I wanted to point out an error which, while small, has an important impact on play.
In the Kitchen, when you try to take the ladle, it says, "I don't want to." However, if you check your inventory afterward, you are in fact holding the ladle. I had the ladle for a good bit of time before I realized it. I still haven't figured out what to do with it, but I wanted to make sure others weren't confused by this.

The secret of the ladle (highlight text): It doesn't do anything. I shouldn't have let it be take-able. But I'll pretend it's a secret easter egg quest and you get extra points if you carry it with you to the end of the game.
