I have two wooden spoons that I use. One is a spoon that I found at a playground when I was about 7 yrs old. I took it home to mom and she cleaned it up and used it all the time! Then she passed it back to me and I have had it ever since. There is one thing we always use it for. She made a candy at Christmas called pralines. WAYYYYYY sweet, but just not the same without that old wooden spoon. I treasure that spoon and it even looks well worn!
