For Crash, it's the huge, yellow Pyrex bowl that his mother used when
making potato salad.

For me, it's cooking stuff, but my erstwhile sister commandeered most of
Mom's stuff to give to my niece. Thank goodness for thrift shops. I have
a set of aluminum measuring cups and a million pie pans. I very rarely
make pies, but every time we see a pan like one of Mom's we buy it, because
neither of us can remember if we've already got one like that.
