Dishes Galore!

[fancytalk]

I've spent my morning reorganizing all of my dishes. Let me rephrase, not reorganizing the dishes I use everyday, but my dish-junkie collection.

I really need a china cabinet. I say this after parting with (much pain *gasp*) 4 other sets when we moved into this house. Of course my other addiction is serving bowls and plates. Luckily RTL didn't make me part with all my china and pottery children.

Why didn't I do this when we moved in? RTL did, but her mom has since sent us the rest of Mamete's wedding china. Which I had precariously balanced with the rest of the dishes, so I decided it was time. I also deemed it necessary to have a sugar bowl out for my morning tea. I thought I would have some small coverable container to keep a wee bit of sugar in and not the humongous canister. Out of all my addictions, not a single one. I guess I could have used a tupperware container but that's just so plastic. So I going to actually use one of my pretty pieces. But that involved the reorganization of The Dish Cabinet. After all that hard work I have decided that I need more dishes.

I can hear RTL now freaking out because I'm on the hunt for more dishes. My argument is that you can always use more dishes. Besides, the first set of dishes that her mom sent, most of it ended up in the trash because of the packaging method or lack thereof. I still shed tears over the horror of opening that box. *sniff* More dishes probably aren't necessary. We do have 2 basically complete sets of dishes. I should use the ones that we have more often. I also have to leave room for the ones at my mom's house. I've got my sugar bowl out and it's in use, so I'm just going to be happy about that.

I also deemed it necessary to have a sugar bowl out for my morning tea.

Why? The proper sweetner for tea is honey. Plus, if you keep sugar out for monring consumption, there's too much of a risk that it will end up in the grits. That, of course, is an abomination.

I need sugar.
I would keel over dead without sugar.

Besides I have to be in the mood for honey in my tea. Although I like the honey on my toast with the tea.

There is no risk of sugar in the grits if the grits are not made. However, I am now going to consider the merits of honey and grits. That will be my next grit experiment. *hee hee*

Do you like honey on your wheat toast with tea for breakfast? Because then you would truly be my culinary soulmate. And Lord knows I have not found that person in everything-tastes-better-with-bacon (and cheese), sugar-is-an-abomination-to-the-grit, guacamole-and-coconut-are-from-the-devil, caramel-hating drmellow.

Does it count as wheat toast if it's sprouted wheat toast? I think it should. So then yes, I like honey on my wheat toast in the morning.

I can handle the everything tastes better with bacon and cheese.
I can even handle that drmellow believes sugar is an abomination to the grit.
But to insult guacamole and coconut like that. *gasp* And everyone knows that caramel makes everything taste better.

I'm cool with the sprouted wheat toast. I'm not that particular. It just can't be plain white bread.

About once a year, around drmellow's birthday (coincidence?), I threaten to make a coconut cake layered with guacamole frosting and caramel drizzled on top. With bleu cheese ice cream on the side.

So it would be a bad thing if we decided to send some California grown avocados and Point Reyes blue cheese.
*eyes gleam with evil deeds yet to be done*

Depends on which one of us you ask. I'd be totally down with that assortment!

I bet you don't like kettle corn either.

Kettle corn is yummy!

Quelle surprise!

Now I've run out of things to make fun about.
