Ärende: color of dishes?
========================
Hi Ruth,

-> I figured as much.  No, the kitchen was painted in the early 60s so it
-> was pink, not terra cotta. I'm not even sure if my mom would know it as
-> a color now.

 RH> It sounds like it's time for a redo.

It is, but I don't think it'll happen any time soon. Most of the house
could use a redo actually but I think it'll happen after my parents are
gone.

-> We will do some rejuggling of space but I think I know where they will
-> get stowed. I'm not sure how big a set (# of settings, extra pieces,
-> etc) it is, and it's hand wash only.

 RH> Of course.  My mom's is marked that too, but she has always put it in
 RH> the dishwasher.  The gold rim is still intact, but she only uses it
 RH> once or twice a year.

I understand this has a gold rim also, don't remember what color Mom
said that the dishes are. It also means that it's not microwaveable.
But, for good china, you've got to make some sacrifices.  Nice thing
about china is that it's lighter weight than the ironstone we used to
have but I don't know how it compares to the Corelle we have now.  I
think my parents are happier with the ligher weight Corelle than the
Pyrex they used to have (and still have bits floating around).

-> And fermented pineapple can be really ripe. (G)

 RH> This was brown, and parts were turning white.  Down the disposal it
 RH> went.

To nobody's sorrow. Don't let it get so ripe next time.

Catch you later,
