    We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

        I made a cake last night to get rid of a few eggs. Realized I am slipping back into batchelor life when I just put the whole thing on a plate, put one utensil on it, And put the whole thing back in the fridge. Healthy… probably not … any of it. But not having to look for a clean utensil every time is nice. The sad part is it was a spoon I grabbed, not because I thought it would double for ice cream if I wanted some… But because it was closer

          And yet, to get rid of a few eggs you made cake, where others would just make eggs. We are not worthy!!!

            I have my own hens out back… So I give away a dozen to my neighbors weekly, on either side because they free roam and I have to many Currently about 4 dozen on the counter. Messier than usual, started a new job working far away and a lot more hard labor than I’m used to, so I’ve basically done fuck all to keep things managed around here as I get into a routine. Thankfully when you are 1 person, you only have to clean 1 pot, 1 fork, and 1 plate usually. (Edit: forgot to add, 1 good silicone/rubber/? Hybrid temperature resistant spoon, I always hated the plastic ones and visited my mother a year ago and she had them, just place it over the top of the pot no matter how hot, no issues. Worried about sauce getting on the stove, just leave the fucker in the pot, not sure what it’s made of, but I intend to reuse it till I die and hopefully pass the fucker on so it doesn’t go in a ditch)

              Holy crap, if I had that many eggs I’d probably eat eggs benedict with hollandaise every morning - cholesterol be damned!

          As long as it isn’t a sink full of nasty dishes, and a PC surrounded by plates, cups, and empty cans, you are good.

        For when that special someone comes over. Of course if you have a special someone you’d have 2 sets of silverware. Okay I see the point.

            I did that a few times - not in one sitting but just eating pie as my only food for a couple days (I’m not a big eater). I remember standing in line at Albertson’s in my early 20s, seeing a rack of peach pies and suddenly realizing I could just buy one for myself. I was an adult. I could get a whole pie and eat as much of it as I wanted. Another time I ate almost nothing but Cap’n Crunch all weekend. A friend of mine had a summer job at a pizza place where she got to take home one pizza per day. She put them in her freezer and lived on pizza all summer, zero grocery expenses.

    Did they borrow these from a restaurant. I just find it more menacing to just buy 1 of each, searched online and I can’t find a single reasonably priced utensil set that only sells 1 of each in the set.

    you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft

    Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.

    I don’t know what this is but it’s certainly not in keeping with the lord’s way.

          Me too, the shape is just so perfect for so many things. I bought some recently at the Vietnamese market nearby. They have fancy little roses surrounded by a filigree pattern printed on them and say “English” on the handle in some Victorian-looking cursive font lmao. I love them.
