We have these bowls that we registered for as part of our place settings when we got married. I'll come back to that, but first, a slight detour.
Setting up a registry is one of the fun parts of wedding planning because it's one of the few times as an adult where you can make a list of things you want and explicitly ask people to buy them for you.
As an example, I wanted to register for this:
This is the Holy Grail of Wedding Presents - the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. My husband balked because it is on the expensive side. He said no one would buy that for us. I said, "Stand back and watch." He said, "Maybe someone on your side, someone who has money".
I got it at my Bridal Shower. From his Aunt.
Anyway.
Back to our bowls.
I decided we should get rid of over very serviceable sets of Corelle plates and get this great stuff from Crate and Barrel. We especially love the bowls:
But they break, and chip, and although I have replaced a few of them over the years, the last time I broke one, I thought... it might be time to go back to Corelle.
And then Saturday, as I was meandering through the grocery store, I saw that they had the ones I wanted, and I bought six of them.
Corelle, by the way, is a laminated glass product that is nearly impossible to break.
So, that's what passes for excitement these days.
And I still love my stand mixer.
And you. I love you.
