spoons

In one of the most frustrating incidents of our week.....someone(s) have taken all the small teaspoons from my kitchen! "All" might be an exaggeration, I do have 3 left! I did have 50. There is a slight discrepancy in the total now. Who would do this? To listen to my children whine and cry about using a "big" tablespoon you would think that none would ever do something so terrible. Sadly, and only I would know this because we do not talk about it, all my teaspoons from my stainless Scott and I got when we married were in among the Wal-Mart cheapies too. We have had all those spoons for 20 years. For several years I would spend all my Christmas money adding spoons and forks to meet the demands of our growing family. It would now cost (on sale) $329 for an eight place setting of my flatware. I will not have these replaced. While I dearly love them, the cost is just to much. Especially when they can go missing, and when they can be replaced with cheapo's. Perhaps they will be recovered? Perhaps not. For now we are a BIG spoon family, unless you are the early bird and grab one of the 3 small ones!
