Hey, you can't quit yet! Not until the 1st of November... I love those glasses!! I normally don't have time for stuff like that, but I might be able to handle the bloody ones. There's a glass painting artist around here who's quite reasonable though, and I'm considering buying some stemware from her one of these days. Dishwasher safe, since she bakes the decorations on in the oven... Yours are wonderful though, and the blood goes great with the webs! :-)

I see the comments are old from 2013. I'm going to comment anyways. It might help someone. I've had many glasses break in the dish washer. They were thin glasses and it seems like glasses get brittle over time putting them in the dish washer. I have 3 blue thin glasses out of a set of 8 and 2 glasses left out of my other thin set. I bought a set of heavy clear glasses,they have kind of a square pattern on . I think they were from target. Haven't had problems with those so far and have had them for about 20 years! Seriously! I would say what they are called but i don't remember, but im pretty sure you can still get them. If you see them at Target give them a try. And no I'm not getting paid or getting anything for saying this about the glasses.

Good morning everyone, Just a quick report on last evening. The wine club gathering was wonderful! It was truly a fun evening (until the rains came!) But even that didn't dampen the enthusiasm. We played a wine trivia game and the platter went to the one who got the most questions right & the wine glass went to the one who got the least right. It was really fun! Everyone was really impressed with the gifts and one lady asked if she could order a set of 12! I was so busy that I forgot to get a picture of the winners! The wine club is just a group of ladies that get together once a month at someone's house. Everyone brings a bottle of wine and an hor d'oeuvre and we sit around a table and have fun! Very informal. It was at my home last night and we toured the gardens first. I think everyone had a good time. Now I get to keep all the wine bottles & there were some really nifty looking bottles! What will I make? Becky

" I just wish induction stoves were not so expensive" You have a lot of company on that point. But speaking of expensive, it seems to me that "fast" gas stoves are getting up there in price, too, if you are talking about the "speed-to-boil" kind of fast. The other kind of fast is "speed-to-adjust" which is how quickly a change in settings takes effect. Full boil to dead still and back again, that kind of thing. Induction more than holds it own in that department. Seems to me that speed to boil with a boosted 3700 watt burner versus a 25,000 btu burner on, say, Blue Star stove, you are looking at $3500-plus pro-style gas stove compared to which a $1500 Frigidaire slide-in suddenly does not seem so expensive. Less expensively, you might be comparing that 3700 induction burner on boost to a 12,000 btu GE stove burner, induction is going to be a whole lot faster, as others have pointed out above. Got a two-year-old who wants her pasta right now? The induction range is going to blow the doors off the GE in that speed department.
