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
You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
premature optimisation
It happens sometimes.
That would make sense, it’s the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn’t know
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’s one beautiful teaspoon
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.
He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.
Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.
it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.
In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic
In hindsight I should have used “or” instead of “and”.
But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.
If you live alone, though, I’d advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.
I’ve got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can’t pile up if they don’t exist.
You underestimate some of us
You underestimate yourself. You’ll get this.
Also to support any surprise guests!
I was given so much stuff when I bought my house. My one aunt had a shopping addiction and just gave me all of the kitchen shit. I live alon and my house is too small and laid out too weird for me to comfortably have guests. Idk what to do with everything, so it just stays in a cabinet. I don’t want to throw it out because it’s nice, but I have no use for it
If you can’t sell it you might be able to donate it to a thrift store.
I have a giant stack of plates. So they can go into the dish washer after I use them. Same thing with boxer shorts and the laundry.
One to many spoons but perfect otherwise.
Nooo, one is a teaspoon and the other a tablespoon! It’s for measuring!
yeah, the legt space should be replaced with a sharp knife for vegetables
They probably have a knife block with a single knife as well
What, you never have yogurt or tea with your morning oatmeal? Or are you a heathen that uses the same spoon for both?
I would probably get rid of everything but the fork and try to disprove that old you can’t eat soup with a fork joke.
One of my kids eats noodles w/ a spoon. Everything is possible.
The large one is for scooping ice cream into the bowl. The little one is for eating it.
Knife should be on the left and the spoons on the right. Fite me.
You think I’m worried about fighting someone that has to reach over the gentry silverware to grab the knife?
This is a valid argument and I’d hoped nobody would mention it. 😡
What if they are a lefty?
Even match, The winner goes to the defender assuming lair advantage.
I see, but my butler grants advantage on all reactions within a 5ft radius when performing the “Set Table Feat”, I know that applies to cordially invited enemies as well but the de-buff technically only says “applies to enemies” so I think that means he gets to roll a flat 20 but I will need a ruling from the DM.
The fight would have been mine if it wasn’t for the meddling buttler, you only had one knife to steal.
No, No, No, it says right here you may use the Fork as an improvised weapon without your Dexterity modifier with disadvantage.
It wouldn’t be in character. I already went for the knife. Don’t want to meta game.
My fork is pointier than the butter knives! I’ll stab you!
I’ve always done it (big) spoon, fork, knife, then teaspoons in a smaller tray underneath the main 3. But I moved forks to the left and spoons to the right and now I’m always getting confused and it doesn’t feel right, even 3 months later
If I ever put my phone in my left pocket, I will lose my mind looking for it.
I don’t know how it applies to cutlery drawers, but my parents taught me that when setting the table, the silverware should be in alphabetical order.
Ewwww arbitrary!
Not to say etiquette isn’t arbitrary, but the two top results (all I bothered to check) for my search about silverware placement suggests that the “correct” order is fork on the left, knife first on the right, then spoon furthest right. This is, indeed, alphabetical order.
So while it may be arbitrary, it isn’t arbitrary on an individual level.
Alphabetical order based on what language? Assuming English, since your comment is in English, but I’m curious if the rule would “translate” to other languages.
Indeed. Though my mother was quadrilingual and attempted to help me be at least bilingual, the only language in which I know more than a few words - written or spoken - is American English. As such, I’m not qualified to answer how diverse this system is, though I would be interested in hearing from someone who is.
Changing language can’t change what’s right. I think I win this one.
Fork, knife, spoon, teaspoon
Well in fancy restaurants, which should be the example we all follow because of how much better than us they are, the knife is always pointed in towards the plate and closest to the plate. This reduces odds of getting cut accidentally. Otherwise the silverware should be arranged from the outside to the inside in order that they’re meant to be used for each course because trying to truck your guests is a signal that you want to embarrass them with knowledge they aren’t generally expected to actually have. Spoons and forks should be grouped.
See, if I had that guys place you would find these 4 utensils in the sink because I’m a monster
Dude clearly not a big fan of steak.
Maybe it’s in their knife block.
I’m picturing a knife block that only has one slot for a single knife.
Or maybe they wear it on their belt, like this:
I did this once, it was bliss.
