That is something DH has brought up a couple of times and we never do anything about it. He wants to get a set someday but I don't want to be bothered. We just have plates. Tons of them, which we use as we reach them without thinking twice. His mother has a huge set (Corelle), beautiful and she is too afraid to break a piece. I don't understand that. She didn't inherit it or anything, she just expects one day to use it but never do. I am just happy to have people over for dinner and sit and enjoy the company without worrying about a broken plate.
