A mug fell on my souvenir spoon rest. I was trying to hang the mug on the hook above. It slipped out of my hand and cracked the otter. Not into smithereens, though.
I bought the glass otter spoon rest when my sister and I were on our 2016 Alaska trip. It was an artist cooperative shop in Homer.
Now I should just throw it out.
But I’m looking at it on and off for a day, wondering.
Could I glue it?
Such a clean break.
It’s just a spoon rest. It’s broken.
Why do I think about it? Gather the pieces and put them in the trash!
Wikipedia answers this question and says…
What is the point of a spoon rest?
A spoon rest (also known as a dublé) is a piece of kitchenware that serves as a place to lay spoons and other cooking utensils, to prevent cooking fluids from getting onto countertops, as well as keeping the spoon from touching any contaminants that might be on the counter.
A saucer works just as well- holds the cooking spoon after I stir the sauce. Never touches the counter. Phew!
