"  Rebekah Lowin, our current intern and a sophomore at Columbia University in New York, used the Bamboo Puzzle Party Platters from Totally Bamboo. Here&amp;#039;s her take: I&amp;#039;m almost embarrassed by how much fun I had trying out these puzzle party platters. Now, I know you&amp;#039;re skeptical...and the truth is, I was, too. &amp;quot;Thrilling&amp;quot; isn&amp;#039;t normally a word I use to describe platters. But these guys won my love. Sold as a set of two, the platters ($14.99 at Totally Bamboo) are cleverly designed to link up with one another, creating a seemingly endless presentation of your favorite appetizers. They&amp;#039;re sure to delight your guests \u2014 that is, if you actually remember to serve food on them and manage not to get carried away with simply linking and unlinking them. I&amp;#039;m telling you, they&amp;#039;re fun. The actual surface of the platter is quite roomy, so it can hold plenty of appetizers. You may, however, choose to use them as individual plates, in which case a glass of wine (of any size) can snuggle conveniently into the nook of the open end, while the opposite end is used as a handle. This option leaves you with a free hand, with which you can (well, what else?) link more platters together. Trust me, you won&amp;#039;t be able to stop yourself.   Most importantly, cleaning the platters is no problem. They&amp;#039;re covered with a food-friendly finish, so you can simply wash them off with warm water and soap. This isn&amp;#039;t the same kind of bamboo that our panda friends munch on, but they&amp;#039;ve got the right idea \u2014 we suggest you follow their lead and go bamboo! While these platters are great for a beautiful presentation, choose a hardwood or plastic cutting board for heavier chopping. Ready to go totally bamboo?

While these boards are beautiful and a great choice for presenting food, don&amp;#039;t buy into the hype that bamboo is &amp;quot;green.&amp;quot; See what our Textiles Director Kathleen Huddy has to say about just how green bamboo really is.
