Oh I found out who did the bacon thing. Now I just need to find out who has
been throwing away the spoons. First it was the forks, now this. I bought
a new set of flatware from Blair online a few years back. It was on
clearance for very cheap and is almost identical to what I had. You'd have
to look pretty close to tell that it wasn't the same. It is looking not so
great now though. What's left of it. Some of the original set had
tarnished.

And in looking online to buy a new set, I saw the cautions not to use lemon
dish detergent and not to immerse in tomato products. Say what? My mom
said she knew of the tomato thing. I'll bet the two worst spoons that I
have were left in a mug of tomato soup. And I used to use lemon dish washer
detergent.

Two sets of these are now on the way.

Probably wouldn't be my first choice if money wasn't an option and I didn't
have some idiot in this house. When the forks were disappearing, I found
one in a box of cereal and I was also finding them in the trash. I didn't
notice the spoons in the trash but there were only two left in the drawer
and none in the sink. I did see someone take a spoon from the drawer and
when asked, this person replied that they were not taking them back into the
kitchen. And this is not the person who caused a problem with the bacon.
So... Not really happy about that but there is no way I would get expensive
flatware with this nonsense going on.

I'm sure it will be fine and it is slightly similar to the newer iced tea
spoons that I have. I did actually find one of those in the sink. *sigh*
It's always something.

I do have my husband's grandma's flatware or at least one set. She had
three and each of the families got one set. I was supposed to have gotten a
set of China as well but we really have no place to put one. So if we ever
get divorced, he can take grandma's flatware with him! It's just really
not my style. I prefer a heavier type and rather plan. So the two sets
that I ordered do fit those parameters.
