After spending three days preparing twenty different courses, Nacha was exhausted

Two of those spoons have had a great deal of use. They look pretty old too - made from two parts of wood unlide the one in the middle - which I have just noticed is a pencil! Yep, 20 courses - especially if all hand mixed, is definitely exhausting work.
