It was a miserable, cold, wet rainy day here. I can live with it because
the grass is green and growing, trees are coming out in leaf and the
fruit trees are blossoming. It seemed like a good day to go out and get
new dishes. My wife was not too excited about my project. We just got
new everyday dishes about a year and a half ago, but we didn't get what
we really wanted and ended up with one that neither of us hated. We had
managed to lose three plates, and most of the others were chippped.....
cheap Chinese crap.

Today it was toss up between one of two patterns of Denby or Royal
Dalton Pacific. The Denby was twice as much per 16 piece setting, and
we needed two, so we opted for the Royal Dalton.


Dinner is in the oven and I am looking forward to a nice meal of braised
lamb shanks on our new dishes.
