I use my fingers to measure tablespoons. The width of one finger is about
one tablespoon of butter/margarine.
Hope that helps,
Becky

Subject: [CnD] Any hints for cutting tablespoons of butter off a stick?
Hi all,
I usually have a sighted person cut the proper amount of butter off the
sticks we keep, because I always forget to pickup one of those slicers.
Today, though, it's just me, but I want to make a cake for when everyone
else gets home. It calls for two tablespoons of butter, and all I have are
the usual 8-tablespoon sticks. Does anyone have any hints on how I might cut
the proper amount, given that I can't, of course, see the markings on the
butter's wrapper? This cake is somewhat forgiving, but I'm notoriously bad
at estimating butter and I'd rather not take a chance on messing up the rest
of the cake if I don't have to. Thanks.

Have a great day,
