psychedelic corningware

i wa digging around in the garage and made a v special archaeological finds! - 1970s corning ware v similar to these... they have the same blue flower pattern anyway... i love these things as they are suited to all terrains - direct heat (fire), oven, microwave etc... and i am lucky enough to have a plate warmer & gravy pot with the same flower theme (which i can add to my collection of a carving plate and salad plate) ... now i just need to think of a menu to make use of them all at the same time... it would have to be a 70s menu, prepared while dressed in a psychedelic apron...
today's cooking tip: carrot rice with cumin seeds finished with a knob of butter - best way to recycle left over rice from last night... fry up some sliced onion & cumin seeds...then add the shredded carrots... add abit of liquid (1 tinned tomatoes, 1 v small tin of coconut milk)... then let the rice absorb all the liquid (also add 2 stock cubes /salt )... turn down the heat for absorption and then just b4 finishing add the knob of butter... and pepper...
