… Please do not throw away Nana’s crockery. Some of that shit is valuable.
Also, use a wet wipe and turn the net curtains into tights you can wear while he rails he. Nana’s generation was frugal, she will approve.
This comment made my life better than the post made it worse. Thank you for bringing a significant net positive into the world.
Lmao. Thank you.
People will pay crazy money for old Pyrex stuff. I saw a bowl my grandma had growing up in a thrift store (it was brown and had mushrooms on it) and they wanted $75 for it
So yeah, don’t throw away anything in grandma’s pantry. Sell it and blow the money on ketamine and plan b
My parents (and grandparents) sold antiques, traveled and did the flea market circuit. That brown bowl with the mushrooms, was it this one?
We sold a ton of those.
lol yup! That’s the one
Holy fuck I have one of those somewhere.
The old pyrex, cookware in general, is actually pretty valuable today. I mean, you’re not gonna buy a home off the sale of Nana’s favorites pans, but you could make a little bit of scratch.
Nah i don’t sell that stuff, i use it. Matching set of frying pans and a dutch oven from the 1920s from grandmas estate, none of my family or cousins are really into cooking, grabbed them when they put the house up for sale. Just recently scored the matching trivet for the dutch oven off ebay. I gather they’re worth about a grand altogether.
Oh that’s awesome! I collected cast iron a few years back, but everything is in storage.
What a terrible day to be literate
It was so offensively british my small american brain started to slightly melt.
Ladpoles? Oh my.
How to unrealise?
Was just about to comment that I don’t get it when it dawned on me. Yeeesh
that’s a new one for the dictionary
What the fuck did I just read and how do I get what you’re smoking?
Ladpoles
Oh my
“Ladpoles” is an utter stroke of je ne sais quoi.
Oh I can answer that, usually that happens with a stroke of the penis
sorry I don’t speak german
Yeah, I don’t know what that is either.
Hmmm… Think tadpoles that came out the laddie.
Ladpoles? Oh
My girlfriend (now wife) and I moved into my late grandparents’ former house after high school. Even slept in the bed that was never taken out of it.
Yeah, it was a little weird on occasion having sex in that bed if you took a second to think about it. Wasn’t difficult to get over it though.
At this point all my dead relatives saw me go through my teenage years anyway. Nothing should shock them anymore lol
It wasn’t even a ‘they’re looking down on me and disapproving’ thing, it was just kind of weird to fuck in my grandparents’ bed.
Right? All the times I [never revealing this to another living soul], they sure wish they weren’t watching…
This really messed me up when I was a kid. Fucking religious upbringing.
Fuck. I went to CostCo with my mom today, and she bought a pack of refried beans.
When we were ringing up our stuff, she picks up her pack of beans and goes “Oh, my fart box!”
What a time to have read this meme.
Even the SO knew this one was you 😂
Also “ladpoles” 😂😂😂
It took me three tries to parse that, but once I got it it cracked me up.
But throwing away her crockery‽ That’s a shame, and something she’ll regret one day.
Oh my God right?!?! You know what I have learned since becoming an adult?
Throw away all the shit new bakeware and go find the oldest shit that doesn’t have lead in it and make people jealous with how much nicer it is to clean and use. Ceramic and steel, all the way.
that doesn’t have lead in it
Being absolutely certain it does not is why all my cookware is new. And expensive. And ugly. 😢
It does not need to be those things. Cast iron and steel are not always expensive. Can be bought used pretty safely and is very nice to look at if you are ok with the all metal look, or willing to pay more for enameled.
Don’t every bother with the “pretty” looking cookware, even if it’s premium pretty cause that stuff is universally worse to cook with. I make bread in a Pullman Pan cause it’s a classic.
Besides that avoid shades of yellow and red in ceramics, don’t used cracked or scratched, and trust the names that are known not some, “granny made it herself” looking stuff. Oh and lead testing kits are cheap and I already had them for the paint on my stairs.
I’m still baking and cooking with some stuff my grandmas gave me around the time I started college, and I have some crockery my dad offered me before throwing it out that he got from grandma.
I mean, sure. It’s not to my taste, which tends to a more mid-century minimalism, and my grandparents apparently liked riots of color and floral motifs. But I’m absolutely certain that eventually that style will come back around and some descendant is going to be really grateful that we held on to this stuff. As long as I don’t break it, it’ll last for generations.
Yeah I got lucky in that I got all muted browns and natural colors which works well with my cottage witch vibe I got going.
But you absolutely know the gaudy stuff is gonna come back around when it’s cool to show how original the crockery is.
Good luck not breaking it though! Invest in the foam sheets for separating pieces too!
That was a good period; I got a couple of “earthy” pieces, which are my favorites.
A while back, we bought some china storage things for a move - they’re these fabric cylinders that zip closed - and they came with some sort of nylon separator disks. They’ve turned out to be fantastic for storage of the things we use less, and we use those cheap-ass separators everywhere except the day-to-day flatware. What luck! I’d have not come up with the idea myself.
Did you inherit any favorite pieces? We got a full china set with silver chasing; Mikasa, so I don’t think it’s particularly antique, and although we almost never use it I absolutely love the coffee set. The cup shapes are simple bowls with handles, and the silverwork is subtle and elegant. They’re a joy to look at; if we entertained, I’d have them out all the time.
I’m that predictable? Lol
YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GODS
Gran doesn’t care about Ja Boi’s cum-stained curtains; shes judging you for the shit you left in the toilet bowl. DISGUSTANG!
When was the last time you talked to your the rapist?
what are you on about?
I think he meant “therapist”
Oh lol. I totally did. I am gonna leave it.
ooooooh yeah that makes more sense
People really shouldn’t skip meetings with their psycho the rapist.
