Do you have a favorite bowl to eat from?

Mine is a small Japanese rice bowl. I got it at a yard sale for a couple bucks. Recently I got another, almost matching one, at the thrift shop I volunteer at. Has the exact same markings on the bottom. Been looking for a deal on another one for years.

Makes the wine taste a bit better. It even kicks up a casserole a notch or two.

I don’t have a dishwasher and do my dishes by hand. Lots of the older nice stuff wasn’t made for dishwashers.

Had a small black light over them in a case. Turn off the other light and they are gorgeous.

Does give you an excuse to stop at yard sales and thrift shops. They seem to be the perfect size. I find them beautiful too.
My favorite sweetener is Monk Sweetener. The fruit is named after the Zen Monks that used it. I’m also a big fan of Eastern Philosophy. Only takes a drop or two compared a tea spoon of sugar. Most likely healthier too. Around $10 for a little bottle. Try the one with no other ingredients.

Do you use a liquid form. This is a powder.

I will try it tomorrow in my special tea cup. Hopefully, it will not soon slip from my sudsy hands.

I like to use them for things I like to get real hot like beans or heated dips like chili cheese.
