I Am Totally Excited

I have got to share this...for all of us who bake in this forum; I think you can appreciate this sale I found!

I was in a discount/overstock department store shopping yesterday, and they had received a shipment of very high-end pots and pans.

I purchased 2 new square cake pans, 2 new bread loaf pans, one new baking sheet, and a food chopper all made by Cuisenart (sp?). I also purchased three new baking pans and a muffin pan made by Wilten "Elite." In addition, I found two large heavy-duty stove top pans. And I picked up a cheese shredder and one home decor item...my grand total with tax? $117.00! :o:P

I couldn't believe it. Just one of the Cuisanart pans had a pricetag of $40 from the original store!

I'm just so excited that I can throw out my warped, rusted, permanently stained, el cheapo, Wal-Mart stuff.

That's it. Just sharing my good bargain I stumbled upon.

Happy baking. -Jules B)

I'm still so excited I can hardly stand it...

11 pots/pans and a food chopper made by Cuisanart/Wilton

A cheese/veggie Grater

and general "house decorating junk"

My total was under $100 before tax. The stuff was so heavy, I couldn't lift one of the bags...my hubby had to carry it to the car! :P

Talk about Christmas in July! You ladies are totally right. :D If you would have told me a few years ago when I was in college that I would be this excited over pots and pans...I would have laughed and said, "yeah, right. There's no way."

I've never owned anything this nice before...my hubby and I are on a fairly tight budget...so it's ALWAYS been the Wal-Mart cheapo stuff that warps so easily. Maybe my gluten-free cookies won't "run" down the pan into each other anymore! What a treat! :lol:

Happy 4th! Thanks for sharing in my excitement! -Julie

Congratulations! You done good - I'm impressed! B)

And here I was all excited about actually finding bake ware at WalMart that was Made in USA and not in China! :ph34r:

I like your find better! :lol:

Yep Julie,

Being in the right place at the right time is the key...ironically, I wasn't even in there for cookware! I was looking for kitchen roosters for decorating! :P

Yeaaa Sandi...proudly made in the US of A! Don't get me wrong, Walmart does have some good dishes and cookware. But I've always purchased the "three baking pans for $6.00" kind of stuff...mainly because of our financial situation. I was just blessed to have $100 that I could spend...not that I usually have that kind of money laying around :ph34r:

My hubby was just glad to find out it wasn't $100 worth of kitchen roosters! :D;)

hugs. -Julie

Make sure you watch your Cuisinart stovetop pots & pans mine burned BAD on the bottoms everytime I cooked with them. I ended up frustrated and bought new Belgique ones. B):P

You can also get excellent quality pots & pans @ TJ Maxx or Ross

Be well Lovelies!

You'll enjoy using your new purchases. Having good equipment just makes the job easier.

Morning everyone!

Wonka- "Having good equipment just makes the job easier"- You are sooo right!

Since all of my old pans have warped, my food no longer cooks evenly...and soft baked things

"run" into one another! :rolleyes:

Hello Collette darling-

As always, your wisdom is appreciated. B) I take what the cooking Goddess says

(that would be you Collette) :D very seriously!

Yep, I was in a Ross I think...there are several of those stores located near me. I get them

confused b/c they are in the same plaza. It's discount heaven! :wub:

Many hugs. -Julie

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
