Another "I thought I was the only one" moment!

I have a favorite type of bowl and a favorite spoon. I prefer small forks to big forks and small cups to big cups. It's not that I NEED it to be that way, I just prefer it.
I also have certain utensils/tableware that go with different foods (a pasta fork as opposed to a cake fork; a certain bowl that I use every time I make instant ramen). Does anyone else do this?

I remember when I was a kid I used to make special drinks, I'd put all the things in I really really liked the taste of to make the ultimate drink. It never occurred to me that mixing things such as butter, jam, milk, sugar, chocolate, bread and cereal in a huge glass would result in anything other then a rancid glass of sludge.

I also sometimes used a spoon for drinks when I was little. I would also only ever eat desserts with a small tea spoon which I still do now, even if it's a huge slab of cake I will sit and eat it with a tea spoon. I still can't get over my husband eating cake with a fork, to me fork's are for your main meal, savoury items and NOT sweet things like cake. I also don't like using a knife with my meal, I will use the fork to cut things up. This is partially because I don't like how a knife feels in my hand and partially because it means less washing up

i cannot leave any morsels of food on my plate. when i'm treating myself to a dollar menu at mickey-D's, i lick up every crumb inside the wrapper, every drop of ketchup and every wayward bit of chopped onion and lettuce. after i eat out of my goulash bowl, i have to take a hard sharp-edged plastic scraper and scrape off every bit of food stuck to the sides of the bowl or on the plate. if i drink soda out of a can, after i empty it i have to turn the can upside down over my mouth and suck the remaining drops out of the can, then i shake the can to hear if i left any drops behind, then repeat the process.

i used to amuse my [late] mother by licking my bowls and plates so thoroughly that she couldn't tell if they had been eaten out/off-of.
