okay, so I know this is completely irrational, but I thought I recognized the tag on Peas' new corn and tater ring, and knew that his thrift store was in the same chain as my favorite thrift store. And of course it was complete happenstance that Peas found that accessory on that particular day, and there was no logical reason for my thrift store to have the same thing in it, but I still needed to swing by my thrift store yesterday to make the voices in my head quiet down. Didn't find any Weber stuff in the tool/outdoor area or in the kitchen supplies, but when we stopped in at the book section-- my shameless bribe to get my kids to come along in exchange for 3 $.69 books-- my daughter pulled a Weber cookbook off of the kid's shelf and said, "Hey, Daddy, it's a Weber book!". Copyright 1996. Best thing about it is that on page 5, there's a great photo of the same grill that lives on my deck, which used to live on Peas' deck: a red 1995 Performer. Pretty cool.
