Yep, reboot, unplug... the works. The box is toast! I had Time Warner on the phone the SECOND it wouldn't turn on. I think I'm going to try to take it in for a trade tomorrow if I can find the time. I won't be home for the Bachelor Tell All... CAN'T MISS THAT! lol Cute Easter Rami's!

Julip- Those Easter Rami's are adorable. Thank God, I don't need any. lol. The only ones I'm allowing myself to get if I see them are those cute little Grestel polka dot ones you have. I love those! Joely- That sucks big time about your DVR already breaking! Isn't the cable company liable at all to come trade it out for you at home? Why should you be inconvenienced and miss the Bachelor? lol. Good luck with that! Bonza- I can't believe my ears, You cheated on waffle cone with fresh baked cookies! I sure hope it was worth it. Unfortunately, nothing on the warmers today. The time has come to go back to work, vacations over. Need to go earn some cabbage to pay for the tart addiction. lmao.

Jinksy - I was just at Homegoods over the weekend to see if I could spot anymore of the polka-dotted ramekins, with no luck. There were a bunch of others, though, but I think all of our collections have gotten to the point where we can be more selective! I saw these interesting warmers during a recent search:
There are more colors and designs, products #4 and #5 in the list. Electric Warmers They also have the halo warmers, in black, ivory, and white. I think I did not bookmark the site when I originally found it, though, because either shipping seemed high or the time to ship was iffy.

Joely - I hope you get your replacement DVR all set up ASAP! You are right, you cannot miss the Women Tell All episode tonight - must see tv! Jinksy is right, though - the cable co. should be the one to run out to replace it for you ASAP instead of you being inconvenienced. Good luck! Jinksy - safe travels! You definitely need to figure out a travel tart solution lol.

Hi Sea - favor to ask...can you please open up a new folder above called "Tart Recipes" where we can post our favorite combos? Done. Also added a thread for links Holly suggested this great idea a few days ago - thanks, Holly!

Haha - there is actually a product out there called "Aroma Traveler":
"Now you can experience the convenience and safety of a flame free fragrance throughout your office, hotel or home. Take this pack on the road with you. The Aroma Traveler™ includes: The Original Candle Warmer™, two wax melting tins, and two packages of scented wax cubes. Everything you need to enjoy the convenience of candles without a flame. Can be used with other tarts or scented wax chips." I have no idea how much or where it is sold, though - this was from the mfr's site: Aroma Traveler

Julip- Very pretty warmers! Thanks for the link. I just checked it out and saw they have some nice colored ceramic ones as well. Now, if only I needed more warmers. lol. Thanks for keeping in eye out for those polka dot ramekins! I have a feeling Bonza and I will be searching for those the rest of my lives. lol. BTW- You are very right about my need for a traveling tart solution. That would be so nice to have on the road! I'm sure I can figure something out!

I just posted that and when it refreshed, I see a nice Aroma Traveler! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for that link too! I guess the most important thing would be a ramekin dish with a removable cover so I could pack it up. I like the recipe folder idea Holly suggested!

Joely, sorry to be so late in letting you know, I did receive my baggies on Saturday. I had quite the production line with tarts, baggies and labels. It was actually fun! It doesn't take much to entertain me... I hope everyone had a great weekend. It's warm today! I woke up to 10 degrees instead of 10 (or more) below. It's looking to be a great week!

Julip - WOW - great warmer finds! The ceramics are so very cute and the 'traveler' so very practical. I wonder about the 'traveler' - they list "two wax melting tins". It would be nice to see that in person to know if the tins have covers for Jinksy's needs. It's hard to tell from the photo. And - if they are using tins, travel candles that come in tins - those containers could be used when the candle is gone, I would think. Paj - 10 degrees!? Yikes!

I would think you could use a glass cup that has a tight cover.. maybe there is such a custard cup around? Or maybe I'm just making this up.. Like a small glass bowl that happened to also have a snap on cover.

And another HERE Can't steal the images but they look like four of the above, with lids and the size 2" x 2.5" sounds good.

At Target, I saw something just like that made by Pyrex. I think it was a 4-pack with covers. I didn't buy them because I have plenty, but thought they would be very nice (especially with a bright colored silicup to show through!).

Wow! Lots of cute warmers/ramekins out there! I am going to place another order soon and am debating between Strawberry Preserves and Strawberry Shortcake, both to use by itself and as a mix with Waffle Cone. Can anyone recommend one over the other?

Just catching up and wanted to say that Alyce herself recommended those Anchor Hocking custard cups w/lids to me in lieu of ramekins. She said the base was thick enough for warming tarts correctly and also, if you want to change the tart out but it still has life left in it, you just pop the lid on and save having to seal it up in those little envelopes. She also told me that WalMart has the 4-pack for under $5.00!!! So, Jinksky, have tart will travel?

Julip, I just love that red/yellow/green warmer you posted above. And Paj, 10 degrees? I would just die. If we get down to the 50's here, I'm miserable and swathed in CC robe and socks, LOL. Oooh, I like the idea of the colored silicup through the clear glass cup. Ahh, those damned elusive silicups.

Bonza!!! You have an Australian??? Jeez, woman, you're just like Barbie--you have everything! Two Tonks and an Aussie. Can it get any better, LOL. I met a load of Aussies in my travelling days and just LOVE them. Their sense of humor and innate decency (at least the ones I met) endeared them forever to me. Actually, I was on my way to Oz when I got side-tracked in the backwoods swamp that is Florida, and sadly, here I remain. Robert Frost had it right!.

Exhale. new DVR installed and working! I couldn't wait for my appointment, so I took it in and traded it out. Wouldn't you know that they forgot to give me the power cord. Thankfully, my stereo equipment used the same cord ... whew. So... I'll have to catch up on tart talk. I love, love the tart warmers pictured above. The celery green is great!

Holly - why, yes, I do have an Aussie... for about 11 years now. But not the one in front of the pizza in Jinksy's folder... here he is... he likes to dress up like Crocodile Dundee in his spare time:
Kidding. He is neither guy, but he is everything you met and liked about Aussies. And they don't have our stress either, they are just wired different as children. It's very refreshing, and life is never, ever dull. Seriously, two Tonks, an Aussie and tarts - I've got it made. Joely - yay about the DVR! Way to go!

LMAO Bonza - the Crocodile Dundee picture. Ahhh, memories... Wow, it has been busy in here today! Bonza - I was curious about the same thing, if those tins had lids. I tried to find the 'Traveler' somewhere other than the mfr. site, to no avail. I must admit I didn't spend much time on it, tho'. Paj - double yikes about you 'warming up' to 10 degrees! Hope you and Katze are swaddled up in CC - btw...has Katze become a CC cat yet? Any updates on a sibling? And thank you to you, Sea, and Holly for all the info on the Anchor Hocking glass ramekins! I will definitely have to pick a set of those up. I had stayed away from the glass ones thinking they weren't safe for long-time warming, but with the thick base and Alyce's recommendation especially, I must have some. I think Jinksy definitely needs a set, too!

Cathie - I have not warmed a Strawberry Shortcake alone yet - just as a blend with Waffle Cone, as suggested by Jinksy...but I seem to remember Jinksy saying the SS was very strong, which led to her trying the blend. Strawberry Preserves has been a long-time favorite of mine and one I always keep "in stock", so that is the one I personally would choose. It smells just like sticking your nose in a basket of fresh picked strawberries. It makes a great all-purpose mixer! On the other hand, Strawberry Shortcake may just be a limited run if Alyce decides not to keep it, but Strawberry Preserves will most likely always be available. So if you think you might want to eventually try both, the SS might be the way to go. Holly, lol I love it that Bonza is Barbie! You are so right! Her Aussie is also known as the Cat Whisperer. lol. He will go many extra miles for those kits of theirs! Woo hoo, Joely! So glad to hear about your new DVR - hope this one lasts longer. Good thing you had a power cord on hand - what a pain! Hope your plans are fun tonight...Bachelor is starting here in an hour! Bonza - I love your description of Aussies - so endearing! And you really do have it made ... you are one lucky gal!
