Lacroix, darling ...

...well, not really Lacroix, but Laguiole! Much better in my books.
My fight against same-same, matchy-matchy continues.
This time I attacked the cutlery drawer. We've had the same knives and forks and spoons for longer than we've been married. I'm a bit over them.
And so, when we spotted this sort of thing at a nice French restaurant we went to recently my google-scouring began.I found them at FrenchOnly.They arrived yesterday morning.This morning they were washed. And tonight they will be pressed into service.I think Zoomie will like the bees.And this is as close as you'll get to a photo of me on the interwebs! Now, of course, I want one of these.

Such joy. I TOTALLY love your choice. Love.
Just today, I bought two of the teensy, teensy spoons (in ivory) for an upcoming degustation. While I was in the store, I was temporarily distracted by sets of bamboo tableware. I resisted.
I love your stuff.
(The BEE!)

Lee, You're too kind :) The colours make me smile at the cutlery drawer.
E - I was so glad I could find them at a reasonable price, they're about $500ish for 6 steak knives here, too much for a sensible girl like me ;)
Cookie, one day I'll show you my apostle teaspoons, little mummy-like men on 'poons!
Is it a caviar degustation, what you're getting the spoons for?
We're going to a game one on Tuesday, can't WAIT!

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Also, yes, BEES!

No, much nuttier than a caviar degustation. It's going to be an aperitif of fine olive oil with little greens in it. Totally nutty.

Wendy, there's a link in the post, should be cheaper for you, postagewise, given you're in the UK and all.
Cookie, interesting!
Our game degustation was canceled last night due to lack of interest :( I's so fucking disappointed and cross with Sydney folk who have no sense of dining adventure.
