I love Pampered Chef stuff but I've managed to avoid getting hooked so far. I doubt if I'll stay a Pampered Chef virgin my whole life though.

I used to sell the stuff...that's how much I loved it. I don't think I was annoying about it. But, anyway, the two times of the year when those catalogs come out are some of my favorite times. I haven't been buying much lately, 'cause there just isn't anywhere to put it. But, I still love the stuff.

No impending bitter for me. I've got PLENTY of other things about which to be vitriolic.

Well, you DID go to law school...

Part of the reason I don't buy their stoneware cookware is because I KNOW that DH will use soap on it. No matter how many times I tell him not to. I know this because he's ruined three wooden cutting boards and the counter-balanced lid to my $100 stainless steel trash can by putting them in the dishwasher.

He thinks EVERYTHING goes in the dishwasher.

I doubt if I'll stay a Pampered Chef virgin my whole life though.

All it takes is the arrival of a pizza stone.

See above. I don't trust Christopher with the pizza stone. Although my sister has one and I covet it greatly.

I hid mine in the stove. Joe never looked there.

So very, very true. I understand the soap thing, though. I told Emily to just leave the stones for me when she does dishes. Finally she asked why, and she's really good with them now. But, mostly, she leaves them for me.

I really like my pizza pan with the perforated bottom. It makes for a good crisp on the outside, soft on the inside crust.

Of course, it's not like I ever do dishes, so it wasn't too big a deal. Not to mention, those things are heavy. Washing them is hard work!

Holy Hannah. I just got an invitation to a wedding September 17. Argh.

September 17.

That's the bestest day evah.
