EvanH : I wanted to get the National Hardware brand, but in researching was lead to believe that in Canada, only Walmart carried it, and Walmart doesn't carry that particular product. Which is why I went for the Stanley one, not realizing there was a difference. On your website, you do indeed state exactly which one you used, but it doesn't indicate that other brands might not work. That's all I was saying.
For the bowls, I looked for anything vaguely bowl shaped in the white. The problem was the plastic. As it is winter here, it seems no one is carrying the picnic standard plastic ware of any kind. I'm sure it would have been much easier to find in the summer.
alissa : I talked to the guys at Home Depot and they kept telling me how incredibly hard it would be to grind down the Stanley lid support. I was going to ignore them as they tend to do the whole "oh, poor female isn't capable of 'manly' pursuits" attitude. Glad to hear it worked for you!
Off to make my photo box...
