Turkey Full O’Spoons for Lou

When Lou showed a blog of his hand-formed wooden spoons, I had to brag about all of mine. Here they are in permanent display in my kitchen. I sometimes use 5 per recipe. Easier than rinsing and drying off the same spoon with each ingredient added. I purchased these during years of doing art and craft shows as well as on the street from vendors since I moved to Mexico. I hope Lou will put a link to the blog showing his spoons in comments…

When Re-Farmer published a blog about making his lovely wooden spoons, I had to make a comment about how much I love all of the handmade wooden spoons and other wooden implements that I have purchased over the years and the Turkey with holes all over it that I bought years ago and ended up using to display some of  the wooden spoons, knives, forks and spatulas I’ve purchased over the years. I have been using some of them for over 30 years and they are all still serviceable.

I remarked that I’d like to send him photos of them but in the end, the easiest way seemed to be to publish them on my blog. Holding some of the implements with handles too large to fit in the holes of the turkey is a hand-carved buna (coffee) holder that I bought in Ethiopia in 1973. The other wooden implement is my grandmother’s lemon squeezer. See Re-Farmer’s  spoons HERE.
