I still can't get into the brownies. But the red and the yellow...I've been watching a red on CL that I really want. The XC REALLY wants a lime one.

I agree with Buckie, you people have changed me.

If she likes the older limes then she would probably really like one of the new UK Spring Greens

All you'd have to do is contact a UK agent and arrange shipping back across the pond, after all its only money right ;D

For those that are consistently whining about "colors we can't get in our country"

.....have you thought about asking for a "One-Touch® Premium".....in a certain "COLOUR ?

Brownies and greys for me.  KenMC's grey is a thing of beauty.  And reds are over rated.

Brownies and grey for me too!

I guess my true "not yet" color is Chestnut Coppertone a.k.a "boobie pink" It's definitely a '50s appliance color. Now I'm not saying that if I ever found one, I wouldnt snag it. Its a vintage kettle. I'd snag any kettle with metal handles or that required thumbscrews.   ;) Weird because the 2-tone brownies and avocado kettles (which I love) remind me of 60s-70s appliance colors which were in my Grandma's kitchen (2 tone brown) and my parents kitchen (2 tone avocado), both colors remind me of my childhood. Memories.  :)

Eastex, I REALLY like you, but the XC read this and now she has the contact number and is pushing hard!! As if shes not already in my wallet! I'm pretty sure she doesn't need your help. Ahhh, thanks?  ;) LOL!!!

Oh, and just for payback...if after your trip, those 2 lovely daughters of yours feel the need to learn the blues, I have a vintage ES 335 Memphis series for sale.... ;)

Well at least there should be room in the shipping container for the matching Spring Green Weber Style tongs and spatula right? It'd be a shame to have to use some old beat up tools on that fine grill wouldn't it? :)

Like I said earlier, I am coming around on the limes. Old or new.




Just in time for Easter!

Blue wave almost looks like Galley-Q blue.

It's funny, the Galley Q was Seafoam, the early metal top handled ones were Seafoam, but when the wood top handle came out as "The Imperial" it was changed to Glen Blue which is much more pale. I'm not a huge of glen blue, but I really like the seafoam/aqua.

For me its the Black. I never liked black but now with the addition of my 26'er I'm strangely coming around. It's my ninja or maybe the dark knight in my collection.

When I put my Galley Que next to my european turquoise Smokey...they are darn near identical.

I didn't love my red until I'd had it for a few days. And I've acquired and rehabbed two grays for friends, and I kinda miss them. Gray is a cool, understated color. But I think I'd love to have a yellow. Especially after hearing Craig say they shift to orange when hot.
