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.
premature optimisation
It happens sometimes.
He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.
We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.
That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!
HAHA TEENAGERS AMIRITE
F’realz
He’s 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?
Dude I’m 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it’s up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.
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’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.
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.
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.
Also to support any surprise guests!
It’s all he needs
I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!
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.
Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles
Do chopsticks have an orientation?
Yes, but their orientation is none of your business.
Yeah just like Twix.
does the left chopstick also taste better?
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
Personally, I prefer dessert spoon, fork, knife, then tea spoon.
What the actual fuck!? The knives always go on the outside, far left or far right.
I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes
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.
Been there done that
That would make sense, it’s the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn’t know
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.
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
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.
