It looked like there was one desirable item, the “Wise Owl Outfitters 30-Liter Backpack Cooler,” but it turned out that the inner lining is torn away from the outside on both corners.
Maybe as a suggestion, there was also a roll of Alien tape, although it’s the wrong kind. But I do have the repair kind as well, so maybe I’ll try to fix it. Also in the box:
Size S men’s undies & Size 2XL women’s PJs; both to be given away.
And the nice Sky blue Meh bag with yellow print, best thing in this box!
@Kyeh yep. But you need to come to Oregon. not sure if it would be worth shipping it here and me shipping it back. Granted postage wouldn’t be terribly egregious. Though I’d definitely send you a box with extra things in it on its return journey.
Okay, here’s the best I’ve got. Please forgive me for the bad photos.
The first photo is a Cusinart 10 cup Core Custom food processor It looks like the box was kicked around the block a couple of times, but it has pretty good packing, so maybe it’s okay. I’ll check it out later.
I also got the lovely sky blue IRK bag with yellow lettering. It’s very pretty.
The next photo is the Cuisinart food processor wearing its new and favorite purple bra. A perfect fit!
I’m sorry, I think I’ve taken up a lot of room here, but thank you very much, Meh, for the IRK.
@GzBiH@Kyeh Awesome. This and luggage are my dream and yet to receive IRKs. Sorry for suggesting you start the Reveal thread. Didn’t look close enough to see that @Kyeh had already started one.
@Kyeh oh I wanted these so much but they’re always out of my budget. I’m so grateful to the Meh team who sent me these. 🥹 Most definitely I’ll be cooking, only for good looking.
@GzBiH It’s wonderful that you actually wanted them; it’s always sad when someone gets a “unicorn” Irk, but isn’t excited about it. @rcwbbb - I hope you get a dream Irk too!
@GzBiH You really hit the jackpot on this one. I got a Calphalon stockpot but it was their classic line. You got the premium line with your select by Calphalon cookware.
@Star2236 That’s a great idea. I like it. I got carried away by sending an IRK box AND a hometown box in the last meh-exchange. One box in the next meh-exchange. Things don’t always have to be bigger in Texas.
I got a big box with a big hole in it. Guessing anything worth getting in this irk was removed. Arm fit nicely in hole to fish around. What remained was a blue irk bag, purple shoulder sling bad (like a fanny pack but for your shoulder?) And a knife. I have pictures but don’t remember how to upload them.
Got mine yesterday but the heat index was 115 (I volunteer at a food bank on Wednesdays and while we pack boxes inside we hand them out outside) and I was wiped out by the time I got home… so am finally getting around to posting.
Men’s small briefs. Maybe they will fit a 12 year old skinny kid who wears kids size 14 since they appear to be stretch?
Really pretty irk bag. I want more of that color!!! I would have been happy with a box full of that color irk bag and nothing else. Thanks meh for printing such a nice one this time around.
Massage thing that is new in box, although there is apparently a version 2 out which this is not (and that explains why meh has them) but it won’t turn on. The warranty says I pay for postage. Does anyone who has one think this is even worth paying postage for to get it fixed?
@brainmist That is the first thing I did. All the lights show the charge is finished. It just won’t turn on no matter how long (or short) you press the on button.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I have gotten a lot of broken things in irks over the years. This I wasn’t expecting to be broken as the box was in decent shape and appeared to be unopened. I guess meh achieved a meh irk for me. Congrats meh. You succeeded.
@Kidsandliz those massagers are Da Bomb Diggity!!! Love mine, it does help if you have someone that will use it on you on the hard to reach/awkward places. I try to bribe my kids, which usually does not work.
@cbilyak Well I will see if something can be done to make it work. I’ll call them since it has a 90 day warranty (although reviews say their customer service sucks big time).
Totally forgot to take a picture before my Irk was raided by the rats who live in my abode, but I got a new set of blue sheets (super brushed for super softness), a random notebook cover for a magnetic notebook pages (looks pretty cool, but I will not be purchasing said magnetic notebook refill), a pair of small boxers to add to my son’s collection, a new cool Irk bag. Not too bad a haul. Not too great either. I would say the regret is meh. Thanks though!
Got my irk last night right before leaving for the weekend, so I didn’t take the time to take a picture. I’m reciting this from memory and the five minutes I devoted to going through it, so I might be leaving something out: got the light blue irk bag (nice colors!), size small black boxer briefs, size XL navy basketball shorts with a slight defect (didn’t take the time to inspect what the issue is), a 3-in-1 charge stand, and what I can only describe as a gold grandma purse. It’s huge and, in my opinion, rather ugly.
I’m so glad I don’t pay for these things. My regret would be very high!
No picture, but I got:
Alien tape - love that stuff
Small undies - might fit my son
Pair of PJs that may or may not fit, if true to size it may be a winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Blue IRK bag
And a Food vacuum sealer - have always wanted to try one but never wanted to actually buy one. The box is beat to Hell and back, sliced open and taped back together, so we’ll see if it functions or is just an exciting paperweight.
bed sanitizer, in a box that looked like it had been kicked all the way here to me and when I opened was the inside was covered in some horrible black powder that got everywhere and made me cough really bad. Perfect timing though, as I just stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washer. I’ve always wanted to try this bc I have horrible allergies so I’m excited. The vacuum looks brand new and the plastic wrap made it so the vacuum wasn’t covered in black powder.
Cat jacket coozie, almost bought these a few times.
Boxers to add to my collection
Knit Bennie, I’ll find someone who can use it
Blue bag
Thanks MEH I’m really happy with mine. Anything to make cleaning/cooking easier is always welcome in my house.
I just got mine, a steam mop that is missing the steamer part of it so the rest is useless… and a black Meh bag and a cracked CD… this is total crap for almost 50 bucks when you include shipping and tax. I think I am completely cured of ever buying another one of these
Got mine a day late. Fedex said it was to be delivered yesterday, but it was 200+ miles away from my city at 9 pm. Don’t know what it is with them lately; incorrect delivery status, long travels in the opposite direction of my city, predicted delivery dates missed with “we’ll update when your package starts moving again” and that status still current after delivery.
Anyway… here’s my IRK
Winter snow car kit: a telescoping handle to which a snow brush, ice scraper, or shovel can be attached; a shovel handle for the other end of the telescoping piece; and a tote bag to store it all in. This will get some use!
Plumping lip and eye serum. Will be added to my pile of IRK women’s cosmetics. Anybody want them?
One bag of Malibu Vegobears foamy gummy bears. Will go in the box of these I still have from a previous IRK. They’ll all probably end up in compost at some point.
A gold-colored charm with a gem/mineral/rock disk on the inside that’s about the size of a nickel. Don’t know what I’ll do with it.
and the piecè de la résistence…
A post-it note written in Chinese (I think, but the writing looks strange)
Here are closeups of the charm and the note. Can anyone translate the note?
@MrGoodGuy Thanks! I don’t know what the repaint thing could mean, but there were two pieces of cardboard in there that are about the size indicated. I guess Kingdee is the brand name.
Can Google Translate scan an image looking for text?
@ItalianScallion You’re welcome! Yes, Google can scan an image and translate any text it finds in the image! Just upload the photo and select the area you want and click the Translate prompt. It’s really pretty neat how they’re able to do that! If you can get a closeup of the writing under Kingdee you could try to translate that. Good luck!
I put all the stuff in its bag and there’s still loads of room, so I suppose I’ll put my “emergency” car kit contents in that instead of the plastic box I’ve been using. A bag can be squished and crammed into available space, after all.
@milstarr my irk was a medium red polo brand shirt, a travelon backpack in forest green, 1 bag of gummies, 1 bag of foam gummies, a box of under eye patches, and the blue and yellow irk bag. The Travelon backpack is nice but I can’t really carry things on my back anymore. (Arthritis in my spine.)
So not regret per se, disappointed for sure. I may not play anymore meh games. Need less stuff and more money. lol And of course Solite Sydney luggage.
Thanks meh!
Mine arrived Thursday, but I went straight to bed after work (Covid), so I just opened the box. I received a small Calphalon frying pan, the blue IRK bag with yellow print, some Splenda sweet tea pods that leaked, a Julian Lennon CD on which the sweet tea pods leaked, and another notebook cover.
I’ve found the notebook cover can fit a small 7" tablet. Not quite well, but the rubber band latches the thing shut if you remember to stuff it back in.
Also, that rod is magnetized. My keys keep sticking to it.
My IRK arrived yesterday and this is what I got…
*One 2.7 fl oz. bottle of St. Tropez face bronzing self tanning spray. I’ve tried it on my inner wrist before I go to my face, still waiting to see what color I turn.
*One red notebook cover to add to my collection.
*One 6 pack of hot and spicy Ramen noodles.
*One 5qt Select Calphalon stockpot to cook the Ramen noodles in. That might make a nice giveaway for someone on one of the “Free” gifting groups I’m on.
*And as always my favorite thing is the IRK bag itself, this time it’s the same blue with yellow text just like everyone else.
I’m curious to know anything about this pot I received… I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find one with the glass lid like this, no center handle and no vent hole. Also, it sits a little low inside the pot. I’m thinking it’s possible that it’s from a broken up set or maybe it originally had a third piece to it like a steamer or something? I’m seeing others got one lonely pan too.
Here’s a picture of the bottom of the pot.
@sillyheathen@pakopako
Yes that’s what I was thinking. Apparently it’s part of their stackable line. I did get a whisper about it so I’ve stopped obsessing. Lol It’s sold individually in a teflon/nonstick version so it’s probably sold individually in this one too!
@Barney methinks she’s going to far surpass her momma! Actually all three of them are wildly creative and love art. Not that it’s a surprise. It kind of runs in the family. My mum is also an artist as were many of my McMichael relatives.
First one worth posting in awhile.
Cuisinart stand mixer, box and packaging totally destroyed, but all the pieces were there and still in original plastic bags and it works. I don’t need a stand mixer since I have a kitchenaid in storage, but this has a slightly smaller profile so may get used.
Blue irk bag
Carbon monoxide detector that says my bedroom has 0ppm
Earbuds
Pair of small boxers sealed for freshness
@Lynnerizer If I can find somewhere in the kitchen it can fit, probably pizza dough. Maybe see if the more narrow but taller bowl will do some of the smaller recipes that never worked out right in the kitchenaid
@Lynnerizer@metaphore Pizza dough can be made in a multiple-crust batch, divided, carefully wrapped, and frozen. Thawing is a bit interesting; I find that this works better when the dough is frozen as a disc than a ball. But as I more often make personal pizzas using a tortilla or flatbread as the crust, I don’t make fresh dough very often. (OTOH, pizza dough with garlic, herb and butter topping makes a really good flatbread that can also be frozen and reheated, so…)
@metaphore
That sounds great! I’ve been thinking about making homemade pizzas recently, I think it’s because I’m seeing ads for toaster ovens that can fit different size pizzas. Veggie pizza would be my first choice.
@Kyeh@metaphore
My goodness so many different models, 6 in 1, an 8 in 1, and a 9 in 1! I had looked at this one but I didn’t remember so many choices of basically the same oven! I like the way you can lift it up to save space on your countertop. We can’t spare too much of that, it’s prime real estate! Lol
I got one of those stand mixers an IRK or two ago. The front plate comes off and will take all my KitchenAid attachments (of which I have way too many).
It does tend to get hot if you use it for a long time, but it’s a solid tool. I recently extruded a ton a bucatini and it worked flawlessly despite getting quite warm. And my daughter has made a metric shit ton of cookies since it landed.
But it is weird to have two stand mixers in my already crowded kitchen. Although now I can now wreck my kitchen in a much more efficient fashion
I’m late with my post, it arrived this week but it’s been a busy week.
My IRK contained:
Full size bamboo mattress protector
Small Comfort Republic boxer briefs
Big roll of the double sided Alien Tape. It’s wider and seemingly longer than the rolls I bought retail some time ago.
what’s essentially a wallet with a shoulder strap for ladies… I hesitate to call it a purse. It has 3 very slim sections so it cannot become a capacious bag of holding
the beautiful blue and yellow IRK bag. This colorway feels like summer. Quite nice, 10/10.
@djslack
I kinda like that your bag/purse is so small! It would definitely keep me from bringing everything but the kitchen sink the way I always have with my oversized gigantic purses that I’ve carried forever!
Meh must have a good size section dedicated for those size small boxers we’ve been seeing lately. I’m betting they’re going to be the new TrackR for 2025/26. I’ve already gotten 3 of them, each in a different color! I gave them to our 10 year old grandson, he’s the only person small enough to possibly fit in them, still waiting to hear how that went.
Looking at it now I don’t know why I didn’t call it a skibidi wallet. Though there are probably three people on this site who would get that, and two of them would tell me I did it wrong.
Received 1-1/2 weeks ago. That’s how excited I am about this IRK.
1 Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized 6 qt. Stock Pot with Lid. It either lost its box as standalone cookware (came wrapped in a plastic bag) or lost its family of 10 piece cookware set on SideDeal.com. In either way, it’s a nice orphan stock pot that I’ll use.
1 Cable Knit Slouchy Beanie. Have 3 from required purchases in prior IRKs.
1 Comfort Republic brief size S. I’ve seen a lot of people getting these and this is my second consecutive IRK to have this. Think @Lynnerizer is right. These have got to be the new TrackRs. Or at least the new acrylic paint.
1 Rekonect notebook cover. Waiting for meh to sell the magnetic pages. This is the second notebook in as many IRKs so I’m not holding my breath.
1 blue IRK bag
@Kyeh@rcwbbb
That is a very nice stockpot!
I almost bought one of those strainers too, but I really didn’t need a extra thing to fit in my already stuffed cupboards! Plus, I’m not the one cooking anymore.
@Kidsandliz@rcwbbb
Lol I’m all set thanks, I gave away almost 2 cases of TrackRs, 6 boxes of 2 to go!
Those two colors of paint could make a pretty wild art project, some sort of contest might be interesting! 🩷
@Kyeh I know someone who can fix that for you.

It looked like there was one desirable item, the “Wise Owl Outfitters 30-Liter Backpack Cooler,” but it turned out that the inner lining is torn away from the outside on both corners.
Maybe as a suggestion, there was also a roll of Alien tape, although it’s the wrong kind. But I do have the repair kind as well, so maybe I’ll try to fix it. Also in the box:
Size S men’s undies & Size 2XL women’s PJs; both to be given away.
And the nice Sky blue Meh bag with yellow print, best thing in this box!
@sillyheathen Really?
@Kyeh yep. But you need to come to Oregon.


not sure if it would be worth shipping it here and me shipping it back. Granted postage wouldn’t be terribly egregious. Though I’d definitely send you a box with extra things in it on its return journey.
@sillyheathen
Hmmmm! Thanks for offer, can I think about it a bit?
@Kyeh but of course!
@Kyeh

@Ignorant Oh, that’s PERFECT!

It even has a tiny eye.
Wow, the woman in the banner image must have gotten a really really bad Irk!
@Kyeh you mean a regular Irk?
/giphy bump

Okay, here’s the best I’ve got. Please forgive me for the bad photos.
The first photo is a Cusinart 10 cup Core Custom food processor It looks like the box was kicked around the block a couple of times, but it has pretty good packing, so maybe it’s okay. I’ll check it out later.
I also got the lovely sky blue IRK bag with yellow lettering. It’s very pretty.
The next photo is the Cuisinart food processor wearing its new and favorite purple bra. A perfect fit!

I’m sorry, I think I’ve taken up a lot of room here, but thank you very much, Meh, for the IRK.
@Barney that’s a rad score my purple friend.
@sillyheathen It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a Purple. I’m so happy!
@Barney Very Nice!
Oops, it threw off the bra. Oh, well. Maybe next time?
@Barney Darn. I wanted to see the purple bra. Was that in the Irk too?
OK, @Kyeh, here’s a pic of the purple bra just for you. EVERYONE ELSE CLOSE YOUR EYES! (Yes, it was in the IRK.)
@Barney
Wow!!! Thanks, that’s … very attractive! 
@Kyeh
@Barney

@Ignorant Shame on you!
@Barney I had to peek. Sorry.
@Ignorant Sure you are…
Y’all… I hit the MEH IRK lottery!!

Got this gorgeous Calphalon pot & pan set!
I hit JackPOTS!!! 



Thank you @meh 🥹
@GzBiH Happy cooking!!!
@GzBiH @Kyeh Awesome. This and luggage are my dream and yet to receive IRKs. Sorry for suggesting you start the Reveal thread. Didn’t look close enough to see that @Kyeh had already started one.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@Kyeh oh I wanted these so much but they’re always out of my budget. I’m so grateful to the Meh team who sent me these. 🥹 Most definitely I’ll be cooking, only for good looking.
@Kyeh @rcwbbb it’s okay, I was way too excited that I wasn’t reading all of the comments.
I hope you get what you wish for 

@GzBiH It’s wonderful that you actually wanted them; it’s always sad when someone gets a “unicorn” Irk, but isn’t excited about it.
@rcwbbb - I hope you get a dream Irk too!
@GzBiH You really hit the jackpot on this one. I got a Calphalon stockpot but it was their classic line. You got the premium line with your select by Calphalon cookware.
I got the power brick, underwear, a charging stand…
And a big ticket kitchen appliance!
A Dorothy coffee brewer!
Pre -opened!
It’ll go perfectly with the two I ordered! During the Mehrathon!
(It’s honestly a pretty nice French press, so if it doesn’t do well cold, I may try hot water. What do I have to lose!
@brainmist Turns out it does a solid, if super gimmicky (‘TORNADO!!!’), cold brew.
Now what to do with the ones I actually ordered…?
I got a massaging wrap type thingie, a pair of size small boxers, a roll of alien tape and a blue irk bag. Meh.
@Pony I got a massage wrap and it actually works pretty well l
These are mine from the last merathone, I had really bad tendinitis so I didn’t upload my pics.
@Star2236 Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!
@brainmist
Thanks, it’s starting to feel better.
@Star2236
The coffee machine is definity my favorite. Thanks meh for all the great stuff.
@Star2236 Wow. Two nice IRKs in a row. I’ll bet this was meh’s way of saying “Thank You” for organizing a great 2025 meh-exchange.
@rcwbbb @Star2236 I got that LED strip several years ago in an irk. They must have found one under all the shelves or something.
@rcwbbb
I was actually thinking about doing another type one for stuff from your your hometown.
@Star2236 What’s the metal thing in the top right box?

/giphy whats in the box
@brainmist It’s a fan:
(Hope you don’t mind me answering for you, @Star2236!)
@rcwbbb @Star2236 Honestly, I feel like organizers of exchanges should get some special gifty. it’s a whole lot of work for love of the site.
@brainmist @rcwbbb
The fan is awesome. It puts out a lot of air for such a little fan and it’s quite too.
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
@Star2236 That’s a great idea. I like it. I got carried away by sending an IRK box AND a hometown box in the last meh-exchange. One box in the next meh-exchange. Things don’t always have to be bigger in Texas.
I got a big box with a big hole in it. Guessing anything worth getting in this irk was removed. Arm fit nicely in hole to fish around. What remained was a blue irk bag, purple shoulder sling bad (like a fanny pack but for your shoulder?) And a knife. I have pictures but don’t remember how to upload them.
ahh, i just had to do it from my computer instead of my phone.

@GBrunner321 Looks like you got one of those LED face mask things too?
@Kyeh oops, yes, i thought i typed that in but clearly shouldn’t do this posting from my phone!
@GBrunner321 I got one of those some time ago but haven’t tried it; I keep meaning to, although I’m dubious about its effectiveness.
Got mine yesterday but the heat index was 115 (I volunteer at a food bank on Wednesdays and while we pack boxes inside we hand them out outside) and I was wiped out by the time I got home… so am finally getting around to posting.

@Kidsandliz This is probably too obvious but does it need charging?
@brainmist That is the first thing I did. All the lights show the charge is finished. It just won’t turn on no matter how long (or short) you press the on button.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I have gotten a lot of broken things in irks over the years. This I wasn’t expecting to be broken as the box was in decent shape and appeared to be unopened. I guess meh achieved a meh irk for me. Congrats meh. You succeeded.

Cool mirror but I’m afraid to look at my face under 10x magnification. Thanks though, I’ll keep the alien tape.

@cbilyak
What is so special about alien tape? I’ve never tried it.
@Star2236 it sticks really well and is strong.
@cbilyak @Star2236 There’s two kinds, though - the repair kind, and the “attach things to the wall (or other things)” kind.
Just got mine, I got
Thanks MEH I’m really happy with mine. Anything to make cleaning/cooking easier is always welcome in my house.
I just got mine, a steam mop that is missing the steamer part of it so the rest is useless… and a black Meh bag and a cracked CD… this is total crap for almost 50 bucks when you include shipping and tax. I think I am completely cured of ever buying another one of these
Mine was supposed to be delivered today but methinks it will be tomorrow. Either way, I’m not holding high hopes. It’s best with these things.
Got mine a day late. Fedex said it was to be delivered yesterday, but it was 200+ miles away from my city at 9 pm. Don’t know what it is with them lately; incorrect delivery status, long travels in the opposite direction of my city, predicted delivery dates missed with “we’ll update when your package starts moving again” and that status still current after delivery.
Anyway… here’s my IRK

and the piecè de la résistence…
Here are closeups of the charm and the note. Can anyone translate the note?

All in all… no regret!
@ItalianScallion Google Translate gives this info on your note:
@MrGoodGuy Thanks! I don’t know what the repaint thing could mean, but there were two pieces of cardboard in there that are about the size indicated. I guess Kingdee is the brand name.
Can Google Translate scan an image looking for text?
@ItalianScallion You’re welcome! Yes, Google can scan an image and translate any text it finds in the image! Just upload the photo and select the area you want and click the Translate prompt. It’s really pretty neat how they’re able to do that! If you can get a closeup of the writing under Kingdee you could try to translate that. Good luck!
@ItalianScallion @MrGoodGuy I think the last part reads 1504 copies
Also, I’ve been feeding @Star2236 my gummies.
@ItalianScallion @MrGoodGuy @pakopako
I’m good on gummies now, thank you.
@ItalianScallion
That shovel bag is really cool.
@Star2236 Yeah, I think so too. I was going to offer to send you my whole box of gummies, but I guess not.
@ItalianScallion @MrGoodGuy @pakopako @Star2236 I’m sending star a special gel. This could get interesting!
@ItalianScallion @MrGoodGuy also I could engrave that for you with the lasers!
@Star2236
I put all the stuff in its bag and there’s still loads of room, so I suppose I’ll put my “emergency” car kit contents in that instead of the plastic box I’ve been using. A bag can be squished and crammed into available space, after all.
@MrGoodGuy @pakopako @sillyheathen @Star2236
Hmmm… I got a bottle of “special gel” in my July IRK. Maybe I should send that to her too!
@milstarr my irk was a medium red polo brand shirt, a travelon backpack in forest green, 1 bag of gummies, 1 bag of foam gummies, a box of under eye patches, and the blue and yellow irk bag. The Travelon backpack is nice but I can’t really carry things on my back anymore. (Arthritis in my spine.)

@klynb
At least you had a nice little distraction with your IRK. Nice pan, enjoy!


Oh no, not Covid!
Feel better!
I’ve found the notebook cover can fit a small 7" tablet. Not quite well, but the rubber band latches the thing shut if you remember to stuff it back in.
Also, that rod is magnetized. My keys keep sticking to it.
@pakopako I’d think having a tablet next to a magnet would “attract” damage to the tablet.
My IRK arrived yesterday and this is what I got…




*One 2.7 fl oz. bottle of St. Tropez face bronzing self tanning spray. I’ve tried it on my inner wrist before I go to my face, still waiting to see what color I turn.
*One red notebook cover to add to my collection.

Dutch oven pot? Some variant where it’s part of a stacking system like this one – https://www.ebay.com/itm/234388010050
Your theory that it could be part of a set is viable:

@Lynnerizer I was going to ask if it was part of a double boiler/steamer set up.
That would be my thought.
@sillyheathen @pakopako
It’s sold individually in a teflon/nonstick version so it’s probably sold individually in this one too! 
Yes that’s what I was thinking. Apparently it’s part of their stackable line. I did get a whisper about it so I’ve stopped obsessing. Lol
Le sigh
No culinary happiness for the crazy Oregonian kid. Though everyone else is happy with the contents. So regret is meh?
@sillyheathen What’s in the plastic bag with the barcode?
@sillyheathen Kyeh is looking for another purple bra.
@Barney my youngest loves your posts because she is a lover of all things purple. She immediately claimed the straightening iron.
@Kyeh I’m not sure. I’m about to look it up.
@sillyheathen Aw, you are raising such a good kid!
@Barney she is pretty great. She wants to be an astronaut and make art in space.
@sillyheathen Space could use some purple art. I take it she has her mother’s talent.
@Barney methinks she’s going to far surpass her momma! Actually all three of them are wildly creative and love art. Not that it’s a surprise. It kind of runs in the family. My mum is also an artist as were many of my McMichael relatives.
@sillyheathen
@Barney @sillyheathen Naah, I’m okay without a purple bra, but thanks.
@Barney @Kyeh ![enter image description here][1]
This is the mystery item. There are six I think.

@Barney @sillyheathen
Huh! Useful, I guess?
@Barney @Kyeh they will be in the new shop for sure.
First one worth posting in awhile.
Cuisinart stand mixer, box and packaging totally destroyed, but all the pieces were there and still in original plastic bags and it works. I don’t need a stand mixer since I have a kitchenaid in storage, but this has a slightly smaller profile so may get used.
Blue irk bag
Carbon monoxide detector that says my bedroom has 0ppm
Earbuds
Pair of small boxers sealed for freshness
@metaphore
What is the first thing you’ll be making?
Nice score on the new mixer!
@Lynnerizer If I can find somewhere in the kitchen it can fit, probably pizza dough. Maybe see if the more narrow but taller bowl will do some of the smaller recipes that never worked out right in the kitchenaid
@Lynnerizer @metaphore Pizza dough can be made in a multiple-crust batch, divided, carefully wrapped, and frozen. Thawing is a bit interesting; I find that this works better when the dough is frozen as a disc than a ball. But as I more often make personal pizzas using a tortilla or flatbread as the crust, I don’t make fresh dough very often. (OTOH, pizza dough with garlic, herb and butter topping makes a really good flatbread that can also be frozen and reheated, so…)
@metaphore
Veggie pizza would be my first choice. 
That sounds great! I’ve been thinking about making homemade pizzas recently, I think it’s because I’m seeing ads for toaster ovens that can fit different size pizzas.
@Lynnerizer @metaphore
I have the Ninja Toaster Oven Air Fryer and I like it a lot:
@Kyeh @metaphore
My goodness so many different models, 6 in 1, an 8 in 1, and a 9 in 1! I had looked at this one but I didn’t remember so many choices of basically the same oven! I like the way you can lift it up to save space on your countertop. We can’t spare too much of that, it’s prime real estate! Lol
I got one of those stand mixers an IRK or two ago. The front plate comes off and will take all my KitchenAid attachments (of which I have way too many).
It does tend to get hot if you use it for a long time, but it’s a solid tool. I recently extruded a ton a bucatini and it worked flawlessly despite getting quite warm. And my daughter has made a metric shit ton of cookies since it landed.
But it is weird to have two stand mixers in my already crowded kitchen. Although now I can now wreck my kitchen in a much more efficient fashion
I’m late with my post, it arrived this week but it’s been a busy week.
My IRK contained:
Thanks, Meh!
@djslack

I kinda like that your bag/purse is so small! It would definitely keep me from bringing everything but the kitchen sink the way I always have with my oversized gigantic purses that I’ve carried forever!
Meh must have a good size section dedicated for those size small boxers we’ve been seeing lately. I’m betting they’re going to be the new TrackR for 2025/26. I’ve already gotten 3 of them, each in a different color! I gave them to our 10 year old grandson, he’s the only person small enough to possibly fit in them, still waiting to hear how that went.
Looking at it now I don’t know why I didn’t call it a skibidi wallet. Though there are probably three people on this site who would get that, and two of them would tell me I did it wrong.
@djslack it’s way too big to hold the digital currency I have in my portfolio
@djslack
Well I just had a very interesting read… I can now consider myself schooled on skibidi!
Got early this weekend.

Super lightweight box this time:
Puffy eyes masky thing.
SCJ hoop earrings.
Polo shirt.
Shorts.
IRK bag.
/giphy meh fun

@fjp999
Earrings look nice.
Received 1-1/2 weeks ago. That’s how excited I am about this IRK.
1 Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized 6 qt. Stock Pot with Lid. It either lost its box as standalone cookware (came wrapped in a plastic bag) or lost its family of 10 piece cookware set on SideDeal.com. In either way, it’s a nice orphan stock pot that I’ll use.
1 Cable Knit Slouchy Beanie. Have 3 from required purchases in prior IRKs.
1 Comfort Republic brief size S. I’ve seen a lot of people getting these and this is my second consecutive IRK to have this. Think @Lynnerizer is right. These have got to be the new TrackRs. Or at least the new acrylic paint.
1 Rekonect notebook cover. Waiting for meh to sell the magnetic pages. This is the second notebook in as many IRKs so I’m not holding my breath.
1 blue IRK bag
Thank you meh.

@rcwbbb you can always make your own magnetic pages with paperclips.
@pakopako
@rcwbbb I like that strainer feature on the rim and lid of the pot.
@Kyeh I have pots but none with a strainer as part of the lid. Almost bought this at Target.
https://www.target.com/p/cheer-collection-heat-resistant-snap-on-pot-strainer/-/A-89948552?preselect=89948551#lnk=sametab
But this strainer is so much nicer and compact, not another separate piece I need to look for and clean.
@Kyeh @rcwbbb
Plus, I’m not the one cooking anymore. 
That is a very nice stockpot!
I almost bought one of those strainers too, but I really didn’t need a extra thing to fit in my already stuffed cupboards!
@rcwbbb It’s a great feature - I wish I had that on my pots! I use a separate handheld strainer - those rubbery things look like a hassle.
@rcwbbb

Ha! IDK if I should even say this but I have yet to receive a single bottle of acrylic paint!
@Lynnerizer
@rcwbbb


I know, right!
@Lynnerizer @rcwbbb Hmm I have a number of them I can give you. Glitter pink and crayon green mostly. I’ll toss in a few free trackers as well.
@Kidsandliz @rcwbbb
I’m all set thanks, I gave away almost 2 cases of TrackRs, 6 boxes of 2 to go! 

Lol
Those two colors of paint could make a pretty wild art project, some sort of contest might be interesting! 🩷
Yep, I’m very late:
