Product of the Day: Buddha Belly Plate

There are moments when I'm home early, or hanging out alone, when I just do not want to sit at the dining room table and have a full meal solo. Instead, sitting on the couch watching Mad Men, I find myself balancing a plate on my lap, or eating awkwardly from coffee table to couch. In order to avoid the inevitable lasagna-in-lap scenario, I recommend Buddha Belly Plates. Adorably named and very durable, this plate has a finger hole that allows you to hold your plate with one hand and consume with the other without worrying about awkward placing and crumbs all over the couch.

It's quite easy: fill your plate with whatever meal you've chosen for the evening (such as this awesome Chacarero, Chilean street food, by Chef Pilar Rodriguez), place your thumb through the hole attached to the plate, rest it in the palm of your hand and use a fork, or your other hand, to consume your dinner delicacy. Enjoy!

Trick: Use your non-dominant hand to consume your food rather than hold your plate. After awhile you'll be amazed at your dexterity! And if you're feeling like some good Buddhist reading, sit down with some plain noodles with sesame seeds and a copy of Siddhartha.
