Flatware

[cyli]

I don't throw multi-course dinner parties. I don't know anyone who does. Why can't I just buy regular flatware with equal numbers of forks, knives, and spoons anywhere except Ikea? (a 1 hour drive for flatware makes me sad) All flatware sets come with one knife, a soup spoon, a table spoon, a salad fork, and a dinner fork

Thrift stores. You didn't want all those knives to match anyway, did you?

(wait, you *broke* your knives? We break glass, ceramic, occasionally destroy plastic, and bend spoons when the ice cream is too hard, but the flatware is made of metal... dare I ask what are you doing to break a dozen table knives?)

None of my flatware really matches, so no. It sorta creeps me out using flatware that other people I don't know have used - I always try to go plastic at cafeterias and stuff. It's not a realistic fear, just a psychosis I have.

And I threw two of the knives away after they rusted and the rust started rubbing off when I was buttering bread. One of them broke when I was trying to cut through a hard, cold block of chocolate (the handle and the actual blade were separate, so the blade snapped off the handle). Another fell down a garbage disposal two years ago without our realizing it, and the handle got all broken and cut up (the garbage disposal also broke). Another plastic-handled one just grew more and more wobbly and isn't really usable as a knife: the blade seems to rotate independently of the handle and we can't screw it back on. I guess we just lost some others in the move.

I only started out with about 6 knives - I am not sure where I got the extra spoons and forks.
