Got my new hiking boots today, they’re brown with bright orange laces.

I don't believe you. I need to see a photo.

Our set works like the other corelle sets we have had. There are no chips and they do not shatter until the second or third time they are dropped.

You dishwasher might have a lot of pressure in the jets?

I do have jets and my machine works great. That’s why I think it’s my dishwasher.

I bet we have the original set they made lol.

I remember that pattern! Are you still using that set?

I used to have the blue pattern when they first came out:

Sadly, they have all gone to the great Corelle store in the sky.

Hubs just told me we’re going to Medieval Times on Saturday. I’ve never been.

Does anybody know of any good dishes that don’t burn the out of your hands after microwaving and that won’t break the bank?

I second the idea of Corelle. I don't care if something says it is microwavable, if it gets hot, other than where the food is, it isn't microwave safe in my mind.

But I wouldn’t expect to need them just from microwaving a plate

Better safe than sorry! But you are right, if the plate is hot where there is no food, don't use it in the microwave.

Corelle does not heat up and you can drop it a couple of times without them breaking.

Unless you show people how they don't break by throwing them on the floor .... like my sister did.

THERAPY WENT SO WELL OMG. Except now I’m a little bit down because it went so deep and some unexpected stuff came up but it’s a good thing it came up and it was a really good session instead of me just saying good good good like usual lmao

That is FABULOUS!!!!!

I got them because I want to get back into hiking.

As soon as the temp drops below 80°F

Nope, the Old Town Blue was introduced in '72 (along with Blue Macrame and Green Macrame. There were 4 original "patterns" in 1970, one is white, so not a pattern; at least not to me.

I have the same set, bought it 44 years ago. None have gone to the Corelle store in the sky They are my microwave dishes. My "daily dishes" are Windsor Ware "Garden Bouquet". They were my grandmothers though I've bought some replacements. They do break and I sure as heck wouldn't put them in the microwave. They were made between 1935 and 1950. No microwave ovens back then!!!

Those gold ones we put in the basement for a while. We have these 3 styles we use. The black trim ones are great for messy food like spaghetti. Call us Corelle hoarders I guess

Now that you mention it, I remember the green too, but I don't think we had those. Maybe if I dug in the basement I'd find some though. We're in our early 60's and those gold ones are what mom had when I still lived at home. We have 4 different patterns and I keep telling hubby we really should just get a new set. He said since we never throw any away, then we'll have 5.

Great looking hiking boots IM, they look very sturdy and comfortable.

Hubs just told me we’re going to Medieval Times on Saturday. I’ve never been.

Does that mean a whole turkey leg is in your future?
