Downsizing my plates...

I bought the book, The 9-Inch "Diet" by Alex Bogusky...it's a fun/short read that talks about how plate sizes and portion sizes have increased in the US over the years. Since it's a relatively painless change, I bought a set of 9-inch luncheon plates to go with my Fiestaware, which I will swap out with my 10 1/2" dinner plates. We are going to be all about eating on 9-inch plates at my house. I got out a set of vintage Homer Laughlin luncheon plates for dinner last night and we will use those until Amazon sends me my new plates.

I bought 9-inch pink/green toile plates by Spode and I think it really helps! My plate is full, and I dont feel that I am being deprived! Good luck!
