Yeah, I hoped there would have been enough
for me to get a second tasting, but if they
liked it, all the better.

They were very nice... Had you made more, they'd probably still all
been eaten... or at least mostly so.... ;)

It was a pretty big tray.

... RTFM: Read The Fact-filled Manual.

"Fun-filled," perhaps?

Sometimes, I suppose.... :)

The fun may not all be intentional on the
part of either the writer, the consumer, or
the manufacturer.

One can't cook on the stove with it. Corning-
labeled cookware used to be made from lab glass,
borosilicate to you, and could take a lot of
thermal abuse. Now Corningware is plain glass.

That sounds like the Pyrex dishes.... when I think of Corningware, it's
the white dishes (with or without nice patterns on the outside of the
pot)...

I was imprecise - it's plain glass but in the white
tinting of the former hardened glass.

Consumer Reports and various other testing
agencies missed the point when they said the
loss of thermal elasticity and the gain of
drop-shatter strength cancelled out. Myself, I
think the brand should return to its roots, but
that won't happen; it's too expensive.

And that's sad....

For sure. ties in with our issues about
corporate squeezing of every possible dollar.

I'm pretty sure Boston University Bookstore
was affiliated with Barnes & Noble as well,
though Harvard of course always had its Coop,
which returns the profits to its membership at
the end of the fiscal year.

We used to have just a campus bookstore, back when I was in college, but somewhere along the way, Barnes & Noble took it over.... The Coop
sounds like a nice way to handle things.... :)

When I was in school, the Coop was managed by a
largely student directorship and was teetering at
the edge of insolvency. It took a professional
manager in the form of a guy from my class (rather
than a large corporation) to bring it back to life.
It continues to prosper to this day.

It was a pretty big tray.

And plenty of people happily eating them.... :)

Point.

And their failing to recognize that quality would actually produce more
dollars rather than less....

Nice to hear a success story now and then.... :)
