I am so happy to see this forum continuing.
The New Year has not gotten off to a good start for me. I have been consistent with small things every day. After reading Daisy’s blog today, I decided to make pasta and gravy from scratch for dinner. I started making the red sacuce with sausage ( in Philly speak that makes it gravy). I then went in search of the manual pasta maker. I couldn’t locate it. It wasn’t where it was supposed to be. I then notice other items (copper cookware, cast iron cookware, Staub, tools) gone.
My mind suddenly took me back several months. My cousin had commented about all the extra stuff and that since I wasn’t using it, he could sell all and make some good money. I explained the two is one concept and that I wanted the stuff. Besides the fact, that the stuff was mine.
As soon as my mind connected, I sent a text to then DC (d&$# cousin). I could tell DC read it, but no response from DC. I am furious.
This is all stuff I have collected over the years — lots of gifts and purchases. The Staub and the copper cookware were my grandmother’s. I cannot afford to go out and replace the stuff. I am heartsick. Has anyone had this type of stuff occur to them? I hope karma bites DC in the a$$.
On a good note, I also have a Kitchen Aid along with a pasta attachment. The pasta turned out great. The gravy is awesome. I have leftovers for a few more meals.
Between us, I don’t feel so bad about using the Kitchen Aid as I have solar back up to run the necessary electrical, plus a few extras. I will be on the lookout for a manual pasta maker at the thrift store.
