I love, love, LOVE this bowl. It really comes in handy in the kitchen for garbage so I don't have to keep going to the trash can.  Plus, it's pretty and the right size to use for a salad.  My family thought I was crazy for purchasing something called a garbage bowl but now they see the logic and they all use it too.  Am definitely going to be purchasing a second one in the future, plus one for my best friend's birthday!
