Well, we still have mostly plastic storage containers and non-stick pans, but I am replacing what I can, when I can, with better stuff that I find at the church charity Thrift Shop. Part of my problem, however, is that I have really not known much about the advantages of using good cookware...

That's why I always like to state it's a church charity Thrift Shop. Whatever they sell is 100% profit to them. That's the problem, of course, you can't just go into a Thrift Store and expect to have exactly what you want on the shelf. Those Pyrex cookware I got at such a great price are not...

I think we bought our last set of knives in a wood block on an after Christmas clearance sale. Saved lots of money and was able to afford a higher quality set. Speaking of quality, if you know what you are buying, you can often find fantastic stuff at a Thrift Store at great prices. I don't...

Oh boy, the green tops of onions are great to eat. I like to cut them up into smaller pieces and put them on my salads, or into soups. I also put onion tops in my egg omelets. Come to think of it, green onion tops go good with just about anything.

:highfive: That is a very generous offer. I will take you up on it! I just sent you a PM with my address. Do I plant the starts this fall for early spring harvest, or do I keep them inside the house until next spring to plant? Again, I live in zone 3b with long, cold, snowy weather. Also, do...
