1) When my Mom and Dad came back from church, they brought back some plates and soup dishes that had previously belonged to a Ruby Tuesday restaurant. One of the parishioners is an employee there and she got them because the whole chain is phasing in new china, so the old china had to go--one way or another. The plates are so big we'll more than likely use them as serving platters for messy food (as the edges are raised at a substantial angle). The soup dishes look big too. But I did a little check...they only hold about eight ounces of liquid before the level gets to the inner edge. Whereas the dishes we use now for soup hold at least three times that.
So keep this in mind. Restaurants want you to think you're getting a lot of food, when in fact they're only lending you a lot of crock. :)
2) I'll update my previous blog about 1/144th scale airplane models for Flames of War. Found out more stuff about them tonight.
