I bought some aluminimum trays at a local trift shop near my new work.  Also
some cool 70's kitchie plastic platters (one with a giant lobster on it
surrounded by lemons), and a cake plate to replace the one that broke when
we came back from Festival of the Rose (WAH!!!  It was such a nice plate!).

Also, a few weeks ago I was n my local evile WHole Food store and they had
these things called "Stackers" I think.  Tall little metal molds that you
can stack food in and shape them (I bought them since I saw Iron Chef Saki
use similar ones and they always look so COOL).  The set I got has some
triangles, a circle and I THINK a square.  I plan on trying them out for
presentation foods.

That's my plunder...no more for awhile tho.  Had to shell out $800 bucks to
fix a leak in my downstairs bathroom.  ARG!
