While in Jackson getting my allergy shots last Monday, I was planning to go get some lunch. But, when I saw a Bed, Bath, and Beyond with 3 cars in the parking lot, I just could not resist. I masked up, sanitized my hands, and went in a "non-essential" store for only the second time since March. The other time was to Michael's to get flowers for the graves of my in-laws and a couple of dear friends.
I went in to search for a new doormat and a larger insulated tumbler. Indeed, I did come out with those. But, I was drawn to this gorgeous set of mixing bowls. I have mixing bowls that I received as a wedding gift almost 37 years ago. They are the old open style with almost no rims. The kind where food goes flying if you turn your mixer up too high. And they would qualify for the "bent and dent" store easily.
Since the pandemic began, I have been doing a LOT more cooking. My high-risk hubby and my high-risk self have not eaten in a restaurant since March. We do get some take out, but mostly it has been Karen in the kitchen. I don't see an end in sight to that situation in the foreseeable future. So...
I bit for the new mixing bowls. These are deep, have a rim that makes them much easier to hold on to, and LIDS! What's not to love? I succumbed to their shiny siren song. I have no regrets.
I think my brownie recipe wants to meet my new mixing bowls. It's time to introduce them to each other. To paraphrase Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina "Chocolate is always a good idea."
