i'm way too excited about dinnerware

I Y PFALTZGRAFF!!!!!

i take back all the bad stuff i've said and blog fighting with my mom. she gave me this awesome set of dishes!!! They are the "folk art" pattern and i am signing up for some kind of registry so people can go buy me more of this stuff!

there's even a little container for my packs of splenda, and these pieces on the right for god know's what!

my favorite is this dumb little heart shaped bowl. i was so excited to eat leftover spatzles in it!!!

notice my cool michael myers tshirt. also, mom, what are spatzles?

now that i have these cool plates, i need to make room for them. they are large and heavy and it's a huge set. so i am moving the spices i don't regularly use. i decided to "think outside the box" and put them in a cabinet in an old easter gift bag. i am a super genius!

these are the spices i am keeping in the cupboard. i was suprised to see i have "cheesy popcorn seasoning" as well as "cheese flavored seasoning- cheesoning". i'm so confused!!!!! and there's no wiki entry for this, so i have to go by the label. cheesoning is cheddar and then all kinds of spices and things, and my black friends in columbus cooked with it a lot. and i think my mom puts it in pasta salad.


here is a photo (left) more rare then bigfoot or the loch ness monster. groundcat cooking. he stirred the boiling pasta for almost the whole 7 minutes until it was done! and he was even game to try brussel sprouts, since, as he put it, they were "covered in butter and might not be too horrible."

the final shot on the bottom right is not the usual "method acting" groundcat employs for photos. he really hated those brussel sprouts!
