discussing with mil how I'm going to do Christmas lunch buffet style. she was worried that the food would get cold by the time everyone sat down and said "I hope your going to warm the plates". i don't normally warm the dinner plates, but she does it when ever we go there to eat.

it got me wondering, do you warm your plates for every day meals, special occasions or not at all?

Never! I have never even considered it.

Never. No. Waste of time.
Christmas Day is just close extended family, so we go with (gasp) plastic plates so clean up is easy.

Nana used to. Mum did sometimes. I rarely do. I'm following the traditional trajectory.
