I like having knives, forks, spoons left to right as that is how I say it “grab a knife and fork”.
I am staying in an Airbnb and they have the spoons separating the knives and forks and wonder if this is in insane or maybe I am the minority/insane one?
This was one of the earliest discussions I had when I moved in with my partner. She had the utensils spoon - fork - knife and I had knife-fork-spoon. (She won btw)
Where did you land on the dishwasher debate, utensils up or down in the cutlery basket? Our friends went with one of those top tray dishwashers to avoid that debate.
Up, since I fill the dishwasher 😅. I have been trying to convince her to get a top tray dishwasher, but for now I’ve not won the battle. Personally I prefer the convenience of not accedentially having a utensil outside the basket and messing with the rotor.
I find with my partner debates are a huge amount of compromise like your cutlery drawer. For example I wanted two kids, she wanted four, we compromised and had four.
