How are you holding the fork and knife in relation to each other? I find it best to put the knife blade against the back of the fork, then cut down from there. Also, you will have to reposition the fork for each cut, at least I do. That way you can use the fork to help judge the size of the piece you will be cutting, and having the fork close to the knife gives you more stabilizing ability. I hope I understood you correctly.

No! I do not want you to shut up.

Hehehe, no offense taken ... Hope you're not either ... Eating with my hands is probably appalling to you and I'm sorry to offend you. ... So I didn't understand an do now, how do you mean cutting food out from under the fork? If you want me to shut up because I'm not being of any help, I will. Smile just say so, No, is the answer if it is no. I'm really sorry.

I am trying to cut the food for myself but I do not like cutting one bight at a time. That is why I want to learn how to do it all at once. Wen I try to cut from the edge in, Every time I make a cut a new edge is formed and I can not tell what edge to cut from. I do not want to touch my food because that makes my hands messy and other people do not like me touching my food. I do not like touching my food either. When I try to hold the food from moving with the fork I end up cutting the food out from under the fork and then it moves around. I do not mean to offend you. That is just my feelings around the situation. Sorry for the long email. sent from my BrailleNote ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected] To: <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:05:24 -0500 Subject: [CnD] cutting food. Hi, Jessica, Learning to cut food takes some practice. It's always best to start from the edge and work in; if you are cutting it for yourself, perhaps cutting one bite at a time would be easier. If you are cutting it for some one else, such as a young child, you may need the help of a very clean finger to touch the edge of the food and guide you to where to make the next cut. Using a fork to hold the food in place also keeps it from sliding all over the plate.
