Your message made me smile and I can SO relate! We have two very busy daughters-in-law (8 kids between them)and I often take them dishes to reheat on a busy day. You can imagine how many baking dishes, casseroles, lids, plates, tins, etc. that have never been returned and neither family claims to have any of them. (Honest, they do return the dishes most of the time.) On my next trip to the outlet stores, I've vowed to look for the least expensive clear casseroles I can find. And I'm buying some mismatched large plates for all the cakes and cookies I take them on my next flea market haunt -- a place where you might find another copy of your cookbook!
