Shrimp cocktail. Steak and salad. And for dessert, Sauternes.

I'm with you, Lionel, although I'd add a third use: Ritz, smoked oyster, sour cream ..... Ritz, chunky peanut butter, orange marmalade

Nice pics. Thanks, Ellen.

Pot roast..... especially sauerbraten.

At first, I'd try using them as intended. They're pretty sturdy.

These things actually work. You can get a headstart on the tomato season.

Good read. Thanks.
