When I sat at the dining room table and looked into the kitchen, I saw the yellow bowl with the light shining through it. Right after I took this picture, the sun disappeared and it was a regular old Pyrex bowl. This is a bowl like the one my mother stirred her whole wheat bread dough, covered with a tea towel, let it rise. Large yellow Pyrex bowl on kitchen table

Beautiful!
Lovely picture. One can still purchase those retro pyrex bowls at the corning museum in Corning NY. I have one left from a set my grandmother gave me when I married. I use it every day and think of her when a take it out of the cupboard.
Shattered a bowl just like that when I was maybe 10 years old. Hit the upright between double bowl stainless steel sink and went into a thousand pieces. One large shard cut deep into my wrist and little finger. My aunt who lived next door took me to Dr. Bardonner. He stitched me up right there in his office. I remember watching the whole procedure, just mesmerized. My aunt passed out. Ahh, such memories evocked the second I saw the photo in today’s post. To this day no Pyrex in my house.
Ouch. Sounds so awful. Yes, you’re right- I’d say the photo today certainly evokes a response and I’m sorry it’s a painful one.
Gives me a cool Saturday morning feel.
Thank you
Magic transformation of a common bowl by the sun. You captured a precious moment, Ruth!
Thanks Peter. Light is magic!
i have that very bowl from my mom’s kitchen. great catch in noticing the light.
It’s a terrific size, isn’t it? Thanks Audrey.
A moment of serendipity. Lovely.
Lucky light, thanks.
A beautiful photo you captured! I just love the old vintage Pyrex… Memories, memories!
The big yellow one is my favorite.
My mother used this same style and color Pyrex bowl for baking as well. It is a clear memory from my youth when cakes, cookies or brownies began with the bowl. It was always special to me with or without the light on it.
So many lovely and delicious memories evoked by this mixing bowl.
