What have you bought today?

[Mottie]

I eat slow, and want my food still warm near the end.

The new oven we are getting has a special plate warming setting (!) so that should be far, far easier than just turning the oven on a low setting and hoping for the best………

I put my plate in the toaster for a wee minute, it's a long slice toaster for Scottish bread. Sometimes I just put the toaster on and lay the plate on top. There has been a couple of times when I've forgotten about it, and cracked the plate

Pants and shirts after losing baggage....

Do you mean you lost a suitcase of clothing or you've lost weight?

You must have money - and plates - to burn

Sadly, the first.

Surprised you didn't include a warming drawer in your shopping list - great for proving dough as well as warming plates, keeping food hot etc.

We did think about it and if we had just the one oven I might have considered it. The oven also has a proving setting as well so I might give Bod a run for his money with the old sourdough loaves.

Good idea, never thought of that. If I'm cooking with oven, I normally just put the plates in oven for last couple of minutes of cooking time.

I've got a warming drawer, but doesn't heat the plates enough. It's just used to store unused crockery now.

Most of our daily used plates are Pyrex types, we just pop them in the bottom of the oven, before the cooking begins. Never had one damaged yet.

Our top oven is used pretty much exclusively for warming plates! and, luckily, the lowest setting gives the perfect temperature.

I wanted 4 screws today for my plug sockets. Went up B&Q to get them (along with some other stuff) and they wanted £3.49 for a pack of 4! Instead, I bought two blanking plates at 79p each and they come with the screws. Who the f*ck buys screws at those prices?

Selling individual items cost more.
