I had such plans

The other day I came across this lovely plate at the side of the road! Just my colour and kind of funky.

It was not quite so lovely when I picked it up, but was covered with that dust/grease combo the tops of your cupboards might have! I scrubbed and cleaned and had a nice green butterfly-shaped plate for dips or olives or little bits of nibbles. I was thinking of putting my rainbow fruit skewers on it this weekend!

I was also thinking of assembling a little show-and-tell of other green crockery I have.

Then, this afternoon, I was making dressing for Caesar salad with my hand blender (kind of like this) and I wanted to grind some pepper in, but without going to the trouble of removing the blender from the jar.

One really needs three hands and a much wider jar to do this without catastrophe. The blender tipped over and landed with a crack, right on the middle of my lovely dish.

I am pleased to say that no salad dressing was lost, though.

Boo hoo.
