You know I love fiestaware; okay you know I love fiestaware almost as much as I love my wife. Today I got a special package of love from the good people of Norby's in Minnesota. Long have I coveted a set of fiestaware backing bowls (because I bake so much). Sadly, the set usually is available only in one color. Now I like lots of color in my life and I have been longing for the set in greens. I even wanted it to go from darker greens to lighter greens because I am picky that way. A very tall and pricey order, but with patience, time on the Internet, and of course a credit card number the set of my dreams is now part of my fiesta hoard.
I have the 6 quart in evergreen, the 4 quart in shamrock, and the 2 quart in lemongrass. I am feeling the love here. Makes me almost want to bake, almost. The evil fiestaware designers at Homer Laughlin have also added a 2 piece smaller set of bowls that will nest snugly with the others. I am still wavering on color choice, but in time I will have the whole 5 piece, because fiestaware is my drug of choice.
In my quest for the baking bowls, I discovered my lovely Masquerade Mirro flatware set had an additional party set available (

The set has cocktail forks and spoons with a very small spreader. I need to make it a point to find more reasons to use all colorful accouterments. If nothing else, just to show everything off. And just to keep with my theme for the year, I am just so damn lucky to be surrounded by so much brightly colored dinnerware.
