I'm planning to visit my father for lunch; for dietary reasons everybody is bringing their own meal (and ours will be in a fancy bento box¹), but we were talking about common things that we could avoid bringing.
I've found out that he only has a microwave oven and disposable plates / cutlery / cups.
Suddenly, I feel an unexpected need for a wickerwork basket with two china #tea cups, a spirit stove and a teapot. And I'm the kind of person who drinks tea in a mug.
¹ ikea 365+ :D but it's the one with food divider and everything.
