Top of the morning to ya :)
First a couple notes about last night’s post…
1) I had not seen the Double Down burger you guys speak of, but I had to look it up and wow is all I can say. One reason I am glad we don’t have cable? ;) I guess we can call my lunch a healthy vegan double down?
2) As I mentioned, I am getting a new helmet, have no fear!

The Banana Cashew Cream Sauce was divine! I had one horrible sleep last night, but I was so happy during breakfast. :)
I mentioned on the weekend that Eric has a strong disliking for my ‘blog’ dishware.
I have lots of random bowls and plates that I like to use for blog photography. They are girly, frilly, bold, bright, and albeit tacky at times.
Eric has grown annoyed with each piece I add to the collection because they are cluttering our cupboards to no end…
Let me show you the good first, just so you don’t think I am some crazy dish lady…
We hoard wine glasses.
Actually the wine glasses are from my Wedding Shower- we bought 20 glasses from Wal-Mart for $20- they were about the same price as the plastic ones so we got the glass and got to keep them! :)
Plates…
One of these things is not like the other… :mrgreen:
And then all hell breaks loose…
Hello, my name is Angela and I am a Crazy Dish Lady.
This is what Eric refers to as B.S.- My Blogging Stash, of course.
I swear the blog did this to me. I was never this crazy before!
My bowls have overflowed onto my green monster shelf…
You know what I realized? I don’t need the other cupboard! Take that husband, with your high and mighty matching Debbie Travis dishware. I like having my bowls next to protein powder anyways.
Moral of the story: Annoy your significant other. Play with your food. ‘Nough said.
Today’s question: Are you a crazy dish lady? Do you like buying fun plates, utensils, bowls, or strange kitchen gadgets? Or do you have a thrill for collecting some other item you’d like to tell me about?
I know I’m not alone… ;) Fess up!
I have a few extra fun plates for my kids, but I’m more of a crazy cookbook collector. I have too many kitchen gadgets too, like an avacado peeler? I love your collection of plates, bowls, etc. It does jazz up the photos.
I buy crazy ass dishes form the thrift store ALL the time. YOu go girl! :)

HAHAHA that is hilarious! I love it. I have definitely bought a lot of dishes since I started blogging so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one. I think a lot of bloggers are like this so don’t feel alone! It’s wonderful and makes for great pictures!
I LOVE dishes and plates! Our apartment is far too tiny to have too many, but I can’t help it, at places like Winners – I go mad. I almost bought little heart shaped ramekins (pink white and red!!!) after V Day, but had to stop myself because I knew a)I had nowhere to put them and b)the rational part of me knew that my regular ol’ white round ramekins still did the trick. :(
I LOVE dishware though. I’ve now gone into purchasing serving dishes so we can go out on the deck and eat. Or at least – that’s my excuse!
Now excuse me, while I go partake in Winner’s new set of red and white cherry blossom dishware >.>
I always make my boyfriend start eating while I am taking pictures of my meal. He gets sooooo annoyed that I am going to end up eating something cold, but then he will wait to eat and it will be cold too! Oh, what to do when you love a blogger :)
Haha I clear out my dishes all the time when it gets overwhelming. Goodwill is a great place to drop them off at but I always want to buy more when I get there!
Totally became the same way since blogging! I don’t plate as much as I used to, but I look at dishes in a whole new light and have a separate cabinet for my plates, napkins & placemats- a whole set of single servings! :D
Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I needed tto ask.
