bugsybee, a huge fruit platter or a great dessert serving vessel during the holidays, maybe even for christmas decor and candy or sweets?

Marketman, when I go back to Manila, I will take photos for you of the different kinds of lechon plates if I can brave the dust in the pantry again (last time, it gave me a bad asthma attack). I want to keep them but since I don’t throw big, big parties, I was wondering what else I could do with them (floating candles?).

I take exception to ThePedantic’s post about hard-to-find good avocados in the US.

California produces some of the best velvety and creamy rich avocados in the world. The world’s most popular avocado, the Hass variety, is a California native and is prized by professional chefs and foodies. There are a lot of other good California variety avocados that one can chooe from.

bugsybee, they are nice plates, very period like but now look modern in a bizarre way. I normally like white plates but lately I am beginning to appreciate pattern and texture. The plates aren’t a kings ransom but they are worth more than Mariwasa…don’t throw them out. And I would love to see a photo of the lechon sized plate…how intriguing…

Hi! I like avocados too and never mind if they’re sinful.

I did notice the plates. Last year, I inventoried my grandma’s plates and found plenty of these including ones big enough to hold lechon. I wonder if they’re worth anything, I mean aside from sentimental value. :)
