That's what moms are for. Here are her silverware tips: Find ones that are a nice weight in your hand. Not like bricks, but not about to fly away either. If the ends are too pointy, they stab into your hand when you are cutting. Clever. Some silverware just will.not.stay on the side of the plate. Annoying. Too curvy can sometimes lead to this issue. I'm a fan of 4 tines instead of 3 on forks. 3 tines make me feel kind of cave man, plus they don't really work. Nice work on the baby steps. Though not an excellent cook by any means, I love shopping for kitchen stuff. I will hold your hand, in person or via phone, any day. Hell, I have popover pans and a Calvin Klein creamer pitcher (Ross, clearance)! My mom is so freaking smart about these sorts of things. That’s what moms are for.
