Lois, I'm not quite sure what your question is but if it's how to
use sharp knives, when cutting, put the meat or other food to be
cut on a cutting board and slice with your knife, leaving your
other hand behind the knife to anchor the food. Does that help?

No one has said anything about what I asked. I wasn't trying to
stur up trouble I was asking a honest question. I think it is
within the guidelines of the list. If it is off topic I will
shut up, but I will not leave the list.

I am sure Charles is right, but noone usually talks about that
kind of thing. So I will try to start it off, smile. No, it
isn't about cutting meat at the table, but the best way to use a
knife while cooking. I have a fear of sharp knives. Tell me if
this is on topic.

I think you've described this list just right. I suspect
that the problem
we ran into earlier in the week was the length of time spent
on this one
topic. Possibly much of what was discussed could have been
handled off
list. Could we have a bit of clarification from Dale and
steve?

Just a personal opinion, but here goes: While how to load
and operate a
dish washer could be thought of as food related, it doesn't
have anything to
do with cooking, nor does cutting the food. I think this
list is for how to
prepare a recipe, cook it safely. I think that, originally,
this list was
meant as a way for blind people to help each other become
better cooks by
sharing not only recipes, but also, and more importantly,
sharing tips on
how to, as a blind person, perform the tasks of recipe
preparation and food
cooking. I think the list has gotten away from being a list
for that
purpose. Recipes are gotten from the Internet, some are not
even reworked.
They still have unnecessary clutter in them. People send in
stuff they
haven't tried as a blind person. I would like to see a lot
fewer copied
recipes, and a lot more recipes with "how to do this as a
blind person",
written by a blind person who actually does it. Dale's
weekly program,
"cooking in the dark" not only gives a recipe, but how! he!
makes! it!,
especially the technique and the tools he uses. That, to me,
is what this
list either was, or should be. Whit this in mind, am I on
the right list?,
or should I subscribe to another. Thanks.

Hi. I have to apologise for all of this. I am new to this
list. I did not
know that this list was just for recipes. I thought that
because it was
called cooking in the dark that you could talk about anything
cooking
related. I also read as a part of the subscription rules that
no questions
were stupid because everyone cooks at a different level. Maybe
I took that
too literally, but that is what I got out of it. Maybe if we
are only
supposed to talk about recipes on this list and not talk about
other
aspects of cooking then this list should be called recipes in
the dark
instead of cooking in the dark. I was going to ask other
questions like
how to load and unload a dishwasher and how to make food look
good when
you are going to be serving it to a bunch of people and how to
tell wen
all of the ingredients are mixed in to the food properly and
lots of other
stuff as well. Now I see that this is the wrong place for that
kind of
stuff. I need a lot of help with my cooking skills before any
of these
recipes you are talking about will do me any good. At this
point, I would
not know how to do any of these recipes you are talking about.
Not even
the microwave ones. This list is too advanced for me. When I
signed up for
it I thought that we could talk about anything cooking or food
related.
The name cooking in the dark threw me off and made me think that
this was
a cooking list not just a list for recipes. Now that I am
reading all of
the mail from this list, I see that all people talk about on
here is
recipes. I am sorry! Maybe I need to go and find myself a
different list.
