We've been adjusting well to our new apartment. We like the increased living space (although at the expense of a decreased bathroom & bedroom). The kitchen especially has ample space. We have a pantry, over the stove microwave, and a dishwasher. And our new neighbors hung up wind chimes!
But I've found the dishwasher has caused me to be a bit more resourceful. Previously we would wash dishes by hand after nearly every meal. Having silverware that serves 4 was plenty. But now that we have a dishwasher we usually wait for the dishwasher to get full before running (gotta make good use of that energy - we're not heathens.) So a couple times this week I've found myself needing a butter knife, but none are clean. A normal individual would probably just grab a dirty knife and wash it. Or maybe even settle for a steak knife. But my first thought was - why not use a spoon?
In this case, I'm attempting to make a delicious PB&J. Keep in mind, I'm not a dimwit so I'm not going to try spreading the PB or J with the spoon. I'm instead going to use the spoon handle! It's shaped a lot like a butter knife - why not? And it works wonderfully by the way!
I also used the handle of a fork to try and slice some homemade peach bread.
