Bit of a crappy day at work
Came home and no post in the box by the front door ( I was expecting some old essays to be posted back to me)
Disappointed they were not there.
I sat with my hoodie on as tge cottage warmed up, with the dogs on my knee
A neighbour brought around a parcel at 9 pm
It had been left by the postman
Four beautifully home made ceramic soup spoons, which I had ordered an age ago now
I was too tired to make soup to try them out
So ate some tinned low fat custard
Using each spoon in turn to try each one out
Eaten from the tin
Jings they look nice. I think that ours are Ikea's cheapest (and the soup will likely be a Tesco's own brand tin). Maybe I should go a bit mad and buy something spontaneously tomorrow, like a... Can't think of anything,... will settle for an unusually expensive beer in a fancy bottle that I can then rinse and call an ornament.
ReplyDeleteI loved the “ feel” of the spoons in my mouth

Sounds like a weary day. Sometimes you have to resort to opening a tin of something - although I might baulk at low fat custard.Hope it's a better day tomorrow for you.
ReplyDeleteThe spoons made my day
DeleteLovely spoons and hope they work well for soup. How delightful to treat yourself to useful and attractive utensils. Tis soup weather now and in the coming months so they'll see lots of use.
ReplyDeletePerhaps put something yummy in the slow cooker so it's ready to eat when you get home from work tomorrow?
Wishing you and the family restful and restorative night's sleep. For you, a calm and peaceful work shift.
Hugs!
The spoons are really nice and they came at just the right time. A package delivery on what was not the greatest day at work makes all the difference. Tomorrow will be a better day.
ReplyDeleteThe spoons are going to add a touch of much needed class m’thinks
ReplyDeleteMuch needed class? What an insult! John already has an abundance of class.
DeleteI'm of the jeneral opinion that John was just jesting jenerally to John-just saying
DeleteIndeed Je je ....I am sure Mr. Grey has adequate humour to know me 'wit' by now but thank you. Though perchance Anon was being funny too....
Deletei LOVE those spoons! where did you find them? they are perfect tasting spoons too. you know, like when you have to taste test something and need to cool it off a bit.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of medieval/Chinese-sometimes I think it's necessary to eat that way to survive and at least you ate with style-occasionally I have to eat food with my fingers-my mum would not be pleased but it can't be helped x
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely. You will soon enough honor them with a good soup that you make.
ReplyDeleteTut-tut! You shouldn't be using soup spoons to eat custard - you should be using custard spoons instead! The clue is in the name.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spoons. My word, you do have an eye for classy things! Christening them with custard, straight from the tin, sounds a perfect antidote to a crappy day. Sweet dreams and hoping tomorrow is kinder to you. xx
ReplyDeleteThose spoons are just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteNow I want ceramic soup spoons!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your professional approach.These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future.

Those spoons are beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with kylie on this, I now want ceramic soup spoons too. They are very beautiful... where did you purchase them from and I wonder if they ship to NZ.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Jo, I did a quick instagram search and found that there are very similar ones made in Australia so you might find a local artisan
DeleteNow I'm going to be looking up 'ceramic spoons' because they look beautiful. Reading that you tried each one in turn made me laugh. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful things make everyday life so much more enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThose spoons sure are different. Being round. And quite large(?). First thing I thought, and you'll forgive me as you are not averse to bodily sounds, their shape will make for perfect slurping, noisily.
ReplyDeleteU
They are really pretty.That's the kinda stuff I love. Earlier this year I bought some beautiful glass fish shaped plates and they are perfect for prawn cocktails .... or fish fingers... I'm dead classy :-)
ReplyDeleteSo funky elegant. How did they work out on the custard?
ReplyDeleteI made chicken soup last weekend, if you were closer I'd drop some by.
ReplyDeleteI love that you tried them all!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of ceramic soup spoons! The things I learn!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my...I bought a beautiful large soup server bowl (can't think of a term...more rustic than tureen) with bowls bought from a local potter..and now I want your spoons. Will search. I do have old fashioned pewter spoons but I NEED those ceramic ones now.
