MissM complains that we are
The Only Family in The World
where the china is individually named.
We have The Croissant Plate,
The Roast Chicken Plate,
The Breakfast Plates
and The Creme Caramel Plates.
And that is before we start on items with handles...
And now I must introduce you to
The Biscotti Plate
which was purchased in Cornwall
just hours before I met Diana
who gave me a jar of delicious handmade biscotti.
Imagine the trauma for all concerned
if I had not had a suitable plate!
I hope that Walter approves.
Thank you, Diana,
I had the most lovely evening talking blog-shop.
I don't think I have ever done that before.
I can remember blushing furiously
when I met Kristina and being quite unable
to say the name of my blog out loud.
That was eighteen months ago
and now I am brave enough to admit
in a public place
that I write and publish my work on the internet.
How times have changed.

What a lovely plate! It looks perfect for biscotti! I read about the meeting yesterday, so fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you - I remember being too shy (yes me!) to admit that I had a blog.
ReplyDeleteAs for the naming of the plates?
It pleases me enormously.
While biscotti plate pleases me, I would very much like to see creme caramel plate one day when I come to visit you for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you name your plates.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.... having pondered this for some seconds I feel sure we do not have named plates or other items of kitchen paraphenalia but know most of the garden equipment is named, eg Larry the loppers, baby Larry (oh except the lawn mower! how strange, perhaps that should be remedied?. And all new computery type equipment - New sat nav Kate, Stephanie the Selphy Printer, Jane (old sat nav) and Nancy - the little Dell Axims, etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteFunctionally named plates? Nah, you tell Miss M that doesn't seem odd at all ;-)
We have individually named china too...the pumpkin pie plates, the pancake plates...So please assure Miss M you're not the only ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought you seemed so confident about your blog!

There's only one plate in our house with a special name and that's the chipped one which both boys complain about if they get. I clearly need to up my game.
ReplyDeleteThe naming of plates sounds less of a difficult matter than The Naming of Cats, unless they have three different names too? x
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the perfect plate for biscotti. Look like pretty good biscotti too!
ReplyDeletethere's nothing wrong with named plates. I think it's a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the named plates too! Miss M should be grafeful they have elegant names, next time she complains you should threaten to call one the fluffy wuffy toasty woasty plate!
ReplyDeleteand as for being brave to talk about your blog, you should be shouting it from the rooftops xx
You're giving me ideas here! And a perfect plate for the biscotti, too. My word verification today is stival..almost perfect, and appropriate!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's quite normal to name plates. Maybe it should become obligatory?
ReplyDeleteTracey
clearly I am classless. I have been eating biscotti straight out of the cupboard.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started reading this post I was thinking you meant names like Norman or Geoffrey! Could just eat some of that biscotti.
ReplyDeleteNice plate! (But just exactly how much cupboard space do you have?)
ReplyDeletestrangely MasterM and MissM have names too
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plate!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your plates...they're all so striking.
Great. Now I want some Biscotti, too.
PS-Coffee Lady always makes me laugh.
PPS-I'm still too shy to mention my blog.
In our house we have the chipped white plates, the unchipped white plates, and the unseasonal Christmas plates. Clearly I need remedial plate shopping classes ...
ReplyDeleteI have ONE spoon that belonged to my Grammy, the only grandparent I knew. She passed away when I was a little girl, but I remember her very fondly. Grammy's spoon is dedicated to one purpose: stirring up the nectar for my hummingbird feeder.
