fixation of the week-

I have been obsessing a bit on getting these. We eat a lot of soup and sandwiches around here. Growing up, we had some tacky luncheon ones I loved from Wendy's—the kind you would get free with a kids meal, or something. They were red and hard plastic with Wendy's writing on them. We loved them. What's not to love about the food-in-compartment thing? Secretly, I am a food mixer. I love a good segmented tray as much as the next person but when I do eat, I tend to mix, dip, or just mess it up.

These are at Uncommon Goods and Amazon (I got a ton of new and vintage links from the eggplant) These are new, obviously, and that's my tough decision—do I buy new or get a lovely vintage set? And I need 3 sets, or preferably 5. . .oh, these decisions and issues. There's something so clean and simple about these, although looking at them now, they do look like a set for dog food. hmmm. Maybe vintage? But the shipping on ebay for ceramics is such a buzzkill. In another lifetime I would actually leave the house and thrift for these.  .  . .
