thanks for your concern SRS, but I make different chaos in my kitchen, tho not very often, fortunately.

Yesterday I dropped my best bowl. It is an old (30+ years) Japanese serving bowl which ended upside down on the floor & I was close to tears as I picked it up (over a bowl?? stoppit!!). It lost a fair amount off the top & is now sitting in my bathroom under a plant as the break couldn't be repaired as it was composed of dust & small pieces.

It's a very good excuse to go to my favourite Japanese shop & look for another bowl.
