Part of being a healthy food snob is decorum: the white tablecloth, the heavy silverware, the white china plates. Somehow, it makes your meal taste even better. But in “these times of economic hardship” -- or as I like to call it, “The Suckage” – going out for a meal in that kind of proper environment can easily set you back a minimum of $75 for two. And it’s unheard of to make that kind of space for dining when you’re chowing down at work in a cubicle, eating last night’s leftovers. The solution? Head to your local small housewares shop or BB&B and pick up silverware singles for $1.49 to $3 apiece and a nice plate or bowl. You can even find some inexpensive cloth napkins. It will add affordable flavor to your leftover roast and add a taste of civilization to an often uncivilized work day.
