    At age 35 you should be considering throwing out (well, donating) the misc silverware for a matching set, I think. This was more of an issue in my 20s when my silverware was all mismatching.

      For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.

      It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I’ve had a complete set of matching silverware since.

      …except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I’ve held onto for over 40 years that doesn’t match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.

      • Yeah, it’s funny, I’ve replaced almost all of my silverware but I still have a couple of spoons that are from the set my parents had when I was growing up. It’s an oddly nostalgic thing.
