Hi ladies, well the sales weren't fabulous but I got a few things. At least I got out & was "on the hunt" (LOL) been waiting all winter for them to start. I almost bought 8 brand new, in the box, dark green wine glasses for $4.00 & then changed my mind, was thinking I need water glasses more, I have clear wine glasses, now I'm sorry I didn't buy them! Anyway, found these 5 little clear glass apple shaped dishes, they each have a different colored leaf, very pale but it's colored. The pictures make the clear glass look yellowish but they aren't they are clear glass. They were .50 each, then I also found two china latte mugs, brand new for .50, I need them on the boat, but will put a pic here anyway. That is all I got today, saw a lot of candle holders but nothing that struck me, there is a whole summer ahead for hunting more things. I thought maybe voties in these apple dishes in a table setting? Any other ideas?

Dawn Power Dissolver is a wonderful product for getting the outside sticky and brown carmelized grease from small cooking appliances. I also use this product for cutting grease on OLD Tupperware. Some of those old great Tupperware storage containers show up at garage sales or thrift stores - when folks get tired of sticky stuff. I buy them for nothing, and quickly restore them to a good life!

i do get to use this in our studio quite a bit, and installed it live specifically to do sales training. Gaggenau does not have a problem with their downdraft being used on the fryer, so i don't see much issue there, as it will help keep odors out of the kitchen that way. we like the performance on it, as it seals the food and keeps the oil content down for tortilla chips, mozz sticks, and tempura vegetables. not the best suggestion, but doughnuts are really good too.

Found the information sheet for FoodSaver Universal Lids and thought it might be helpful. -Grainlady 1. Place your FoodSaver machine on a flat, dry surface and plug the power cord into a standard electric outlet. 2. The universal lid is labeled "Open," "Vacuum," and "Closed." Turn the knob on the universal lid so the arrow points to "Vacuum." 3. Place the UL on the top of the open container. 4. Insert one end of the accessory hose into the accessory port on your FoodSaver machine. 5. Insert the other end of the accessory hose into the hole on the top of the UL. 6. Follow the steps for vacuum packaging as outlined in your User Manual. 7. Turn the knob on the UL so the arrow points to "Closed." How to Open the FoodSaver UL: To open the FoodSaver UL, turn the knob so the arrow points to "Open." You should now be able to remove the UL from the container. Care and Cleaning Instructions: 1. All FoodSaver accessories should be washed in warm water using a mild dishwashing soap. 2. Dry thoroughly before using. Troubleshooting: 1. Make sure that the rim of the container is smooth and flat. Ragged edges will prevent a vacuum from forming. 2. Make sure the rubber gasket underneath the UL and the rim of the container are free from food materials, crumbs, etc. 3. Make sure the knob on the UL is closing and opening properly and that there are no food materials caught inside.
