FYI: You really can't use either the web page interface or the LJ client Logjam to edit a poll once the poll has been created. Once it's a poll, it's done and in an unchangeable format.

That being the case, please use the comments section to describe your situation vis a vis measuring spoons. If you don't own measuring spoons, please explain why not. If you do own measuring spoons, I'd like to hear about them. If you have more than one set, please say so. For each set of measuring spoons, tell me what they're made of. If they're plastic, tell me what color plastic. If you have metal measuring spoons, are they the cheap bendy ones with rounded bowls or are they the angular more-square-bowled kind that look classier? Do you have ones of ivory? Glass? Mother-of-pearl? Do tell. Do your measuring spoons have a ring connecting the set together? Are they loose? Do they match? Are they anything beyond purely utilitarian?

Full disclosure: I have two sets of the cheap, bendy metal measuring spoons with rounded bowls. Each set has a ring upon which the spoons are threaded so that they do not get lost. I have two sets because I cook stuff with a lot of measuring and I hate having to wash the spoons mid-cooking-event. I personally despise plastic measuring spoons.

I have mucho loose measuring spoons; at this point some of them are not full sets because I inherited some random ones when roommates moved on, but they are all loose and not in sets b/c I find it easier to work with them that way.

I have 1 full set black plastic rounded measuring spoons I bought because I was missing some of the odd sizes (1/8 tsp anyone?)

1 kinda full set white plastic measuring scoops with round measuring spoons built into the handles (1 cup measuring scoop has a 1 TBS measuring spoon as the end of the handle and so on down the sizes). I don't use these very often as measuring spoons because they are somewhat awkward with the scoop piece getting in the way (I bought them because wanted the scoop measuring cups, which I find really useful). There are four sizes in this set which I don't think of as complete for measuring spoons, but it's not like I am missing one, that's all there is, hence my description as kinda full set.

I have a mix of pieces of what was originally (based on the fact that I have 2 of several sizes) 2 sets blue plastic sort of rectangular measuring spoons. These are the ones I inherited from roommates that left them behind at the old place.

The one piece I actually use most often (and can't decide if it's a big measuring spoon or a small measuring cup) is a metal 1/8 cup size round diameter with straight sides so it looks like a cup but I tend to use it for spices and/or flavoring liquids like soy sauce so I think of it like a spoon. Have no idea where it came from; I think it was also one of the inherited pieces but who knows. Absolutely love it though.

Right! That one!
