Thanks very much for that. I appreciate it. I will keep this in mind when I try again. I guess I don't care in my own kitchen. I began thinking about it when I was spending time with people on a weekend trip, and we all shared a kitchen. I guess there are just some things blind people do that are a little different. I will need opportunities to practice and get my confidence up though.

I'll try to share them with you, so, here goes. The first thing to know is that because you are blind, your fingers are your eyes. The only way you can get that butter spread on the toast is to put the butter on a spoon or a knife, use that silverware to get the butter on the bread the best you can. Use a finger to get the butter or catsup on evenily. Always keep in mind these two things. Sighted people look what they are doing when spreading. You need to use your fingers to help you know what you are doing. The other thing to always be sure to do is to make sure you wash your hands before doing anything with food. Your fingers aren't going to hurt the bread. As for the squeeze bottles for mustard, catsup,pickle relish, or sour cream are great. I give those bottles one good squirt, and I use my clean fingers to spread the condiments evenly on the hotdog or burger. Hopefully this will help. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them. Someone is always willing to help and to answer your questions _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
