With the help of measuring spoons you always use exactly the right amount of ingredients during cooking and baking. This way you are always assured of a successful result, whatever dish you make!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday.
Yesterday I had an awesome time with my family. We were celebrating my parents 52 wedding anniversary and guess what ? We went to a restaurant ! The last time we were all together in a restaurant was at the end of 2019. Of course, we had (or should I say : I had) way too much food and alcohol (especially alcohol in my case)… so as we all expected it: I have a huge hangover today. My day should be very interesting, since I have to (actively) help my son making a gorilla from « papier maché » for a school project due Monday morning (yes, I know it is only 24 hours away…). Gorillas are my youngest son’s favorite animals. Each year, my son secretly hopes, that we will adopt a gorilla and he will happily live with us like a family member. As a mom, I’m absolutely agains it: gorillas are almost as messy as my kids and I dont want to have extra house chores… on the other hand maybe we could train the gorilla to make all the house chores for us (maybe he will be a better cook than I am !!)… but I’m pretty much sure there must be some laws against it… It is very possible that I will not be able to answer all your comments today: making a gorilla from paper isn’t an easy task especially when your hair is hurting and your vision is still blurry…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

As far as iconic pieces of public art go, none may be as daringly modern or whimsical as Minneapolis’ iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry.
This giant spoon and cherry was erected in 1985 by artist Claes Oldenburg and his wife, Coosje van Bruggen and is the centerpiece of the Walker Art Center’s Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the largest urban sculpture park in the world. Oldenburg is an artist who is known for making oversized versions of everyday objects and food products. Together with his wife he set up a number of public sculptures, including Chicago’s Batcolumn sculpture. The spoon was Oldenburg’s idea, who had a habit of doodling spoons ever since 1962 when he was inspired by a spoon resting on a piece of fake chocolate. The cherry in the piece was van Bruggen’s idea, wanting to use it as a comment on the garden’s otherwise staid layout.
The spoon itself weighs 5,800 pounds and the cherry, another 1,200 pounds. The cherry’s stem also acts as a fountain which sprays into the bowl of the spoon and off into the pond beneath. Even the pond itself has meaning, being shaped to resemble a linden seed, drawing attention to the rows of linden trees planted nearby.
The city of Minneapolis seems to have largely embraced the massive sculpture, expressing almost universal outrage when Spoonbridge and Cherry was vandalized in 2012 as part of a “Kony 2012” protest. The artwork was cleaned up and still remains as a somewhat goofy, definitely unforgettable icon of the Minnesota city.
Macro Mondays theme : broken
I dropped my little spoon
and it broke in two.
The little flower
has lost it power.
I tried to catch it with all my might,
but alas I captured it in sidelight.

Another image from my spoon and forks session. My previous posting of a similar abstract image was in b/w and was well received. This time another angle and shot but in colour. However if you wish to compare please see below.

Hidden at the back of a small workshop in an off the beaten track Cuban town I found this creative piece of art.
An abstract macro of reflections on spoons, knives and forks reflecting on the meals they've shared together. #reflection #utensils #macro #abstract #食器 #Geschirr #Makro #vaisselle
Another rainy day and no chance to get ouside for some shooting. So why not playing around with the stuff that`s inside the house ? Sometimes it doesn`t need much for a macro image. Thought i go for some reflections this afternoon and found something little in my kitchen. Here you go - i call it "spoon reflections" :)
Thank you for your visits, comments and favs!
