Also the holiday platter, and the SB cookbook (always!) and the rack for the LRS - won't need that anymore if we don't have the stone!

And beaded spreader and fork and spoon??

Wow - really not a whole lot - and with the exception of the LRS - no surprises. In fact, most of them I had already guessed!

I have to agree with you, lots of replacements with the one with handles and none with the regular one... The one with handles is thinner if you compare the two.

A host and I were just discussing this the other night that the one with handles is thinner!
 
Well I guess I better get my order in for the LRS!
 
Thanks Ann for posting the discontinued list!!
 
So now does this mean I can sell my desert plates in the marketplace? ;)

I don't think there was a serving platter to match the dessert plates, was there?:confused:

Do you mean the Holiday plates?
 
Yes thats what I mean and assumed (hoping I'm right!) Di meant :-)
 
The Holiday plates are appetizer plates. Those were discontinued. But the Dessert Plates that were discontinued are the round white ones with the gold swirls on the rims.

I have ended up having at least 5 replacements on the round stone w/handles. Have not had to replace mine, but I hardly ever use it. I love my good, ole' seasoned stone!

Has anyone addressed this with HO? Regarding the breakage on the new one with handles? I had a host have one in the oven break twice now. Not to mention, whatever your cooking on it has to be thrown away also when it cracks in the oven...:mad:

Dessert cookook
Is this the Festive Holiday Dessert Book that just came out? I have and love this book so I will be disapointed about that!!:(

large round stone
stencil set
holiday plates
dessert plates

I would imagine that the crinkle cutter and garlic press would also be included, since the "resyled" ones will be introduced March 1st.

I find it hard to believe that this is all................

No, it's the Delightful Desserts cookbook.

That really is the whole list, guys. That's it. :D
 
Is the new white glazed stoneware replacing the cranberry, or will they both be available?
