gluten_freeThis only works for someone like me who lives by themself, or just with uncritical housemates like cats or dogs.
Several years ago, to reduce doing too many dishes, I started keeping the bare minimum of cutlery in an old chipped mug by my main sitting chair (I don't eat at a table ever, unless at a restaurant or out for dinner at a friend's. The mug also contains other non-eating essentials of course, like scissors, pens, Apple iPad stylus).
From left to right:
- all-purpose titanium spork for main meals
- Favourite teaspoon for desserts, oatmeal
- Serrated kitchen knife, mostly for cutting up apples
- Long-handled spoon (recently acquired from a thrift shop as a brand of jam I like comes in tall, thin jars)
Together, these cover every eventuality. They rarely get washed in the normal way. I lick them clean then polish them with a tissue. It works fine. This is all part of my "one advantage to being older than dirt is you can be as eccentric as fuck" policy.
