I've already broken my rule. Aren't you disappointed in me?
You know. The one I just made. About not buying anymore furniture. Yah. That one.
My bamboo-wood dish drainboard decided to up and fall apart just a couple of days after I made the rule (of course!). I do need to dry dishes for the next two years (or less). And so does my roommate. So out of common courtesy and thinking of my roommate's comfort (ay yay yay) I went to Target and bought a new drainboard. $18 dollars later... Yah. $18 for some plastic and wire. It's a racket I tell ya.
On my way out of the housewares section I just happened to walk down the bakeware aisle.
(That was my first mistake)
And low and behold what should jump off the shelf and into my cart? Custard cups. That's right. A four pack. Cute little glass custard cups with lids for convenient fridge storage. Only $6. (They were my consolation prize for having to spend $18 on a dish rack!)
I needed them to make molten chocolate cakes on Friday!! Because who doesn't want a molten chocolate cake on Friday? Come on!!
Also I'm currently having a secret love affair with sugar-free jello pudding, which comes in Cheesecake flavor but you have to make it from a box and you have to store it in (you guessed it) custard cups! (In case you didn't know, I'm currently on a strict sugar-on-Fridays-only regimen, so... sugar free Jello, woo-hoo! Come on, get excited with me.)
I've further justified the purchase by deciding to take the custard cups with me in my backpack when I begin roaming the earth... Eh. No. Just kidding.
Besides, do housewares really count as furniture? Home furnishing, yes. Furniture... debatable.
But seriously... could you pass this up? I didn't think so.
