I have the baker Showme, and it's one of my favorite pieces. It performs beautifully and cleans up like a breeze. I have the oval covered piece as well and between those two pieces, I could pretty much toss everything I have cause I only use the other stuff if I'm making more than can be done in my 2 belleek pieces.

Thanks for the info on the baker. I don't have a dishwasher, so am glad to know this. The one Corning Ware 5 qt. baking dish I use for my 3 hour stew in the oven will always be with me.....that is all I use this for......but maybe they will come out with more of those bakers in future years, and eventually I can get rid of my old ones.

When I received my first 3 piece set of Corning, there was also a twist on handle that came with that.....that was so great to use when cooking on the top of the stove. I will always keep using that as long as I use my Corning...... I love to cook my asparagus in my old Corning on top of the stove.

...people who have no or limited access to authentic Irish goods.

I admire the Irish sweaters from afar. I can't wear wool. Even Merino. It itches me terribly and our season for wool is way too short here. This year we had pretty much no days cold enough for a heavy wool sweater.

I'm Irish and although I don't watch all day, it's nice they have these shows on St Pat's Day. I have picked up a couple of nice jewelry pieces. Wearing a Connemara marble shamrock necklace right now!

I've always thought the Irish sweaters looked nice but I, too, would be hard-pressed to wear any kind of wool. I'm a cotton girl. I'm happy to have ALL everyday type stuff, from clothes to linens and bedding, in all cotton.

Yes. Why would I want a sweater with summer coming?

In some parts of the country it will be sweater weather until July. The last time I checked, you could still put a sweater in a drawer until you want to wear it.

That's what I thought too....guess we're just a couple or rocket scientists!

I usually buy my winter clothes on clearance this time of year - great prices and the stuff doesn't go bad!

With the cold winter we have just had, believe me, I wore my sweaters a lot. I don't wear my Merino wool items directly on my bare skin.....always wear either a crewneck, turtleneck, or mock turtleneck top under it.

When not wearing my Merino wool sweaters, I have a cedar lined cube in my living room that I have had for a long time, and that is where I store mine......keeps the little critters out of my wools.

I don't watch or buy either.
