it was bound to happen.
i knew one day it would.
things don't last forever.
and today was the day.
the wooden spoon has died.
I have had it for 22 years.
it is THE gumbo spoon. I use it to stir the roux. no other spoon would do. Over the years I have tried to work in a new one, and i just haven't been able to do it. about 12 years ago it got a crack in it, so I knew it would one day break.
and that was today. lol
it was ugly, and it had worked it's way to a slant at the end of the spoon, perfect for stirring, and the handle was skinny... fit my hand well...
on top of that.
tonight at dinner, i noticed my dinner plates are different, there are some different than others. I've had these plates for 18 months, and I have 4 that are different.
how strange.
