I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. For example, I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo - to name a few. Prior to that, I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about instead. Career-wise, I’ve been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started… and before the days of Facebook and YouTube).

I’m also a lifelong dog owner - so I often share my favorite tips for living with dogs inside your home (like smart home design choices and dog-friendly cleaning & decorating ideas). And I LOVE to clean! I even enjoy doing laundry (but not ironing). I like to help people find unique ways to do things that will save time & money - so I write about “outside the box” Household Tips and Life Hacks that most wouldn’t think of. I have both styles of lids. I don’t use the lids though. The bowls came with optional glass lids (that pretty much just rest on top they don’t lock on in any way) or soft plastic lids (which also don’t seal to the rim of the bowl at all). Love these too - for all the same reasons. Corningware Grab-It Bowlsīy the way, I also own a set of the matching Grab-It bowls from Corningware. I highly recommend them, if you’re looking smaller snack-size plates for you and yours. You can literally drop these Grab-It plates on the floor (learned this by accident) and they won’t even chip! They’re so durable… almost indestructible. Plus, these plates are indestructible! They are made of the triple-thick glassware from Corningware not their thin stuff. Yep, I use them in the microwave all the time. They were originally sold as part of Corning’s Heat ‘n Eat line. They’re little square plates with a tab (or handle) and they’re just perfect for single-serve items and snacks - all those times when you don’t need a full-size dinner plate. ~ Corelle Corner Corningware Grab-It Plates During their first year on the market they were sold uncovered, with no glass or plastic lids. Grab-Its were also offered in pairs and in Corning Ware boxed assortments.

They were also placed among Centura’s Corning Ware accessories, but in this context they were called a “Porringer” instead. Grab-Its (P-150) debuted during 1977 and were included in the Microwave Set.
