Not sure about here but a 90 day will help alot and we think we can get that.

I have the 2 nice sets, one I got, one Don got for me (not knowing yet I had
the other) which set 8 each and oddly, match a bit.  I can set 16 with them if
i need to but both are in storage as I was not taking them here (neither are
microwave compatible).  I shipped no dishes other than an accidental plate or
so because I pretty much knew with a 5 month time, I'd have to get something
here.  Have a decent corellware set for 4 and some stray bits donated by
others as well as some neat piece bits of asian look I get here for 100 yen
each.

RH> And as I recall, you could have brought more than you did.

*sigh* yes, considerably more.  It will almost be like my private shopping mall
'for free' when I get back all I stored!  There's lots of stuff in there that
I didnt bring and have wanted since (some replaced, some not).  Most of what
is there that hasnt been replaced, is things you'd use in a big oven like my V
shaped rack in a deep pan for slow roasting a rubbed pork shoulder.  (I'll
look as I probably just ran into a rule here where I have to post my old
recipe if i still have it in MM).  Lost here was my big pizza deep dish pan
when it came by accident (should have been stored) and Don left it tucked by
the old Cho apartment stove (that one was too small ti fit it inside the stove
but any normal USA stove would have managed it and the one I have here in
housing is normal sized).

I'm not very up on that type of cuisine but I do make a bread dipping of olive
oil and balsamic vinigar with a little romano grated in.  Had it at a
restraunt once and much liked it.  It sorta stuck with me.
