George Nelson Spoon Fork Clock – It’s Time to Eat!

George Nelson Spoon Fork ClockI am learning that a lot of the readers of this blog come here looking for ideas for their cafe or restaurant. We write for the cook at home and at work so I think in every case the products we look at will interest everyone. And I’m glad to say this is one of those products, but I will admit that I first thought this would look great in any cafe.

George Nelson Associates created the first clocks for Howard Miller in 1947. One of their first creations was the “Ball Clock”. This “Spoon Fork Clock” is following that style and still made by the company that started it all. It’s 16 inches wide and is made of real cutlery with the exception of the little fork and knife hands. It runs on one AA battery. This clock will always have you answering that the time is “Time to eat”.

Stainless Steel Chopstick & Spoon Set (Square Korean Style – Sujeo)

Stainless Steel Chopstick & Spoon Set (Square Korean Style - Sujeo)This stainless steel set of chopsticks and spoon looks very nice. It’s a set of cutlery that is the Korean Sujeo style.

Besides the really cool checkerboard design there is something else that makes this set a little different. It’s the classic Korean “square” style for the chopsticks. Not the rounded ends you might see on regular chopsticks. These are flat handled and square. This design make for easier eating of noodles and other foods as the edge catches the food better. That top end of the handle is used to serve food to other guests or to transfer your own to your bowl or plate. And the spoon is actually used for eating rice, which makes more sense to me. And one last difference is they are shorter than usual as well at 8.5 inches long and 1/16 inch thick.

I really want to try these as I’ve found the traditional rounded chopsticks don’t work well for Soba noodles. Anyone tried these?

Peleg Design Jumbo Cutlery Drainer

jumbo cutlery drainerThis is a great looking Christmas gift. Peleg Design has this wonderful elephant cutlery drainer that is a treat for the eyes and very useful. It’s one of those things that when you see it you ask yourself “Why didn’t someone invent this before?”.

Their description of it really says everything: “Sometimes, a runny nose can be a big plus. Jumbo the elephant will be more than happy to drain all excess water from your wet cutlery straight into the sink.”.

Made of plastic and perfect for stuffing with all your dripping forks, knives and spoons. And it’s a multi-tasker as it could be used for toothbrushes in the children’s bathroom.

Bucilla Santa & Mrs. Silverware Holders for Christmas

Bucilla Santa & Mrs. Silverware Holders

 

 

I’m sorry for posting this, but if you are going to be ready you should start your online shopping for Christmas now. I’m not saying it’s time to put out the decorations and setup the tree. But now is the time to prepare.

And if you want that Christmas dinner table to look festive then I would suggest these cute silverware holders. Be warned that these are not pre-assembled as they are a kit (isn’t that a Xmas tradition in the first place?).

Made of stamped felt each kit includes embroidery floss, beads and needles. Each piece in this set of 6 is sized 7.25-inches by 5.5-inches.

A nice Christmas Cutlery Craft for the holiday season.
