....and the stuff I got in (the state of) Connecticut.
I am a sucker for stainless steel. Don't people realize one can douse greasy SS with oven clenaer (sodium hydroxide => "LYE") and the grease saponifies and melts right off?
Here is a BEFORE pic...

These items have not yet been scrubbed. The grease, as promised fell right off.
ALll I have to do is scrub with cleanser and a steel-wool soap pad, wash, rinse and reattach handles and lid-knob to the 3qt/3L pot and voila.... like new!

LOL and at GadgetBoy's insistence, I am posting this:
Here is a little trinket I bought for my next excursion to Provincetown, Massachusetts.
No it is not a one-piece swimsuit; it's a purse with sequins!

FEH! I was prepared for anything. I'm sure I have been called far worse things by far better people than anything he could have possbly been thinking.
Snaps finger three times above head in a waving motion...
Honey, I'm more of a man than you can handle (adjusts crotch), and more of a woman (flips hair) than she'll ever be (points to most femme girl in room).
As the hooker said to the john, (tilts head wildly back and forth and points to watch) your time is up mutha- F. I"m through with you NEXT! LOL
He was fine. He lived!

Fabulous slippers! Plus, they do go with that purse so long as you can pull off the black & white motif. Here's betting you can do it Toggles
What a drag!
Missy is sure gonna try!

Nice Mr. Coffee. Almost any home you went into in the latter 70's had that coffeemaker. We had one and the water container was handy for so many things. Hard to find now for sure and I'm amazed you got the funnel for hot water dispensing too.
Toogle's darling
My Co-Co bag is lonely, please send me those slippers when you through......

We Geisha girls do not tell, for big feets shame the whole community!
You think SHE was a pack rat?
Well get this....
You should see the before (and after) pictures of the house I have under contract right now...I have taken over 70 pictures of this house, with all the clutter. A woman actually lived in this filth. Picture of living room below.
See that little silver gem in the middle of the room?
I didn't get it. The clutter has been cleaned out now.
It was the worst house I have ever seen during my home buying searches...
I hope it loads correctly and isn't too big. If so, apologies.
