here are some things i cannot find. do you know where they are?

1. my letter opener. when i paid bills this morning i was reduced to using a steak knife to slice open the envelopes. and my finger. won't you please help?

2. a pint of mushroom duxelles. shallots, mushrooms, butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. i made them in early june and tossed the container into the freezer...or so i thought. i have tossed both freezers thoroughly, but my mushrooms appear to have vanished without a trace. did you eat them?

3. one tablespoon. i do not keep my measuring spoons on a ring — if you love something, set it free. one of them has abused my trust and made good its escape. if you see it, please call the police. it could be armed and dangerous.
