Don't talk to me about ramekins, I'm knee-deep in them. I think they must be breeding.
I find that, too, and I NEVER use them. In my case the reason they seem to breed is that they come with nice Gü choccie puds in them (or similar) from the supermarket, and I can't bring myself to chuck them out. Upturned, they are useful as tealight-stands. |

Similar problem here. Also have a glut of those terracotta dishes that Waitrose's tapas comes in. Annoyingly they don't stack, and I've run out of plants to stand in them.  |

... but have you got my two missing ramekins?
 A side to Reiner that few of us had previously guessed at . |

Reiner had a little ramekin,
With china white as snow
And everywhere that Reiner went,
He'd take that dish in tow.
He took it full to school one day;
Which broke a safety rule;
It made the children sick (not fay);
As they ate its contents - gruel.
"Why was the Ramekin so awful?"
The retching children cried;
"'Cos Russian Gruel is full of offal"
That's how Reiner replied.
Apologies
Tommo

I've got lots of teaspoons too and I'm not really sure how - I'm sure they multiply behind my back. My cutlery drawer is quite a contrast with my other half's - he only has 2 teaspoons. 2 teaspoons!! I think I might start to transfer some surreptitiously, you can't properly get by with only 2 teaspoons. You and your other half have separate cutlery drawers??! I haven't heard the word 'ramekin' since my last summer as a silver-service waiter in 2001. That's made me very happy ... I'm not sure I'd ever even seen the word written down before. I do however know how to pick up a hot ceramic one containing freshly-made crême brulée and deposit it on a table by levering it between a serving fork and a tablespoon. |

Apologies for what? Writing a new version of "Mary had a little lamb" to accompany an image that clearly depicts Little Bo-Peep?  |

(But nevertheless, curiously self-referencial for a senior moments thread....) Anyway, here we go again: Little Bo Reiner has lost his Ramekins And doesn't know where to find them. Leave them alone, Richard will own Plenty enough for the Forum. Tommo |
