which_chickFYI: 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.

Date: 2008-08-16 05:32 pm (UTC)One set came with Eric - Oxo measuring spoons, strong high-quality hemispherical metal bowls with a skooshy rubbery Oxo grip molded onto the handles, on a ring.
Two sets came with me - pink made-in-china plastic that I knew I had, and "old gold" plastic that I probably inherited from my grandmother; both oval-shaped bowls, snap-together construction, hole for a ring but no ring.
One set I bought specifically so that Peter could have a soup spoon (the Tablespoon measure): 2-color plastic, Good Cook brand, circular bowls, snap-together with a hole for a not-provided ring.
No bendy ones at all.
