Because of a good yard sale find, I now have two sets of nesting glass mixing bowls, all the way down to a "pinch" size that holds probably 2 tsp!<br /><br />Okay that was long.<br /><br />Enjoyed catching up here today. :-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759532237777191430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-10872692788418968822011-09-13T17:50:25.205-04:002011-09-13T17:50:25.205-04:00Another thing small dishes like these are good for...Another thing small dishes like these are good for (or perhaps they do have to be Pyrex?), is making single servings of flan. Drip the sugar goo into the bottom of each. Pour in the egg/milk part. Set them in a baking pan filled up half way with water and bake. Then slip a knife around the edge and flip it onto a plate--it's like a restaurant. (OK, maybe it cools somewhere in there too)Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-52660604062701183382011-09-13T17:14:10.130-04:002011-09-13T17:14:10.130-04:00Hmmmm....I've never thought to check the house...Hmmmm....I've never thought to check the housewares section of the hardware store!
