Just posted this on my PC FB page, and thought you ladies would have some other fun "symptoms" to add... just for fun!

Are you a Stoner? Experts have reported an epidemic in your area! Holiday Baking Season is around the corner, and you don't want to be caught unprepared!
Here are the warning signs:
- you rave about your perfect cookies, muffins, bread, and brownies to anyone who will listen. Often overheard: "They NEVER burn! You HAVE to try these!"
- you have a prized collection of well-seasoned stones, and know that the uglier they are, the better they cook.
- you've moved way beyond the labels that come with your stones - you use your Deep Dish Pie Plate to make baked potatoes, your Fluted Pan to make roasted chicken, your Muffin Pan to make meatloaf, and any stone that will fit goes in the microwave.
- you've abandoned all metal and glass bakeware and exclusively use Stoneware in your oven
- your stoneware collection is taking over your kitchen cabinets, and. Severe cases have been known to build storage racks or even entire cabinets, just to house stones.
- When the new Pampered Chef catalog comes out each season, you flip right to the Stoneware section, and start dreaming of all the delicious, easy meals you could make in the new Stoneware piece.

If this sounds like you, you're definitely a Stoner! This is a serious condition that can only be treated by a qualified expert. Contact your nearest Pampered Chef Consultant today.

LOVE this! :o)
 
I love this! I just posted it on my FB page too...thanks for sharing!
 
This is funny! I'm laughing hard at the overtaking the cabinets, because I'm seriously not sure where to put them anymore (and I keep buying more!)..but now I'm thinking a storage cabinet on my sunporch might be in order :D
 
That's fantastic. Would you mind if I post it on my FB page? I will, of course, give credit to you.
 
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone! You're welcome to share it. Most of it comes from my own Stone addiction. My husband actually built me an island for our kitchen that was specifically designed to be deep enough to hold all my stones on the old wooden racks. When those babies went on sale in the outlet, I bought 6 of them. Too bad our new kitchen's cabinets aren't big enough to hold them. Now my stones are all stacked up on top of each other.... someday I'll have my dream kitchen and cabinets for just stoneware....
 
Thank you! The Furry Guy is talking about building storage slots for a lot of my PC stuff--including the stoneware. :D
