You know I agree with you....Hi Kim, thanks so much. You know I agree with you. I know I should make smaller plates, but I am always attracted to larger items, I love big cars, expansive landscapes, open floor plans, I think it may have something to do with not feeling closed in and perhaps the big plates are an unconscious manifestation of that feeling.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I keep getting duplicates of stuff I can't find, once we get settled I am sure I will be shocked at what I have done along the way. Hopefully we will find a place quickly.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-72121723442512019882010-01-13T12:13:36.318-05:002010-01-13T12:13:36.318-05:00Hi Linda, i agree w/ the idea of eating from a sma...Hi Linda, i agree w/ the idea of eating from a smaller plate, and have been planning on making my own smaller set as soon as i get my new studio set up. it's interesting because even though i think eating off a smaller plate is a good idea, i just love the look of those big plates. i'm always drawn towards them when i see them for some reason. <br /><br />i'll have to look over your previous posts, am i right in saying you're working w/ clay while living in your RV? WOW! i imagine as far as tools and equiptment you have the minimalist thing down to a science right now lol. i have to say though that it sounds like and adventure and quite exciting. i hope you find the perfect place to land. kimKim Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735663073994877951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-59177418208410462102010-01-07T09:58:30.512-05:002010-01-07T09:58:30.512-05:00Hi Julia, thanks, interesting you had trouble sell...Hi Julia, thanks, interesting you had trouble selling smaller plates, perhaps consumers perceived smaller plates as a lesser value. I'll have to check our your post about portions.<br /><br />Hi Zygote, thanks chawans would do the trick for sure, yes grazing and browsing is a perfect way to limit portions, eating a bit when hungry.<br /><br />Hi Trish, thanks, I wish we had larger stores around here for me to find it but that is part of the reason for looking for a new place to live when were we are closer to a larger city.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, yes I think boredom and lack of exercise here isn't good for me. I need to start walking again. When we had the farm I walked over 5 miles a day and I haven't been doing that lately. <br /><br />Hi Yolanda, thanks, there just aren't many resources around here out in the sticks, one of the reasons we're looking for a new place. Soon we'll be off.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-66664171313637479972010-01-07T09:27:10.089-05:002010-01-07T09:27:10.089-05:00Hi Linda,

Happy New Year to you too! and the plans on better, smaller portion eating is great. My daughter eats very small meals every 2-3 hours which was very challenging when she was a kid, but now since she has to plan her owns meals is working fine with me, that and that she is away.... Keep up the good work with clay. I've never heard of that grain, have you tried an arab market? They have wonderful stuff there. Take care.Yolanda M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04068227600622707541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-29671300054321181022010-01-07T07:47:31.542-05:002010-01-07T07:47:31.542-05:00Interesting how that grain is prepared.

On the trip I lost 5 pounds aa I was constantly stimulated in other ways though food was constant and bountiful. Since home, I have eaten the pattern off my 8 inch plates.<br />Hope your traveling helps you.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-29163572030453685162010-01-06T22:15:54.875-05:002010-01-06T22:15:54.875-05:00Hi Linda..thanks for the interesting post.

They hold just enough to let you know you just ate something, but leave you hungry enough to keep moving.

You always share something new or interesting - you are obviously someone who loves to learn and you always get me thinking, reading, or trying something new. Can't wait to watch your journey(s) unfold this year.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.com
