And then my daughter moved in. Somehow, she had a way of losing spoons.
Hah! The last year my brother lived at home, their spoons and forks multiplied. He was bussing tables at a fairly nice place and unintentionally amassed quite a collection, which my parents discovered when they cleaned out his car.
I have some that I nabbed from them one of the summers I was passing through. And some of the covetted skinny forks. They were from a set my grandparents got in sweden for my parents, an inexpensive everyday set. But the tines are thinner and longer than usual, and the balance on the knives is perfect. Mom and I have sought for years for another set like this, with no luck.
I'm hoping it was just some kind of weird delayed reaction from not having eaten anything in... uh, sixteen hours.
That could do it.
I've been having trouble working meals into my schedule lately. After I fainted a few weeks ago (I had been out of bed for maybe 2 minutes, felt a little dizzy, then suddenly I was sitting on the floor.) I started keeping my car stocked with Luna bars and VitaminWater.
I also have a rolling duffel bag, but it's huge. I think it's a good size for transporting a dead body. So at least I'm prepared for that.

Plastic swizzle sticks are dah bomb and prevent much teaspoon wastage for me.

I often use butter knives.
I am so not an adult.

I only own three forks.
I can never have a dinner party.
So, at about 11:30 I walked over to my boss's office to confirm our 2pm meeting. She said yeah, she has it in her calendar. Where is she now? WHO KNOWS? Our whole department is a sea of empty chairs right now.
I mostly use teaspoons to stir coffee, but I've just used the same spoon to measure the grounds, so using anything else for stirring makes no sense.
