My family had settled in for dinner at the Four Seasons — we were overlooking the water, watching ferry boats pass, and sipping champagne to celebrate our first night in Seattle. As the food arrived, the server set a beautiful bowl of buttered pasta in front of my 2-year-old nephew. My sister promptly grabbed it, moving it out of reach in fear that he would shatter it. Then, she realized it wasn’t ceramic at all, it was plastic....
