Thanks Teppy. Our coop has a brand of vegan not-chicken broth that tastes awful. I'll try this one. I have to cook for vegetarians and vegans on occasion and have given up using broth - just use salt. But there is a lot of stuff where something that tastes like chicken soup would be very handy.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Typo, I bet you can find it in a larger grocery store, and I know Whole Foods carries it. It's spooky how similar it tastes.
I've also found that a lot of recipes that call for chicken broth can be replaced with veggie broth. Obviously if you're going for a chicken taste, that won't work, but in a lot of recipes, the swap is easy (pot pie, for one).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was checking for butter dishes (I really like butter dishes--I don't know what's up with that) on bedbathandbeyond.com, and I see that Fiesta Ware butter dishes are over $20. What's the deal with Fiesta Ware?
I'm watching Iron Man. I am so psyched for The Avengers, and not for the crazy reasons Dana is. OMG, Agent Coulson. OMG, alla y'all. Bring it on.

It's collectible. It's pretty, and useable, and the vintage folks like it because they made it in the 50s from the 30s to the 70s, and then stopped making it, and now it's come round again.
I've got a bunch of modern Fiesta ware that an online friend gave me, and I'd love to add to it, but yeah, it's not cheap, even the modern stuff. Love the colors, though.

Somewhat ironically, I suppose, that really means sellable. The high point isn't the keeping part of the collecting--they're not collectibles without a resale value.
The colours are very pretty. But my platonic butter dish is nice and cheap. I don't need much more than this, but the thing is, I want five of them.

I don't get it, why do you need five butter dishes? They're not like plates or bowls, where you might actually be using more than one at a time...

This is me and carafes or pitchers. I would be a creepy hoarder given money, storage and opportunity. Mmmmm, glass containers for beverages.

I could have different butters...
But mostly I just really like their form and enjoy looking at them. Having my eyes slide from dish to dish is very pleasing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Pitchers. Specifically, white cream pitchers.

My mom had a lot of high windows in her last house. So she collected colored glass jugs and pitchers. They were very pretty when the sun shined through them.
