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?
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 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!
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
OP is a fancy one with their actual silverware. When i was a bachelor, it was box of plastic forks, box of plastic spoons, and box of plastic knives.
Saving up for singular silverware would probably save you money in the long run
it’s not even silver, more like stainless steel around here.
Same here. My poitn being you can get a fork knife and spoon for under 5 bucks. Saves on the single use cutlery.
And less microplastics
And less trash to take care of.
I usually get them from take out places or the cafeteria. Never bought any single use items during my bachelor years.
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.
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 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.
Just don’t leave them in the sink and you can do the same with multiple of each, saving you the wash up. Just out them straight into the dishwasher. Saves energy, water and time.
I just recently got rid of 90% of my silverware and over half my plates and bowls for this very reason
That would make sense, it’s the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn’t know
I use plastic plates, drink directly out of the tap, have one set of chop sticks and my kitchen knife is the pocket knife I carry everyday.
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.
You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
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.
Dollar stores sell singles
2 words: Thrift. Shop.
In some Europe countries the all Chinese shops offer that option
Walmart sometimes sells utensils individually in store, they’re loose in bins with a little plastic price barcode attached
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.
It’s all he needs
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.
Finnish mnemonic: Haaveilu. Haarukka=fork, veitsi=knife, lusikka=spoon.
Haaveilu=daydreaming, reverie
I think you’ve swapped knife and fork…
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
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.
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.
I have one fork and nothing else lol.
Not a fan of soup or cereal?
Serial killer vibe intensifies.
dont worry id only ever serialkill ceos. its the new cool
