> I’ve never been in the restaurant biz, but never in my life have I heard that term! I always thought those were called ramekins. I’d assumed you were referring to something used to make monkey bread, but now I’m glad that **shoe** asked. 🙂

This is a [ramekin](https://www.wayfair.com/Tuxton--Tuxton-Round-Duratux-Ramekin-BEX0452-BWX0452-L7097-K~VWU10093.html?refid=MX79439859179610-VWU10093&device=c&ptid=4583039401740208&targetid=pla-4583039401740208&channel=BingPLA&network=o&query=ramekin%20dishes&msclkid=1336d6f9b3841057aabdb36bb5f98a59&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=WF.P.US.G.Housewares%20(SCA)&utm_term=4583039401740208&utm_content=49_7097_0~%5BGLOBAL%5D%20Kitchen%20-%20%5BBakeware%5D%20Baking%20Dishes). This is a [monkey dish](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/acopa-5-oz-ivory-american-white-rolled-edge-stoneware-fruit-monkey-dish-case/303TRE11.html).Sometimes sides are served in one, sometimes, the other. I use a collection of vintage restaurant china at home and make good use of monkey dishes. Ramekins I use to bake stuff like mini casseroles or souffles in.

Picked up the new microwave, got it into the apartment with the help of my neighbor and set up. It’s bigger in size as well as wattage, so I’m going to have to experiment around with my timing. I nuked a cup of cold coffee once set up, and one minute made it quite a bit hotter than the old one.

I replenished the stock of coffee beans with 3# worth, then went to the outlet grocery to pick up TP, most condiments minus hot sauce (that was last trip), laundry bleach, hair conditioner, bacon and snack nuts for less than $50, so it was a successful day.

Now it’s messing around in the studio, watching videos and surfing.
