~ * May 2006 Roll Call * ~

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone. This is Denise Webber in Audubon, IA. I've been on maternity

leave, so haven't been on the computer much. For those of you who know me, I'm

doing great and baby Juniper is already 9 1/2 weeks old. She just had her two

month check up and already weighs 12 lbs 11oz! That mama juice is treating her

right!

 

Color/pattern of our dinner ware: handmade pottery, some are blue with swirls

of color and some are burgandy. James bought them at the Oregon Country Fair.

 

I'll be starting work soon, May 22; but before that we are flying to Portland,

OR for 10 days to visit all of our friends.

 

cheers,

Denise

Thanks to everyone for the recipes.

Unfortunately, plain white, very solid, everyday " china " which came with my

husband via his mother. We eloped and never asked for, nor really received, any

wedding gifts like china, bedding, appliances, or whatever it is that newlyweds

require. However, my Italian MIL is very practical about her own kitchen goods

and she is always collecting stuff from garage sales...then foisting it onto us.

My goal this year is buy locally made, preferably well crafted,

multi-coloured plates, bowls, mugs, etc so that my hubby and I finally have

dishware that fits *us*, not the MIL. ;-)

 

Oddly enough, I am also a 'bowl' user and *never* use my husband's china (I

always think of it as 'his', not 'mine'!). I bought myself a couple of big,

cheap Chinese bowls - the kind with the blue fish painted on - and I use those

for *everything*...with chopsticks, naturally. I like to be completely opposite

to the Italian family I married into, just because I like to be different! *lol*

 

Good role call, BTW

3. What color are your plates ~ china pattern? Instead of China, when

we got married we registered with my studio mate, Darryl Berry, who

does fused glass. All of our plates and bowls were designed by us,

made by him in bright sky blues and indigo. They are all square and

have different sizes of indigo squares around the corners. We love,

love, love them:)

Hi Gayle,

 

I see you share my love for coffee mugs! My mug is a very important part

of the morning when I first get up! It needs to be big enough to hold a

good cup of coffee with about half a cup of soymilk added to it, and it

needs to have a good bottom on it so it can balance on the sofa cushion

while I'm turning the pages of the paper. It also needs to be

substanstial enough that I don't worry about breaking it when I set it

down on the tile floor by the chair I end up sitting in when my husband

gets to the sofa first before me! LOL....!! But, on the other hand, I

don't want it so thick that it's uncomfortable to sip out of it. And, of

course, I want it to be pretty to look at!

 

Here's a little confession--when we have company visiting, I always get a

little proprietary about my few personal favorite coffee cups....and I

kind of...well....put them at the back of the shelf so they can't be

seen. A few times a visitor has ferreted one out, and inside I was

thinking " you can't use that! That's *my* coffee cup! " Outside, I was

all smiles! I don't feel this sense of possessiveness about any of my

other dishes!

You guys are too funny. My favorite mugs are my large campbell soup mugs

collection. We use them for soup, cereal and hot drinks all the time. They

are of a decent size for any of the above.

I love mugs. I have cut way down on my coffee consumption but I still love

my mugs.

I have a mug I bought must be 10 years ago now from the Renaissance Faire

that is my favorite.

A lot of my mugs are put away as we just don't have the place for them and I

am not home that much.

 

I used to think it was fun to give relatives my pregnant cup to drink from.

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic, fabulous Friday.

What a cool idea, Paul! I always just eat out of the pan to save

myself having to do dishes (hmm, lazy much? LOL) but now that you've

given me the idea of using the lid, I have twice as many plates as I

thought I had!!

When we're actually using plates, they are usually the orange, hot

pink, and yellow plastic picnic plates from Target LOL! With 5 kids, I

gotta have unbreakable! I do have a breakable set that was my

grandma's. White with little green vines and orange/yellow flowers -

nothing fancy. I mainly like that it was my grandma's

 

Like my dish categories? Breakable and unbreakable

Are they supposed to match? With 4 kids I don't have much matching

anything.

Let's see, some are dark blue, some are white, some are plastic with

cartoon characters, my favorite are plastic with fish on them.

I have my grandmother's set that are white with a purple flower and gold

edging, but we don't use those, ever.
