Isn't it funny what things you find yourself coveting when you visit others? For example, on our recent jaunt to Rhode Island, I found myself quite envious of the amount of Tupperware my SIL owns. Like, she has more than one cool container that is made to hold half an onion or tomato, or any bulbous object for that matter. I mean, all I gots is the standard Ziploc set, which I replace every year or so for a whoppin' $6.99. But now I feel like I must expand my collection. And start eating tomatoes.
Also, she and my BIL had an impressive command on breakfast foods. In our short time there, they made us french toast, eggs benedict, crepes and aebleskivers (a real word, though I wasn't totally convinced until I googled it this morning after Cichelli mentioned it yesterday). They're round pancakes, which are made in a special pan - which THEY OWN! I mean, c'mon! How is a girl supposed to keep up?
I can only imagine the cool Tupperware container they put their 'skivers in.

thank you, thank you, thank you for the lil miss dub pictures! just what i've been craving!
Yes, I liked your treatise on plastic and all but you had me at the pics.
Ok ... and the pancakes.
Those pictures are extremely adorable.
My sister is similar, only her kitchen forte is an amazing array of Cutco knives, which she sold in college to enhance her own collection. There is nothing like a good sharp knife for cutting culinary stuff.
Adorable pics of Miss Dub and the cuzs. I guess the lid doesn't fall far from the bowl, because, as you know, I would set my table, stack my shelves, and load my fridge in nothing but Tupperware given my preference. You can't snap the lid or get a "whoosh" when you use fine china. Plastic really was the future Ben Braddock--bad in most cases, but good in food storage. Glad and Rubbermaid and others will probably put it out of business, but there's nothing like Tupperware. Apparently there's nothing like breakfast in Rhode Island, either, I am most jealous of that experience.
fun super cute lil' miss dub. look at her thinking she's a toddler!
I love me some good breakfast eatin! I have never had skivers' but enjoy fried pork chops potatoes and cream gravy for breakfast and thats probably not common. I dont think very people think about the range of pork products appropriate for the A.M. but the options are limitless!
you and miss dub look darling too!
I love breakfast and tupperware. I think I would love your BIL & SIL.
Looks like you had a fun trip.
Holiday love.
Sounds like my Mom. When my Dad built their home she shopped for months for cabinets large enough to hold her entire tupperware collection. As it stands now, an addition was built on to the kitchen for the larger ones. (I'm kidding, but she does house all her tupperware in the storage room off the kitchen)
I can vouch for the vast array of Tupperware that was on display in R to the I. She even had Tupperware to keep her Tupperware fresh. They even had a job on their family "job chart" for someone to "burp" said Tupperware daily. Weird? Yes. But a critical assignment if one is going to properly employ so many containers in one household.
You can get a aebelskiver pan at Target. Perhaps that will help the envy subside a little.
By the way the pictures of your little girl make me want to have a little girl. She is darling.
I too, was a "take & throw" type of gal until I attended a Tupperware party last month...Tupperware Party... makes me think of Edward Scissorhands/1950's suburbia or Napolean Dynamite... Either way, they have some really neat things. It's not your mom's yellow, orange and brown Tupperware anymore. I'm a changed woman.
My parents vacationed in RI this summer and said it was amazing, esp. the Vanderbilt Mansion. Looks beautiful.
You're supposed to be promoting Usborne Books which I currently sell. Not Tupperware which I previously sold. OR my collection of mansions. Which I store conveniently on the coast in Newport...
Abilskievers are the BEST and you can get pans from Williams & Sonoma, which my mom gifts to all her daughters and daughter-in-laws on their first married Christmases.
I'm jealous of SILs collection and I haven't even seen it.
