Found some extremely spicy Fiestaware at the thrift store. It hit 9000 CPM and was accelerating when I gave up. Normal background radiation is between 18 and 23 CPM.
Also, WE didn't find it. A couple of teen boys were walking past us and I overheard one say, "man I wish I had a geiger counter."
I stopped them, held up my geiger counter and said, "a geiger counter you say?"
They just about fell over. We ran to the table with the suspected radioactive dishes and sure enough, the geiger counter proved them right. Good eye for the radioactives, kid.
They ended up buying a few pieces and we notified the thrift store employees to put it away so nobody would accidentally buy the pretty red plates for daily use.
Meanwhile the grandmom is watching nervously, asking "is that really radiation? is it safe? how do I explain this to my daughter??"
made this because i was thinking about it and realized maybe it wasn't the norm to own fiestaware????
this is what fiestaware looks like, if you're unsure. it's basically ceramic plates, bowls, etcetera (there are other types of fiestaware besides this)
This is #wintering …My nephew @mfleming818 sent a picture one day last week of Chianti braised short ribs that he was making. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since. So yesterday I made them in the #instantpot . OMG. So incredibly good. These are made with a big of cola and lots of Valpolicella and they only took an hour. So incredibly easy and I’ll have the recipe up on my substack soon! I served them with Parmesan polenta and steamed artichokes. It was a heavenly meal, just right for the cold and snowy winters eve. #shortribs #dinner #supper #polenta #kitchenwitch #magic #yum #delicious #fiestaware #instantpotrecipes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn91GEbJxAK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
