After years of service, Jodi, one of my wooden spoons died. It served me well, all over the country in all sorts of recipes. Jodi was the name written of the end of the spoon in marker. I have to assume that ther person who owned this spoon before me was named Jodi. I found it in my youth while dumpster diving. In fact, I have a whole line of dumpstered wooden cooking utensils, but Jodi was a favorite. She will be missed.
