In my quirky little world, the only holiday I actually do is Thanksgiving. Strange I would pick this one because I can’t even boil water, much less cook a turkey. Nevertheless, I try to set a table and warm a few pre cooked things so I can pretend that I am a normal human being at least once a year.
Each year, I get one place setting of a different color and style. Don’t ask me why, it is just part of the tradition. I was looking at some plates in a local shop when I found a color and style I liked. The plate had a small lip on the edge kind of like a Frisbee and the interior was variegated. When I ran my hand over the interior surface, the texture was rough and the china looked stained.
My first thought was that since this was inexpensive tableware, whoever did the glazing had done a piss poor job. I did a closer examination, and to my disgust, I realized the rough stain was where some idiot had spit tobacco on the display plate and it had dried. Almost a week to go and this holiday is already ruined. Might have to switch to St Patrick’s Day.
