Silverware Six Ways - The Beginning Of Something Huge #fff #56
I’ve been actively participating in this @foodfightfriday kitchen for a little over a year now. In blockchain time a year is equal to about three and a half days but in time, time, as in actual time, a whole year of doing the same thing is rare—let’s put it in perspective.
Wear the same pair of socks for one year. Wear as in wear, never take them off to sleep, wash, shower yourself, nothing—foot fungusitis amongus! Don’t cut your toenails for a whole year. Don’t pay your phone bill for a year or try staying offline for a whole year. Nose hairs—neglect those for one year. How about drawls? Don’t change your drawls for a whole year, let me know how that works out. I mean don’t turn them around, change them inside out, nothing for one whole year. It’s a long time. Speaking of time.
Each time I start a contender, by the time I get to right around here somewhere, I begin questioning myself because although I have no idea where I’m going with this article, I’m confident it’ll work itself out if I can just somehow tie these ideas together—local street art, food, humor, engagement and pioneer. Reaaddyyyyy-break!
So, what haven’t I covered in my first year in the arena? Promote Pura—check. Travel adventures—check. Been harassed by corrupt law enforcement, watched @puravidaville play second fiddle to a pita who added nutmeg to Pura’s falafel, restaurant reviews, tarantulas and stray dogs—check, check, check, check and check. Time lapse Pura’s recipes—check. Address sugar volume in baby food, petrol additives in cereal and packaged foods, curate the coolest kitchen on the blockchain—check, check and check. Silverware placement— check.
”Check!”
(you should click that check) I don’t think enough of us are taking our silverware placement seriously. Sure, we got our resident home run hitting food photographers like @lizelle, @birdsinparadise and @lenasveganliving but how much of their camera equipment is being devoted to their silverware placement? No check. The trainer and chef extraordinaire @plantstoplanks isn’t checking the silverware placement boxes either. Neither is @jlsplatts, @farm-mom, you either @scorer, I see you, @anggreklestari, @tasteem, nonya!
Ok. I decided to name the cover image you just clicked on Horizontal Spooning. It was either that or “fork yourself with a sideways spoon” although something about “how to mount a fork” doesn’t sound bad either but my mind’s made up—Horizontal Spooning with masala curry on rice, potato wedges and a vegetable salad:
Horizontal Spooning with bunny chow served on white rice with roasted broccoli and tomato slices:
I have a few more designs I’m currently working on, stay tuned, the art of silverware placement is going to catch on and we’ll be the pioneers of it.
The One-Upper
Together We Stand
Triple Lipper
There’s still some irons I need to get worked out and a few wrinkles in the fire but, considering the old traditional place setting is my only competition, I’m prepared for success.
Traditional and Bored
Or was it irons in the fire and wrinkles worked out? Something like that. However it goes, I still have a few fires in the iron I’m wrinkling out but custom table settings is where it’s at, check out this last one, Sundial, it’s revolutionary. It’s going to change the way people eat.
Sundial
Thanks for hangin out with me again, happy Friday. Have a great weekend, something yata something something and everything else you want me to say right here.

@dandays, there you go again, silverware of all things!
BUT, and it's a big BUTT, not that kind young man;) silverware is very very important and we neglect it all of the time.
My mother tells the story of when as a young girl, she was working in a factory canteen and someone asked her for a fokken knife! She was quite shocked and ran to her supervisor saying a customer was swearing at her but she did nothing wrong! Of course he was asking for was a fork & knife, never good to say it in that order! Knife and fork sounds much more polite!
I'll have you know I use my cell phone to take food photographs, I don't possess a fancy camera my dear @dandays.
And I must point out that your curry looks really good but you can only call it a Bunny Chow if you place it inside a hollowed out half loaf of bread, AND Bunny Chow is not eaten with any silverware, oh no sirree, you use your hands for that, scooping up the curry with chunks of bread that you break off.
Love your humour @dandays, always gives me a chuckle :):)
I so want to join #fff but I'm usually totally pooped by Fridays with guests departing and weekend guests arriving; can we post our Friday food on a Saturday or any other day for that matter?
Enjoy your weekend!
Pura is often correcting my menu items too. She’s made us the bunny chow before in a bowl of bread, sometimes I guess we don’t plate it right—I should work on renaming them when we don’t. 😉 She actually got that recipe originally from Ed Privat several months ago, another SA resident, delicious dish!
Great story about your mom. “Never good to say it in that order.” <- that’s funny!
I never would’ve guessed your images are shot with a cell phone. I though the three of you, Birds and Lena, each for sure had fancy camera equipment. More power to you, lizelle. 👍🏿
You’ll always have a seat waiting for you at the table. Don’t need to check your coat at the door or anything.
Thanks for stopping by @lizelle. Thank you for the Resteem, too, I’m glad you liked this article. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Just when i think ive seen it all 🤣 @dandays pulls through with another creation, awesome. Im digging that triple lipper but i think the Sundial won me over 😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🍴🥄🔪
Nice, I’m glad I can still keep your attention dude, good morning sir. You got any plans this weekend?
Yeah, that Sundial is a game changer for sure. I probably shouldn’t have released the prototype so early. 👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by @weirdheadaches.
Lol Nice 👍🏿
Yes, i just got done picking up some new fence post and will finally be fencing my property. Great for my dog, kid, and any would be thieves. Probably gonna hard wire some cameras also. And you, any plans? Oh yeah i was just eyeballing some kayaks too, so hopefully soon on that. Give England a "hello" for me :).
“Hello.”
We’ve actually been immobile at our current location. We’re in Hull right now, been here for two weeks and have two to go. This joint is a little different dude, we seem to have gotten ourselves a little busy.
It’s so quiet out there in a kayak.
Sounds cool bruv, wishing you the best ✌
I didn't hit the silverware drawer yet in my great kitchen purge. 😂 I'll also take an order of the sundial. 👍

Eh, whatever you don’t need in the silverware drawer just throw in the junk drawer, the one that no one ever purges ever. Have a nice weekend Miss Plants.

My pleasure. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.
An interesting read, and concept for NEW dining etiquette @dandays …
I'd bet that Pura had at least a slight hand in creating those masterful sculptures in the photos, beyond the creative food arrangement. (?)
You certainly deserve that @curie vote on this one my friend (should have been larger in my humble opinion)
That curie visit never hurts anyone feelings, thanks for noticing angryman.
I’m glad you liked this one sir, I had a good time putting it together, you’ve been pretty quiet lately, I hope all is well in your corner of the earth.
Thanks for stopping by @angryman.
Yes, @curie does a pretty good job at incentivising content creation here on Steemit, depending upon who and how many active curators participate.
I'm now on their discord, but have not gotten as active as I probably should; perhaps soon? I'm not part of their Trail because I enjoy manually curating, but will likely delegate a small sum to them shortly as a show of support.
All is well enough here, thank you...My activity here runs in cycles I guess, lately I've been posting about every two to three days though. Whether I'm posting or not, I'm usually curating though recently did a disappearing act in order to spend more time out there in the real world. :>)
Ciao, my friend...enjoy your UK journey with the lovely Pura at your side.

It’s always a pleasure hearing from you guys. Thanks for everything you do for the platform @c-squared.
Youu are just too funny @dandays! Brilliant my friend. I'll rember this proper fork placement with my next post! I hope you both are doing well, give my hugs to Pura, I miss her bright face amazing food! Sounds like the UK is treating you well. Blessings to you both!
Deal, deal, and deal! Thanks for always being so supportive. Pura’s got herself back in the classroom so it’s likely she’ll be on here even less than she is now which has been never for a few weeks. Have a good weekend, Birds. God bless you guys.
Thanks for stopping by @birdsinparadise.
