I have a very small kitchen so there are not a lot of extras - it seems like it at times because I have pots for when I do my canning. At Christmas I decided to make a bunch of different cookies - my DD's never did care for baking, even when they were little so it had been about 30 years since I made cookies. I thought I had given away all my cookie cutters but found them in one of the pots - so I even got to make sugar cookies. Yesterday we made lemon bars - my daughter had a box mix she was sure wouldn't be made unless she brought it over.
So some reason the utensil drawer does seem to get overloaded - not sure how it happens but it does, so we clear it out every few years.
