What do Bisquick,Disposable Pans,And A Mouse Trap have in common?
Well, dinner of course!
Disposible Pan
Because our family is the size it is we have outgrown our 9 x 13 pans. Even two 9 x 13 pans are not enough!
Every once in a while, we will get the leftovers from a big community meal that our church or another church here in Waseca hosts. Sometimes those leftovers come in these big 12 x 19 (?) disposable pans. What a treasure these are. This pan in the picture has lasted since a Thanksgiving meal our church had. It could have been a church egg bake breakfast. I forget which. We are very careful in washing these out. Depending on what I make we can eat 1 1/2 to two whole pans of this 12 x 19 size.
I finally had to throw this pan and another one we acquired at the same time away. The holes on the bottom were just a little too big.
Someday I will come across actual big non disposable pans like this. I know there has to be some out there somewhere.
I did get one last meal in though.
Chicken pot pie Bisquick style!
Bisquick
I have not gotten Bisquick for a long while but I did on an impulse a few weeks ago. Gee what a treat is was. I did not know it came in such a big box. It felt like a luxury not needing to haul out all kinds of ingredients. Does anyone know how to make homemade Bisquick?
A Mouse Trap
As you see in the above picture, Lily is too interested in the mouse trap game to smile for the camera.
Don't worry, I did not serve mouse from a mouse trap for dinner.
It was chicken...honest.

Thats a good idea about using those pans,,,probably never would have thought of that. I use a roasting pan...they are about that size and you can by them anywhere and they even work for squares!
ReplyDeleteTry a commercial or restaurant supply store for bigger pans.
