I think everyone in a relationship with someone who’s deployed has a crutch that they lean on when things get stressful. And I’m sure some people have productive ones, like running. Or flossing.
I like to collect random things.
I think it’s always been my thing because my family still makes fun of me for saving crayon shavings in my pencil boxes when I was in elementary school.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that I have become a Goodwill stalker. I want all the old Pyrex.
All of it.
My husband was asking me the other night what I plan on doing with all of it.
Uhhh, I’m gonna put food in it and take pictures.
And then he asked why I don’t just look on Ebay.
Because then I don’t get to waste hours driving around to all the thrift stores in hopes of finding just one piece!
I’m obsessed. But you have to admit that the Pyrex is a lot more practical than last deployment’s nailpolish collection. I could live 10 lives and never make it through all that nailpolish. Geez.
Unrelated: Exactly 3 weeks until the first regular season NFL game. I AM READY.
And I’m making Spicy Corn Dip!
I love love love corn dip. Any kind of corn dip. Hot, cold, cheesy, spicy, I love it all! This version is hot and spicy and it’s just perfect with a big bag of the scoopy Fritos.

Omg this looks so good. I would eat it with a spoon haha
I collect Pyrex too – I love it! I love collecting it – I love the “hunt” . Good luck with your search!
I love corn dips – absolutely the perfect game food. And anything spicy is the best for a dip! I had a roommate in college that collected nail polish and literally had a huge storage box full of them – it was so cool. But I doubt she’ll ever get through even half of it :)
I saw your Pyrex obsession on Instagram and I love it! And I mean it is a totally productive crutch – it is all for your blog! haha. This dip looks so perfect for football season! Definitely going to make this!!
I’ve never tried corn dips, but this recipe inspires me to make one :)
There’s no fun buying online..I love hitting up Goodwill and I’ve noticed loads of Pyrex :) Ummm this dip needs to be made by me. Corn and spicy. ..winner!
If “spicy” and “dip” are involved, then I’m excited! I want to try this ASAP.
At least you are obsessed with something besides blogging. I need a hobby.
I would eat this whole thing. I might just have to kick off the football season with this. I can’t wait!!!
And I totally support the Pyrex addiction. It’s the best!
Pyrex is amazing. My husband keeps reminding me when football starts (aka football food). I really need to make this corn dip!!!
I’m just gonna say yes to all things Pyrex and spicy corn dip!!
I need to make this now!!
This looks like a perfect appetizer for game days! Love it!
Our hubby’s will probably never understand our need to fun photo props!! ;) I adore this corn dip! My family and I would devour it in no time!
How did I miss this post?! I love seeing you buy ALL.THE.PYREX. I feel slightly responsible but in a good way ;-)
Totally your fault! I’ve got my eye on 2 on ebay right now so it’s progressed from just thrift stores to ebay/etsy. It’s bad.
