I started writing this post and got the song "Afternoons & Coffee Spoons" by the Crash Test Dummies stuck in my head. It's funny how that works...
These are my grandma's measuring spoons. They're old and a little bent, but It was nice putting them to use when I made my XXX Cherry + Chocolate Cookies.
Grandma used these to make all her baked stuff, but I particularly remember her using them to make pie crust. She'd use the tablespoon measure to add cold water to the flour/lard mixture. Mmmm. Grandma made the best pies.
Hey, those are my mom's. How'd you get them? :) I have a newer set like this also.

I have a set that passed from my Gram to my mom to me...anything made using those spoons is guaranteed to be a success. :)
