Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yesterday I went Bed Bath and Beyond shopping for, amongst other things, a 3qt nonstick saucepan. Cheapest one I could find (most were in sets) was $80. I see cheaper ones on Overstock (although search/organisation isn't being very helpful) but I'm leery of buying a pot I haven't had a chance to handle.

What's a reasonable price range for that sort of pot?

I did get a great-looking 8" "green" skillet that I'm way too excited about. I need to make omelettes soon.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Target has some for $25, ita--might give you a chance to heft it, see how it feels.

Big Lots also often has nonstick pans at good prices.

Also since you are working, something to consider. If you can find a really good Titantium-ceramic nonstick those thing are reputed to last forever. They stand up to high heat and scratchy implements. I've had normal nonstick pans scratched by beans. Umm but Titantium-ceramic is expensive. Though you might find one at a bargain at after-Christmas sales. "Bargain" for Titantium-Ceramic being the $80 you were considering paying for a normal non-stick.

Thanks, Cashmere. Target.com has lots of good hits. Hopefully the store will have a good selection.

It seems like a really sensible idea for the pans to be further organised by volume. Someone should get on that.

My sister also bought out half of H&M. I managed a waistcoat and a shirt. I want more waistcoats. I used to have a big jones for them back in my drag-wearing days, but do appreciate now that ones cut for a girl will work much better.

eta: NSM on the titanium < $100.

I love TJMaxx for one-off pots and pans stock. But it varies really widely in current availability. But I started building my All-Clad collection that way.

sara's post made me tired too.

I barely did anything today (San Diego Zoo, Portos right at closing, train store, folding 4 loads of laundry) but I am SPENT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Zoo sounds like a full day all by itself! Sheesh.

I just threw out a bunch of pictures, which feels weird.

All I did was go to Target and eat a lot of crap.

I still haven't cleaned off my table, which is a complete disaster. But not tonight.
