This cherry girl recently had to surrender and become employed once again. I now have the most wonderful of occupations…. I am officially the new architect of pastries. I sculpt Danishes, design strudels, engineer pies, mold éclairs…. And well you get the idea. The Patisserie is a perfect place for moi. Each time I hand deliver these delectables to a customer I know without a doubt that nothing short of supreme satisfaction will be the end result. Each day I see fifty plus smiles walk out the door and I know I have done a good day’s works.
However, one thing about my new headquarters of employment makes me a little restless…. the mess. No, this hedonist is in no way a clean freak but I do hate to see things go to waist. Hundreds of napkins, plates, forks, spoons you name it all end up in the trash.
This got me thinking, what if we could eat our dishware. I couldn’t let the thought go…. It just seems too obvious! Could you imagine your plate being part of your meal? The thought of eating my cup after a refreshing lemonade is enough to make me salivate!
One of my favorite movies of all time is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (circa 1971). Although it sounds gluttonous, I have always hoped one day ‘The Chocolate Room’ where everything was edible would one day be a reality. What a delectable existence!
After doing some research I found plenty of innovative projects in the works. I found edible straws to enhance your milk drinking experience, a cookie cup, spoons made from bread and other utensils made from ginger!
The following day I put my new fixation and my baking skills to the test. Using a basic dough mix for breadsticks I made myself yummy utensils. As a matter of fact made myself a whole months worth! Hopefully my very understanding manager will share my passion because I used all of the flour~.
I also decided that from now on, when I leave my abode I shall bring with me my own utensils and use them as opposed to using plastic.
Just some food for thought if you will….
Until next time xoxo
