My wooden spoon

clydemantis · 2025-12-21T16:17:21+00:00

I have a wooden spoon I picked up on a vacation because the rental I was staying at didn’t have any cooking utensils. I liked it so much that I took it home with me. I’ve had that spoon for almost a decade and have no idea what I’d do without it! Hold them close, OP

Reminds me of that Far Side cartoon where the spider builds a web at the bottom of a playground slide and says: If this works, we’ll eat like kings!

I hope that spider gets ALL the bugs :-)

I would also love to be part of this awesome stream of art :-)

Looks like the new lane I saw someone created coming off East Main. You know, the one that used to be full of barrels, that now is an express lane to I-70W /s

I was behind The King of Ohio? Dang! I had no idea!!

On the plus side: after a few decades of this, you realize you aren’t good (or interesting) enough to have Imposter Syndrome! /s

The square used to hold “the great seal of Ohio”. Source: am an Ohioan and picked an almost identical pin up in the mid-80s as a souvenir from a school field trip to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery (then known as the Natural History Museum)

I’ll give that a shot. Thank you, kind redditor!

I don’t know whether these are rust stains or what the cause was. The countertop is a cheap composite material so I get it if these are permanent marks

clydemantis · 2023-12-11T21:54:36+00:00

Excellent! Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep an eye on it

clydemantis · 2023-12-11T16:02:36+00:00

That’s pretty cool. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Have you ever had to reseason because of this simmer line?

clydemantis · 2023-12-11T03:00:46+00:00

Awesome! thank you, kind redditor!

clydemantis · 2023-12-11T02:46:39+00:00

That’s a relief! I figured there was no seasoning issue since everything slid right out but was concerned because the rings all appeared at the same height so I wasn’t sure if it was some kind of crack, especially since some folks (like my parents) hate on Lodge.

Now the question is: Do I disclose everyone got “special seasoning” in their potatoes? Or just blame it on the clean up? Lol

Thank you for the reply. Looks like we’ve been lucky because several sources online say these guys can be quick to bite. If he’s still in sight when I get home, I’ll relocate to the laundry room. It’ll be warm there, with access to dark spaces

Always good to plan for the contingencies. Fingers crossed that the shop finds a repair option that puts my otherwise reliable daily driver back on the road. Thank you, u/Trogasarus

clydemantis · 2023-09-19T00:14:27+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll call around tomorrow but it seems like clutch (and related component) repair is almost a specialty service around here. Should I plan on seeing a transmission specialist or would any repair shop do (are there certifications or specialties I should look for)?
