I think all of my 13x9’s are from 10-15 years ago. The cup is from at least twenty years ago. I will now be afraid of my Pyrex.

My glass baking pans are Anchor and not Pyrex. They are working fine for me.

I found an article about the Pyrex glass. Well worth the read and at the end it even suggests how to find good glass. https://gizmodo.com/the-pyrex-glass-controversy-that-just-wont-die-1833040962

Does anyone have excess bread, and if you do, what do you do with it? There is only one of me and I just can't eat but so much bread.

Well I suppose you could STOP making bread until you actually need some more
I generally make 1 loaf of KA basic sourdough a week. I leave enough out for a couple of sandwiches and French Toast (the NOT bread pudding kind!) and freeze the rest presliced.

When we moved here, we gave up counter and cabinet space and it looks like we need to downsize some more.

You could add on to the house and double the size of the kitchen. I'm sure Bob would love to recreate the kitchen at the prior house.

What is a Keurig?

See below ( I sure miss being able to nest comments!!!!!!)

a single serve coffee maker using prepackaged pods of coffee

Which is pretty much the most expensive coffee you can make given the price of the machine. The "value" is if you want to make different flavors. Since each "pod" is 1 cup of "something" you can have all your favorite flavors at hand without having to buy a pound of each and end up with "stale" coffee. You can also make hot chocolate or tea. (I know this is NOT a proper cup of tea!!)

I sometimes make overnight French toast, which is pretty much the same thing as bread pudding.

So basically soggy bread!

Use a metal bowl to melt chocolate on the stove sitting on pot with water

Essentially a double boiler without having to buy a special/extra pan.

I have a 1, 2 &4 cup pyrex love them too. They seem like the old ones. They say 100th anniversary on them.

I have those sizes as well. I don't know when the dividing line/time is between old and new but I've had these over 40 years.

You can still do nested quotes. You have to turn on BB code to do it. Remember to turn off BB code when you are done because it messes with other things.

Not basically soggy bread! The bread puffs up, top with some butter and cinnamon sugar, and bake. When I have company, it makes for an easier breakfast since it bakes while the bacon and eggs are cooking. I don't do much baking in the summer since I have a small house with no central a/c. So, when winter comes, I tend to get carried away with baking bread. As good an excuse for turning on the oven as any. That and overnight French toast

I would so love to have that kitchen back, a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that place.

It did sound like a nice place to cook!

I have a "Watkin's Cookbook" from the early 1940s and the recipe is it. I have been making this recipe since I was old enough to cook.

Well that explains it. Our cook book was Betty Crocker.

We have cook books older than any of us.. None of my Pyrex has shattered ever I do think the 4 cup is older than the 2 cup ones .. Ya well grandma had a double boiler I did not get it so improvise .. had two sets of milk glass bowls had to hunt through thrift stores to find a new old one of the largest size.. Ween the original broke it tapped the porcelain sink and shattered.
