I got into trouble with Maddie a few months ago because I bought some vanilla that was not McCormick brand—she saw it and was indignant about the fact that I was disrespecting her childhood by replacing it with something other than a red cap. (For the record, my childhood vanilla came from a ginormous, vaguely exotic, seemingly bottomless bottle straight from Mexico via my Aunt Dee Dee, but I digress). It's funny, the things that stop us in our tracks, yes?
So when Bridget and I were in guerilla-shopping mode at Target recently and I saw these Vintage Charm bowls, I screeched the cart to a halt like a cartoon character.
MY CHILDHOOD!
(back me up on this, Mama)
Important note: This is NOT actual Pyrex, even though it was on an endcap with Pyrex things and tries to fool you into thinking it's Pyrex... it's only "inspired by" Pyrex. But it's a cool counterfeit.
ETA: Here's the real thing. Definitely cooler.
I got two. Even though we're moving, and we're on a strict possession-reduction regime once again. Because, sometimes you just have to respect your childhood.
(And yes, next time I buy vanilla it will be McCormick)
