Tonight’s topic: dishware

The curmudgeon knows that shouldn’t be much of a topic for the repor, but here are his observations:

Living the gay, carefree life of a single guy, I bought a 4 (6?) piece setting of that indestructible Corelle

The curmudgeon’s dear wife wanted to go upscale, so we have now something like 14 sets of dishware – don’t laugh – I can count.  There are the two “everyday” ones (somehow one everyday one couldn’t quite cut it), of course the formal entertaining ones, the pink depression glass set, the fiesta ware, the special divided plates for beans & franks nights, two assorted bowl collections that still baffle me, the Chinese-night collection, and don’t make me go into the entire extra china cabinet we bought for the rest – the dishware count can only grow

Myself, paper plates are perfectly fine

And, of course, Corelle
