Pyrex Bowls with Handle P-150-B or V-150-B

Pyrex bowls with handle. These are fantastic. They are the perfect size for meal prep and can go directly from the fridge/freezer to the oven or microwave. You can get lids for them too but they are getting hard to find. The V model is the clear Visions line and the P model is the white one.

Pyrex later branded this as the GRAB IT bowl. Same thing...cheaper logo.

There are fakes out there too. Make sure it says Pyrex on the underside of the handle or you probably have a piece of dumb garbage. They made them with a few different patterns on them and even made one for Corning Ware that has the blue corn flower logo. The one shown has a glass lid. I have only ever had one of those. THe plastic lids are better but both are hard to find.

This stuff is very durable and can be dropped on a hard surface and not break or chip Pyrex was developed by NASA (from what i read) to be used on rockets and used on the shuttle nose cones to survive re-entry. I guess if it is good enough for that, it is good enough for my soup.

These were huge in the 80s or maybe I just think they were because i used to eat out of them all the time. Still do.

Harbor Freight Drummond 110v Transfer Pump

This little pump is the best investment i have made in a long time. Harbor Freight sells these little 120v transfer pumps for about $65. They can be had for less than $50 using a coupon. I think tehy claim they can move 300+ GPH. They claim they are not for dirty water but seems to do just fine with leaves and grass clippings etc.. The come complete with a short length of standard garden hose for the inlet side and also has a nice surface fitting to suck water off the surface of something like a concrete floor. Very handy and in my experience will suck water down to ~1/8 deep. I picked mine up on a whim from HF more than a year ago as i was having some flooding issues in the yard in the spring. The low spots filled with water and with the ground still frozen there was no place for the water to go. Fearing it would continue to fill up and i would have issues with water getting into the house i grabbed this. I have used mine nonstop for hours and hours. I have run it in freezing c...

Stanley Insulated Coffee Mug

This thing is fantastic. I believe it comes in 3 different sizes. I am a bit of a thermos connoisseur meaning i have a lot of them. Everything from vintage ones to food jars to mugs like this. In my opinion this is WAY better than Kleen Kanteen or Hydroflask (Yes i have both). Those appear to be more of a fad. IF you want something that works well, get this Stanley. i have the 16oz version. It keep stuff hot for a very long time; Same with cold. I think they run ~$20 and you can get them at Amazon or locally at Walmart. I wont go into that because nobody cares. Pour your liquid into it and then drink it. If you are pouring your liquid into it to let it sit for a week and then complain when it isnt still the same temperature, you are kind of an idiot. The pictured lid style is now harder to find but i believe it looks and works better than the latest model. Yes i have both. The current model is also very very good and would be my second choice and it is ...
