Now that I have fed

selenite the meal, I can post about the kitchen store.

Yesterday after giving

fordprfct a ride to and from the dentist, he agreed to show me the kitchen stuff store he knew of in Arlington, since I was hunting for "butcherblock oil" to season the new wooden dough bowl my parents gave me for our anniversary present this year.

Well, it was a wonderful marvelous place. I could have happily wandered it much longer, but stopped after a bit to preserve them from my kids and to preserve my budget from them.

Ooooh. The cast iron section was impressive. But OOOOOOH, the cake pan section! You may remember my castle cake. Well, these guys had EVERYTHING. The castle cake pan, the big rose, the set of little roses (covet covet covet for Maggie Rose), a daisy, a set of several flowers, a flower-basket one, an easter egg pan, a carousel pan, little hearts, hearts all frilled, a big basketweave heart one (OOOH!), a christmas tree one, a cathedral one... oh oh oh I wanted them SO much!

What I actually bought:

The aforementioned butcherblock oil. Now I just have to go through that box again trying to find the directions so I know what to do with it.
A two-part meatloaf pan, so the grease drains out, and I can make good meatloaf for selenite, who likes it.
A meat thermometer, for when I get the time to thaw out the turkey breast in the freezer, Real Soon Now,
A set of corn skewers, and
a pair of glass corn-in-the-cob buttering dishes, because selenite loves corn so.

So tonight for dinner we had meatloaf and corn on the cob. And thanks to

fordprfct for taking me to such a marvelous store.
