My kitchen accessories are mostly lime green, and I feel fine about eating cake with a salad fork.
Glad your hand is OK, Matt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Okay, I admit it: I'm pretty stoked to register for wedding gifts.
Yeah, that was fun. I like the little handheld computer gun you point and shoot at stuff you want. Pew pew pew!

If Pumpkin will stop mugging me for attention, I'll do my shopping run. Market got done in a record 30 min AND I got cheese grits. Nom.

Mmmm, cheese grits.
Putting stuff on a gift registry is tons of fun. Like turbo-charged window shopping. And then people give you stuff, which is also pretty nice.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Like most Saturdays when I'm home, I have a cat on my lap. Silly thing tried to steal the spoon out of my cereal bowl. What she wanted with it, I have no idea.

Shiny thing, good for pouncing?
I don't think I could retrain myself to hold the knife still and turn the avocado, but otherwise that video is pretty much my technique. Except I use a curved paring knife, usually.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I am definitely on Team All Forks Are Cake Forks.
I think DH and I need to get married again so we can replenish our silverware supply. We've been slowly losing knives with each apartment move. Also the new Kitchenaid colors are pretty.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Our household needs to re-register just for spoons, partly because Hec has a great repertoire of fabulous stews and chilis and hearty soups (OMG, his vegetarian Italian Wedding Soup is phenomenal) and sometimes the lack of soup spoons is grievous, but also partly because between cereal, coffee, yogurt and ice cream we go through a lot of spoons and some days our entire stash of teaspoons gets used and washed two or three times over. I already run out of metaphorical spoons often enough, it would be lovely to at least always have enough actual spoons.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This morning I was putting away the dishes I washed last night, and the flatware was ALL spoons. We use spoons WAY more than any other utensil. I think we use knives once a week. Because we are classy that way.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
