I'm lower than a couch potato. I'm a floor potato. :-)
Also in my second (and last) childhood. Fix supper, carry it in, eat
in front of the tube.
I tilt the supper plate a degree or 2 and the silverware scoots across
the shiny plate, lands on the floor, usually with part of the meal.
Anybody ever seen a no-mess "tv plate" or somesuch with maybe little
apertures for the silverware on the US market??

I've got some things that I use for salad and for pasta. Big like a
plate. Flat bottom like a plate. Lip like a bowl. Not one of those
restaurant soup bowls with a big wide brim. No brim at all. It's really
a plate with sides, but you'd call it a bowl I suppose.
