The word "kymi, or kyma" in the middle is a Greek word for wave I've discovered.

Great guess, Grahamg, but it doesn't add up, because the backwards E, is not Greek, and is not found in the Greek alphabet or on the Greek keyboard.The word "kymi, or kyma" in the middle is a Greek word for wave I've discovered.
I was going to say, Ukrainian, but while working with the Ukrainian keyboard, I struggled to find two letters.

it’s about the size of a standard wooden spoon, no longer that 12-13 inches. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Ukrainian... a Family member has made trips there.
Well now that I know the size of it and that "HOCA" returns me with "teacher", it makes me wonder if the spoon wasn't intended for discipline.

I have no idea what language it is, but it translates as "I don't care if you want pancakes or not but I made pancakes and you're damned well gonna eat 'em or you're going to school hungry!" It's the universal "mother tongue", actually.

Reversed "3" you say is an "E" (?).
I'd think the drawing doesn't have any connotations about a spoon used for discipline, but a "dutiful wife" waving her magic wand over the cooking! .

"Its all Greek to me"!
Now I've discovered "x"s, and "k"s in Greek can be, or used to be the same thing(?).

Russia uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hence no H in it as shown on the spoon. Could be Ukrainian.

pizza peel is a board used to bake pizza on. Quite often when baking at home a pizza surface like a 20x20 tile can be used to duplicate a pizza oven surface. Typically the tile is heated to whatever the baking temp is for whatever you are baking
Substitutes for it can be card board, or parchment paper cut to the size needed for baking.
Thank you for the heads-up on pizza peels, Knight.
Well, that can only mean one thing... Gary O' is right!

When I was in school, it was called an "appleboard".
