For the meet next month, I'm getting started on house cleaning. I'm cleaning things I haven't cleaned in years, like the china and glasses in the cabinet.
We've got three full sets of china. Two Brian bought when we got married because they reminded him of his grandma's (not the pattern I would have gotten, too flowery, way back then Franklin Mint had this awesome black with gold and I loved it - Franklin Mint got to keep it because we got stuff that reminded him of his grandma's - I had no say in the matter) and a set from my parents.
They're all in the cabinet. I'm putting them in the dishwasher, light load, it's going to take a while to get through everything (ideally I'd like to pack it all away and sell it or something, we don't entertain and we never use it). Dust catchers is all that stuff is.Anyway, the first set of dishes getting washed is the set my parents gave us. There are only two cups. WTF? Where are the other six? I find this incredibly odd that I'm missing six cups.
And we've got ten cups for Irish coffee. Four of those have the recipe on them. I don't think I've ever had Irish coffee. Why, then, do we have so many of these glasses?
