That has to say something, about how good they are! BTW, if you have any kind of plastic container that hasd been stained from food, it can be restored quite nicely, by rubbing the item with lemon juice and set it out in sunlight for a few hours. It will clean most or all of the stain. Sometime you might have to do it twice for the best results.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-15249106849832583312010-02-24T20:57:26.165-06:002010-02-24T20:57:26.165-06:00Ohhhhh Noooooo!

I read if you use a smaller plate, it fills up faster (of course), but your brain thinks there is more food (relative to the plate), so you think you're eating more than you actually are (helps to lose/not gain weight, which I need to lose). I have 7 but 2 are cracked. I am looking for them too.Donna M.
