But oh was it good…

Anyway, I usually just use our spoons to scoop the ice cream
since the two years I spent post marriage shopping for the right silverware
were well spent. My wife frequently tells people how we agreed to disagree on
silverware for those two years. But the good news is we came out better for it.
Too many of the sets we found were just sissy looking and feeling. I want beefy
silverware - a fork I can cut meat with if needs be. A knife that's
consequently only used for sawing through butter or spreading peanut butter. A
spoon that can scoop ice cream like nobody's business.
So in that shopping period, I subjected every rare set of
silverware we agreed to aesthetically to the “ice-cream test.” This is
Guantanamo Bay for spoons.
