Three forks per meal.
The cafeterias here at microsoft now have new compostable serviceware. It is more rigid than the old compostable serviceware and therefore more effective at piercing and cutting, but this performance comes at a price: exposure to even moderate warmth causes it to warp and melt, imagining itself to have reached its destiny in the compost heap. Needless to say, this makes it an ineffective tool for the consumption of hot food, and today i heated my delicious leftover lunch (chicken with apricot, goat cheese, and almonds—kelly is a genius!), dooming me to go through three of the forks before finishing my meal. (today’s photo furnished by sumit, herself supplied with several spoons to handle a single bowl of soup.)
