First Birthday Present of the Year

An early birthday present arrived today. It's very appropriate for me, in fact, and will tell you a lot about me. It's folding tableware, or Orikaso -- Ori-(to fold) kaso-(plastic): the art of folding plastic. It combines my interest in clever design and food, and it's ideal for camping!

Of course, the first thing I did was put them together. It was remarkably easy, once I understood the first principle about where the tab would almost always go.

Thank you, Mum! You know me very well! :)
