Another Goo Gone recommendation from me.  I recently bought a piece of vintage Pyrex at an estate sale.  The previous owner had a sticker with her name on the bottom of it and she had actually baked in the dish with it there!  😳

I decided to buy it anyway as I loved it and figured if it did not come off after being baked on, it was on the bottom so it was not really seen.  Well, I let a coating of Goo Gone sit on it for a few hours and I was able to get it off with no residue left behind!

Hope it works as well for you too!

My mouth is watering just looking at your picture.

@Yahooey : Mercy - I thought I was hungry and then I read your post and looked at all that beautiful and yummy food. Licking my lips and tummy growling. I know it was a very special event. 

I know that you really enjoyed the prep and making everything in your beautiful new kitchen and surroundings.❤❤❤❤❤

@Yahooey 

Wowee!  I think you do better than many restaurants rated top of the mark.  I know all your guests enjoyed your hospitality.

You are quite the cook, and a generous entertainer.  

Now that Bee has a new pretty red tablecloth...well, you know what I am thinking.  Too bad we don't all live closer.

Lubs ya!

@cowboy sam @SouthernBee @PamfromCT @4kitties @geezerette 

did ya all notice that the silverware still had individual plastic coverings?

i bought a 8 place setting - unwrapped 2 each of large and small forks - 2 each of large and small spoons

the rest were just put away

so the unwrapping began - kinda like a cafeteria with my beautiful styrofoam plates
