How I :heart: thee.

So does anyone else use little spoons to eat their desserts??? My boyfriend thinks I'm a nut because I absolutely adore them. It takes me longer to eat my little portions of heaven, so I feel like I am getting more and it is very satisfying. My grandmother got me hooked, by giving me the baby spoon she use to feed me with. She gave it to me a while ago, she has now since passed, but the other day I found the cutest little spoon and it made me think of her. So I had to buy it!

Anyone else use them or have any other "little" antics up their sleeves??

    Lol, I do the same thing! I bought these baby spoons for when my friends baby would visit, and now I grab them everytime I'm eating dessert. Same thing. My husband probably thinks I'm going nuts, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

    Well I'm glad I am not the only one. I can now stick up for myself knowing that you all do the same and are having great results to show for it!!! :wink:

    I contemplated the little fork porka29, it might be a next purchase. I know, I am splurging. :laugh:

    Have a good day!!!:flowerforyou:

    If you like the little spoon, you'll love little fork. It doesn't work a nicely if you use a steak knife w/it, but fun otherwise:happy: :tongue:

    I loooooove baby spoons!!!! I always use them for my desserts!!! I also like to use tiny dessert forks for my meals sometimes - less food fits on the fork and so I am eating longer- silly, but it works for me:bigsmile: :bigsmile: And it's oddly ...fun:tongue:

    ....and little bowls. I use those teensy 1 oz votive candle holders for snacks of nuts or any other high cal or high fat things..

    I'll bet chopsticks for everything would work wonders too. (well except soup....)

    Exactly! It really is a mind trick sometimes. I would rather see a very small bowl filled ALL the way! :happy: than to see a HUGE bowl with no food :mad: Its the half full concept.... vs the half empty.. My tummy might be full but I'm sure hoping to have my pants half empty!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    WOW! I never thought of using the little spoons, what a great idea. I have tons of them for my toddler, I use his little bowls all the time, but never the spoons! I am such a sugar junkie too, next time I have a treat I am going to try that... thanx for the tip!:wink:

    I saw this article (I can't remember which magazine) about the 9" dinner plate. Apparently this man moved into an older house and realized that his 12" dinner plates did not fit in his cupboards so he had to use the 9" ones that came with the house. Over time our society has increased the size of our plate, therefore increasing the size of our portions. Maybe we're on to something... :D
