Get The Fork Outta Here

It was such a small action to take, but one that is giving me continuous gratification to have done. Perhaps it's my OCD tendencies, but having a drawer of combined pieces from multiple sources of tableware and silverware was really wearing on my nerves. And on top of that, I personally think soup spoons and salad forks are about as necessary as candle snuffers and egg separators… they just take up space and get in my way.

Swapping them all out for this simplified set I found on Amazon has me smiling every time I reach for a utensil. It took me a while to find a decent, heavy set that did not include the aforementioned needless items. But this fits the bill perfectly. Opening the drawer and seeing one set of forks, one set of spoons and one set of the knives makes me about as happy as having a color-coordinated stack of plates and bowls in my cupboard.
