Another chance to get to know more people here in the Village. There's a 'Welcome' Morning Tea in the clubhouse, and I'm going. Sadly, (probably secretly thrilled), Stew cannot attend.
I doubt it would be his 'cuppa tea' anyway. Sitting around yakking with a bunch of old biddys. Though, he'd probably enjoy the food.
After morning tea, I am going to have a swim, followed by a soak in the hot tub. I've been looking forward to that for a few days now.
QUESTION: I'm thinking of making a few of these for sale on our stall...
So, what do you think? Yes, or No?
They could be used to carry any food, a bowl of salad, basket of fruit, etc etc? I'm still thinking about it...
In the meantime, I've done the housework, showered, washed the hair, put the face on and am about ready for the morning tea.
Well, that was a very nice gathering. And a nice spread on the table. I have taken some to have later on, after WW weigh in.
I wasn't going to WW tonight, as I've gained about a kilo in the past two weeks.
Trying to eat more so my blood sugars don't bottom out, and yeah. Gained weight.
But, I'll persevere, I'll continue what I've always done... YO - YO. 😖😏
I don't look like some old hag who let herself go... YET! lol
NOTE: The eyebrows have settled down enough for me to kinda like them again. Derrr.
I ended up staying in the hot tub for only about 10 minutes, then got too hot. So, while it was nice, I doubt we'll be in it much over summer.
The pool though, should be fine.
Well now I'm totally undecided if I shall make one or two of them, or none!
I'm thinking... I'll continue being undecided for now! lol
It is raining, and the gardens look FABULOUS!
All the rocks look so nice WET.
I've done two loads of washing this afternoon, one is already in the drier, and the second (Stew's shirts) will go on a rack.
Boring information eh?
But seriously, I'm being quite lazy. Just watching True Crime on the telly. I love those sorts of programmes.
7.33 pm, and I'm semi happy to report a GAIN of .500grams. That is less than I was expecting.
Stew and I are now at Fergus for a nice dinner.
Now, time to just relax for the remainder of the evening.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Hey Chris, I’m a no on casserole carrier, not just being a negative Nancy, just who takes casseroles to anywhere these days. If I’m asked to bring something, it’s usually a salad, a dessert, a cake etc and this type of carrier is impractical. Marie, Melbourne
ReplyDeleteI also think that would be a limited use item, translating to limited sales.
ReplyDeleteI
Zippered bags/ pouches. Quick and easy variety.
ReplyDeleteDefinately a yes on the carriers.
ReplyDeleteI take casseroles regularly, but I would not want to store the carrier.
ReplyDeleteI put aluminum foil over top, wrap in a very large beach towel and put in a box or bin.
Vickie
That's how I carry my casseroles as well, Vicki.
DeleteI do like the casserole carrier you shared, Chris. They are so colorful I could hang it on a kitchen wall while not using. Maybe. ;-). Ky Girl
You could make one and see if it sells.
ReplyDeleteVickie
I think anything is worth a try. You only need to make a couple to see how they go. They can be used for salads or sweets as well as casseroles
ReplyDeleteI have a round one, bought form a party planner thingy - maybe Elmon linen, I think I have used it 2 times in 30 years hahahahah
ReplyDeleteMargaret
DeleteIt's a no from me as well. I remember these sorts of things being used back in the 80s but times change. Yes, maybe make one and see how it sells like Vickie said or go back to the drawing board for other ideas? Sorry, not trying to be negative.
ReplyDeletePersonally, no to the casserole carrier but as Vickie suggested make one or two and see how they sell
ReplyDeleteI have one of your round ones and although I don't use it often when I do I am always very grateful I have it. I like the idea of the rectangle cos I think more people use that shape than round. As Vickie said, make a couple and see. You can always gift them if they don't sell!
ReplyDeleteI'm a yes on the carriers, at least as a trial, and I don't even eat or make casseroles! I can see it being handy for quiche, cupcakes, sandwiches, cake, all the sorts of things I take to pot luck situations.
ReplyDeleteI’m a yes cake slices lasagne anything square rectangular also those bags you used to make the quick into bags drawstring ( I forget the configuration)
ReplyDeleteEating more regularly shouldn’t necessarily make you gain weight, there are so many low calorie, healthy options to help you regulate your sugar lows. Choosing less carbs is crucial when you are diabetic so your blood glucose levels remain steady. I’d imagine that you would know all the science around eating as a diabetic though with Stew having managed his diabetes for such a long time. So many great resources online from experts in the diabetes field.
ReplyDeleteI like the casserole carrier concept but I'm more likely to take a platter/tray to an event so maybe consider finding a couple of cheap plain platter dishes and making the carrier to fit then selling as a set ... ideal then for bring a plate events especially when juggling carrying other items or trying to manage little kids. As someone who moves on crutches these daysI think it would be helpful to have when I gave to bring a plate to something 😀.
ReplyDeleteMake a couple, if they don't sell at your usual markets, they might sell at your village market. The residents might like them to carry meals to other houses when they have parties, dinners etc
ReplyDeleteIf you want to make one, make two. Different colors, etc... Nothing ever sells if it's the only one. People need a choice.
ReplyDeleteI think yes for the carrier. Would you have a wipeable inner? That would be handy. Id buy one 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteI'm a yes for the carrier I was always looking for something to carry casseroles to mum and dad when I cooked for them and a towel although keeping food hot I always worried about it slipping out and crash in the car or just spilling I spilt the gravy once in my travel mug what a bloody mess that made.
ReplyDeleteThose casserole carriers are a terrific idea. We are always taking baking dishes and such full of food down to the kids. I'll have to look for mine on Temu lol
ReplyDeleteI am a "yes" for the carrier, I made myself one and use often to my monthly potluck dinners. Make a couple or three, you never know it might be a hit at your stall.
ReplyDeleteI like the casserole carrier. I often bring casseroles of some sort when we decide to have a buffet. Maybe make one or two just to see how they're received.
