We came up with this idea the other day, and it turned out to be a very handy tool in the kitchen.
We are fond of stuffed vegetables, like tomatoes, zucchini (courgette), mushrooms, aubergenes (eggplant) etc. In order to speed up the process and save the risk of damaging the "shells", Cris, being his usual "Mr. DIY" self, got a brilliant idea of taking one of the stray spoons which doesn't match with anything else, sharpened around the edges with a file (sharp enough to dig through the inside of the vegetables but not so sharp as a knife). Now this turned out to be a mini-shovel perfect for the purpose of making stuffed-just-about-anything, with this spoon you can easily dig out the inside or seeds without a lot of worry about accidentally splitting, cracking or poking a hole on the shells.
I am sure those stray spoons lay around in the drawers of every household, just wanted to share this great idea for its use
