Might I recommend Fiestaware for DL's next dishes? You can drop that stuff on a granite counter and it doesn't break. I know quite a few people getting tired of theirs - DL could acquire those dishes for a good price and we all know how DL loves a good price. The dishes are rather heavy but I am sure the cheap price will make up for the extra jet fuel like with their aircraft purchases
