Improvisation in the kitchen

Owing to all the knives being in the dishwasher, and the dishwasher being at one of those "really don't open" parts of its cycle, I can now report that it's perfectly possible to spread butter and evil on your toast with a teaspoon.

And irrelevantly: for anyone who cared deeply about the elephant/alephant/oliphant debate, we now have a shiny new green box. So all is well again :)
