The best case overall is still a heated garage w/room to park the car. Heck,
I can't even get into my carport with all of the "treasurers" that Dennis
haa pack-ratted for "possible" use.

I know the words to that song. I use the serving bowls in the Healthy 
Choice meals for cereal/oatmeal, soup, one-pot meal servings and/or
salads ... oh, and sometimes for I scream or side dishes. The only
problem is that the plastic used stains easily if used for chilli or
red sauced pasta, etc. Those are binned and there will, no doubt, be
replacements added to the stack soon.

  NOTE: If you are silly enough actually to make this recipe
  I predict that you will be reaching for the salt shaker as
  a first move. And the hot pepper sauce next. And then make
  a solemn vow never to make it again. - UDD
