Good move, and Wil is looking especially cute in that photo! He must be happy with the new dishes, or maybe it’s the strawberries!
What was the final straw in the decision?
Thanks Kalyn! He does love his berries (and his new “big boy” plates).
Cate, you know, I was unsettled when I read more about melamine and struggled with the decision. But the tipping point was actually when Costco recalled their Kirkland Brand Dog Food. See, Scrappy, who has a more sensitive stomach of the two dogs, had been vomiting semi-regularly for a while. And we thought it was the kibble, but at the same time we switched his kibble, we stopped giving them wet food for awhile (my husband was working late and the food makes me gag).
Eventually, I gave Scrappy the old kibble again and he was fine. But we just weren’t giving them the canned food. And then I got the notice about the recall in the mail and it really made me wonder if that was the cause of Scrappy’s vomiting, since he’d been eating that food at the same time. Fortunately, aside from an upset stomach, he’s fine. But that made me question it enough to decide it really was time to switch plates.
That’s so weird! I had never heard of melamine before yesterday, and I borrowed a bowl to marinate some lamb in, and looked on the bottom of it, and it said “melamineware,” so I looked it up on the internet.
What a weird, tiny coincidence
And I just got 4 Martha Stewart melamine plates at K-Mart on Sunday to use when we eat outside. My mom swears by Corelle, so I guess I’ll have to give it a try too.
I’m not seeing Will on my computer. Just the melamine in the trash…
That’s good you got rid of it. I have Corelle too.
Be careful with Corelle and children because if it is dropped on a hard floor like ceramic tile, it shatters into a zillion little shards.
