I haven't purchased this yet, but I think it's so cute that I want one. I only recently discovered that "sandwich presses for pies" were a thing, from watching Aussie cooking videos.

You need to report this to the pie thread.

Did you buy one in the end? It looks like a very dangerous appliance.

Had it delivered and it looks nice and has a good weight to it. Got half a kilo of dried birds eye chillies on their way to fill it up.

I bought a holly wreath for the front door, this year the price went up to £12 and it still feels like great value. Also these, from a charity shop for £1. My partner doesn't see the appeal but I love them so much:

They are so lovely and lucky you finding them in a charity shop. I’ve been looking at some royal Worcester evesham scallop shaped dishes that I don’t need on eBay for ages, similarly pretty

I looked them up and they look a lot like they're from the same set? The only downside is that they can't go in the dishwasher, the gold edges rub off - learned from experience

Or the microwave, as I learned in my youth with my mum's best bowls.

The chilli grinder is ace - it grinds them really finely so you don't end up with flakes in the food, like you, err, obviously would with chilli flakes.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A new set of cutlery - they have a nice weight to them as they're made from decent heavy steel.

Am considering getting a Z bed

My spare room has a sofabed in, but it would be useful to have one of those Z beds too so someone could sleep in my study (or perhaps downstairs). None of the sofas downstairs are sofa beds and I don’t have the space for a proper bed.

This rug..
It took me forever to choose one.
Like 4 years!!
But I like this a lot.
And it was cheap too.


Everything in the room is hand me downs (that I love)...but the rug is new

 

[Ron Merlin]

Got me a new side table and vintage West German vase. The table's actually made of concrete

 

[Ron Merlin]

I seem to be all about vintage eastern European vases at the moment. Here's my latest, a 1960s/70s Hungarian Keramia Tofej vase

Have you bought one yet?

 

[Epona]

I don't get it - you still need to make the pastry and make the filling, isn't it easier (or at least no more difficult) to just use a pie plate/dish and cook it normally?

I don't see how a specific pie cooking device actually saves much effort or time.

This.
I'm sure it's another thing that would be consigned to the back of the cupboard before too long.
Mr B had a colleague who raved about his new soupmaker, and he wondered if I might like one.
I told him I already had one - it's called a saucepan and a stick blender

 

[dessiato]

We’ve bought a 3 and a 2 seater, electric recliner sofas. We got them from a local charity shop. They had been donated from a closing furniture shop. They’re brand new and cost half the price of similar ones in shops. We weren’t intending to buy yet, but these are such bargains we couldn’t pass them up.

I like it conceptually. But my kitchen is already full of single use devices that rarely get used and I'm not adding to it.

 

[Ron Merlin]

I've stopped buying vintage European vases, thankfully (ooh, me wallet). New shit comprises this custom Eat the Rich mug and a hanging thingy for this Bullingdon wankers tea-towel I found at the back of a cupboard the other day

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Ordered a new kettle and toaster. Current toaster is about 15 years old and getting a bit flaky.
