Good morning and Happy Friday! I’ll tell you now, this post is late, and it’s not because I haven’t been working on it for the last hour. Let’s just say on the 7th day of Bingo, the casserole dish won. I’ll explain at the end of the post so that you can be safe this baking season!

FRIDAY’S BLOG ROLL…
I’m so happy to hear that everyone is enjoying the blog roll. It’s so fun to visit with our quilting friends all over the world. Lately I’ve been following a whole bunch of crafty, DIY, and home decor blogs. I’m “wowed” everyday!
Okay, so I know you’re all wondering how the casserole dish won.
Well, Wednesday I had one of "those" days, and by 8 a.m. yesterday morning, I just knew it would be a "rinse and repeat." I've been rushing around trying to get too many things done, like the rest of the world. I was making dinner, went to pull the casserole dish out of the cabinet, and the handle broke in my hand. It's stoneware, and I really didn't want the whole thing coming down on my foot, so I was trying to support the broken handle and the dish with my right hand, while making sure that all the other pieces that were stacked in the dish stayed in the cabinet.
Well, the dish got the better of me and took a nice chunk of skin about 1/8th" x 1/2" off the inside of my palm, right where the thumb rests ... and yes, it's my right hand … and yes, I’m right handed. I'm telling you what, it hurt 100 xs more than when I sliced my finger with the rotary earlier this year. It didn't finally stop bleeding until I went to bed, because, of course, I had a couple of school gifts for to finish for my little guy.
So ... if you have the larger casserole dish in this set, be very careful. It's the Giada deLaurentis bakeware set from Target. Funny thing is, I was already being cautious about it when I started pulling it out, because Wednesday I saw two of them sitting in the clearance rack with broken handles at Target. So, I suppose a nice letter to Giada and to Target are in order. Too bad ... I really love the dish. I'm going to have hubby break off the other handle and sand down the edges. Suppose I’ll need to make a quilted casserole carrier for it … with fabric handles that won’t cut my hand open.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 276 of 276I hope you heal quickly. This is an awful time of year to be injured. I got three words yesterday and two today. 12 more to go. Take care and God bless, Cory
Holy cow, Jan Dee got SIX words today. I'm so jealous!! I have no idea how many words I got today. I'm out of town, had to pull into a Starbucks to use the Wi-Fi, went to pull my words out of my purse and left the darn words at home. So I can't make a sentence with the words I got because I'm not sure of which words I've picked. Darn! But anyway, I'm proud of Jan Dee. But disappointed, because I don't even think I have six words total!!! This is such fun. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
Okay, either I'm losing my mind or this is the SECOND time you've called a word that's been called before. The first time was on Wednesday, when you called North Pole for the second time, and today you called Trumpet for the second time. Just wondering what's going on. Out of 60 words called I have JUST FOUR (4) of them. *SIGH*.

And if I should be so lucky today, may I please have the B&W set? :)
Back on track...one word today after a few days with none :oD
Hope you're hand is feeling better soon.
One word for me... the smelly present kind :)
WooHoo, I'm back in the game. I have a total of 6 words. I printed my list just in case my computer goes out again.

aww no words again today
Sorry to hear about your hand.
I hope you recover quickly.

I was beginning to think I have a different list but finally got another word - that makes four all together.
Wow! Sorry to hear that you cut yourself. Take care! One more word today - chocolate:)
That's a shame abt your hand. DEF a quick email to target!! Feel better!! Suzy

Have a Great Weekend Everyone.
NO words today on Day 8, but I'm still feeling great!
I love to sit by the fireplace and watch the flames.
No words today...
I'm just wondering why there was the word 'trumpet' today as well as yesterday...
Three for me today!
Sorry to hear about your tussle with the casserole dish!
One word today for a grand total of four:) My word choosing skills have a lot to be desired.
Had one of the words today, even with the bonus ones.

Total of 10 words so far. Today I used the FIREPLACE when I made cookies for the COOKIE EXCHANGE.
Hope everyone is having fun, I know I am. Merry Christmas Everyone!
We had trumpet two days in a row, but after reading about your hand, I forgive you. Hope you heal soon.
OUCH on the casserole dish. I'd for sure write that letter and not touch the other handle yet until you hear back from them. As it stands now they may replace it for you and ask you to return that to them so they can test to see what might have happened. It sure can't hurt.
And onto the words today ~ I've matched one more and it's a wonderful word (or thing)! I just LOVE making candies each holiday season and most of those I make are 'chocolate' because almost everyone loves getting 'chocolate' gifts to eat. I'm still a long way from posting that all important word but I'm still chugging along.
Sorry to hear of your mishap. The Kitchen can be a dangerous place. Today I got cookie exchange and Bethlehem. I'm up to 9 words. Kathie L in Allentown
one word for me today...I could really use some CHOCOLATE right now, lol!
Can't believe it, not a word again today!

Oh my goodness!! You poor thing! Yes, just what you need at this time of the year when you are super busy. What a nuisance! It is amazing how much we need our thumbs to use our hands, isnt it? You dont really realise it, until you have a broken or injured thumb. My prayers are with you that it heals quickly. I am having heaps of fun with the Bingo, and I have 7 words already!!

Only one today; but I still have hope!
