I'm a big fan of long handled teaspoons.

They're called sundae spoons! I love them too.

The movie Alpha covers this, sort of. It's fiction, nice caveman dog fiction. Not a deep film but nice.

I'm up to chapter 8 and really enjoying it! It's been so easy to apply Ryan Gosling's voice to the main character.

Huh TIL!

Oh gosh the body is SORE. Did a Pilates core workout that really hit me when I got up to pee at 4am. Had to do today's squats in small chunks, but got them done in between a trip out to the Yarra Valley for cheese and wine.

These ones? https://www.kmart.com.au/product/500ml-square-ribbed-glass-container-43507399/

I don't mean there's a direct link between the social media ban and attacks like these, more that so much effort is spent legislating kids out of public life instead of finding ways to engage with them

Mostly looking to reduce the plastic touching food pathway. I currently microwave in a bowl with a plate on it. But my tubs are showing some wear.

I've known them as sorbet spoons. I use them for heaps of things though.

Oh yeah they've got a lot of different names.

My favourite hack for them is to cut the top off the Kewpie mayo bottle and scoop the dregs out.

I've known them as parfait spoons. Since long before I knew what parfait was.

I have a full set of eight long-handled teaspoons which are very well used, and also use lots of standard teaspoons, I've got a couple of cutlery sets worth in the drawer and don't plan to part with any of them.

My mother probably should have gone that route, seeing she moved to using small plates instead of proper dinner plates. It drives me batty. You don't need to fill the entire plate with food, but having a larger plate gives you room to do things like cut your meat without accidentally knocking it off the side.

My cutlery set has bigs and smalls and I don’t really use the smalls. I think cutlery sets should come with fork, knife, spoon, teaspoon. Optional extras are cake fork and long teaspoon/sundae spoon/parfait spoon.

Me too. So useful.

I don’t remember there being so much interest in an upcoming movie from this group before

I had a breakthrough today in some of my understanding of relativistic physics. 🐱🚀

I think. 🤔

I have the big set and use the small knives to make sandwiches and the big ones to eat dinner

the small forks I use for desserts and salads

I have one I use to get the chutney out of the deep jars

Thank god I did not forget.

Cheers all! From me and my glass of morning dew eating apple wine.

Yes. Mine are not square but rectangular and have green not blue silicone, and plain glass not ribbed glass walls.

Thanks chef.

Big knives & forks for eating dinner, smaller knife for buttering bread, smaller forks for dessert along with spooons was what I was taught as a kid. So the table setting would be big knife/fork at each side of the big plate, with the smaller knife next to the big knife on the outside OR resting on the side plate, and the smaller fork & spoon at the top of the big plate space. Soup spoon goes outside the big knife as it will be used first. Gets more complicated if there's going to be a fish course, so the fish knife & fork (which have a special shape) go inside the big knife & fork on each side of the plate. Basically you work from the outside in, except for the bread buttering knife and the dessert fork/spoon. You can put the dessert fork/spoon inside the fish knife/fork if you prefer and have enough tableroom. Note, the bread buttering smaller knife should NOT be serrated as you don't cut anything with it. The big knife can be if you like that style.

I just wish the tv ads would stop so I don't keep getting Oasis stuck in my head

cheers 🍺🐱

I have a two size set and prefer to use the smalls just for hand size. I don't host the sort of do where both would be on the table at once. More likely fingers or chopsticks. Except for Boyo, I've given up on sticks for him.

The only ad I have seen is on the sides of buses

Yep. That seems right. Everyone has their own rulers and clocks. It's all consistent within the observers frame. The paradox only happens when you try to reconcile between the two.

I studied relativity - it was my favourite (general relativity even more!)

I swear it busts my brain , mainly the part where distance increases between two points when a body slows down

people are desperate for a NEW sci fi story

star trek is 60 years old, star wars is 50, marvel is also over 50 years old , alien is over 40, etc etc

I think there needs to be both soup spoons and desert spoons. I don't really understand why soup works better out of a round spoon and more solid things work better with oval, but it does.

The set I'm getting had a version with just the pieces I want for 6 place settings, but I found an 8 place set with the extra knives & forks being sold on clearance for cheaper than the small set.

Ouch! I did my extremely slow and gentle squats after a trip to IKEA with the kids. I've been looking into equipment-free exercises for toning and improving my shape without trashing my joints. Today I did a few exercises from a chair (seated) workout video. It seems like nothing doing at first, but by the time you hit the 50ish mark you're starting to feel odd muscles activate. I never got the hang of Pilates, I think I'd have to do it in front of a mirror to get it right and there's insufficient space in front of mirrors at my place.

looking at some trailers it reminds me of when I visited the ISS at Cape Canaveral, everything white/off white, cylindrical rooms just covered in controls, every inch utilised and kind of furnishings in the walls

Yeah it's wild! We didn't study it until 3rd year uni and we all had these exact conversations! It's mind-blowing but fun when you realise you grasp a little piece
