Service for 8

Most of our dinnerware is made of china. I think it's nice because it's easy to clean them. Although it can be broken, but being careful can avoid it. Easy to clean is important for me.

My sister and I used to use this oriental market to get our produce... they had fabulous produce at fabulous prices, then one day we found a box of dishes there that were a blue design... hehehe, all these years I've been using them I still don't know what the design is, but I really love the size of them! That's why I have kept them so long, and continue to use them. They are not as big as most dinner plates, which works well for me because I cannot have a plate that doesn't have food covering every part of it. But ultimately what I'd like to eat on are pottery plates that I make. I love making pottery. Not that I have done it in years, and I would need a kiln. I would paint carrots and stuff on them I think. Or lilacs. I don't know why I love dishes with lilacs on them but I do. Plus when you break a pottery dish that you have made yourself, you can easily make a replacement for it!

It kind of depends on what we are eating. If it's a meal like dinner or something we usually use stoneware. If it's just sloppy joes or pizza or tacos we just use paper plates.

I have a nice set of China. It is a place setting for 8. I do enjoy using this set whenever I get a chance.

We use a stoneware dinner set from Linen and Things and its just plain black. Nothing fancy and its microwave and dishwasher safe:)

Our everyday dinnerware is a stoneware set. It is a colorful striped pattern. Sort of mexican looking. Corelle is nice but I don't own any. In the summertime we use a lot of paper plates.

My husband and I normally use our Corelle set. I'm not sure which pattern it is, but its plain except for a dark blue line that goes around the border of the plates/bowls. My kids have their own plastic sets that they use, my younger daughter uses a Spongebob set and my older daughter uses a Hello Kitty set.

My everyday service is Corelle that was my mom's. Before that I had Pzaltzgraff (sp?). That was from my first marriage, I had service for 12. We were smart when we did our bridal registery - I did not register for fine china just stoneware and we got 12 place settings plus a lot of the accessories. That held up for over 15 years, and I did give it away to make room in the dining room. A lot of nights I do use paperplates, to save time cleaning up the dishes, since I try not to use the dishwasher that much. I do have my mom's china for my girls for when they get older.

I use glass dishes.....that have fruit on the edges....I bought them because they have cherries on the edge and that is my accent in the kitchen.....and I love them even though they are getting old! When I bought them I emailed the company that makes them and told them how much I loved the dishes.....they emailed back..."We are loved"...it was a family joke for a while! LOL

We have our foods in Stainless Steel plates. We have different sizes for each one of us. DH have a large oval plate, me have a round one. Both the kids have their own silver plates. But I do have special dinner sets when we entertain. They are made of Corelle and I also have a dinner set made of Stainless Steel too. A full 60 piece set.

We use a China set which was given by my sister in law. Patterns are in blue and I don't know if this one has a certain brand I just know it's kind of expensive. We have ordinary plates but my husband prefer using this.
