No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?
They live alone, why have a pie server if you are just gonna eat it yourself?
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
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.
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!
Where do you live /s
Seattle!
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.
They are more likely to be just eating the whole pie in one sitting, too.
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.
Oh, I have had more than one “I am gonna just sit here and eat this whole thing” nights.
I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can’t have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.
Been travelling in an RV for a while now. Family of 3. Have 3 forks, 2 knives (because adults cut the kid’s food) and 4 plates since you need somewhere to put food off the BBQ that isn’t someone’s plate. It’s glorious. So easy to clean up.
This is the way. Friends think I really like this one bowl. Truth is I like an empty sink, so I force myself to wash it by only owning one bowl.
I just recently got rid of 90% of my silverware and over half my plates and bowls for this very reason
He never has dishes
Is your friend Bill Dauterive?
Sometimes you need more than one teaspoon during a meal? Say if you have soup and tea and hate to eat soup with the tablespoon.
That would make sense, it’s the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn’t know
That’s one beautiful teaspoon
lol two spoons and a fork, what a waste. i only use one spoon for everything.
edit: ooh i get it now, they have a significant other who sometimes visits. (big spoon, small spoon)
Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I’m not fuckin around.
It’s all he needs
Been there done that
I have 4 of each just in case I don’t feel like doing the dishes today
The pictured method forces disipline. Honestly a tub of alcohol wipes in the kitchen and a quick wipe down with one of those works pretty well for cutlery
Don’t most sets come with 4?
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.
What the actual fuck!? The knives always go on the outside, far left or far right.
Personally, I prefer dessert spoon, fork, knife, then tea spoon.
Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles
Do chopsticks have an orientation?
Yeah just like Twix.
does the left chopstick also taste better?
Yes, but their orientation is none of your business.
God, I love Asian soup apoons!
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.
Finnish mnemonic: Haaveilu. Haarukka=fork, veitsi=knife, lusikka=spoon.
Haaveilu=daydreaming, reverie
That’s more than enough. I’ve survived for long with just a knife and a fork. A good knife works as a second fork.
He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can’t find some else and feels the urge to kill again.
I did this for a few years and it was amazing.
as a single dad living with one teenager kid, the two plate strategy was a total game changer.
