My mom and I went to the big Goodwill in Austin today. It’s smaller than I remembered from my childhood, but still has a good selection of furniture, kitchenware, and computers. Anyone want a laptop for $80?
We bought some cool stuff!
We’ve been playing the original 1981 version of Trivial Pursuit and it’s woefully out of date. It doesn’t even have questions on the Vietnam War! I found the 2002 and 2008 versions at Goodwill today, so we’ve moved 20 years closer to the present!A cast iron takoyaki pan in the process of being cleaned. My mom actually got it for making æbleskivers, a Danish breakfast or dessert food. She’s tried making them before, using a muffin tin on the stovetop, but it didn’t turn out well.Here’s a closeup of the octopus/spider decoration.
We say lots of other cool stuff (of course!): stainless steel popcorn/mixing bowl, cast iron skillet, pyrex pie dishes, pyrex baking dishes, empty pillow ticking, oak cabinet with curved doors (my mom says probably early 1900s).
