Tom, I know what you mean and what you are saying. I don't like to make a fool of myself and there have been many times I have not eaten the particular thing so I would not be made the laughing stock.
I can well remember in school when we used to get cartons of milk daily. Rather than be imbarrassed or get laughed at because I couldn't open the cartons, I would simply give my milk away. Finally I had the courage to tell my mother and she showed me how to open the cartons. She wasn't the most patient in those matters. Getting back to your sandwich eilemma, if you are with friends that can see, you can always ask them to do it. There is no shame in that. You don't have to go without the spreads you want on you’re sandwiches because of feeling inadequate to be able to spread them. If you are in a restaurant and you are alone, you can always ask the wait staff to fix it. Just like asking them to cut meat for you before they bring food to the table. I hope this gives you some encouragement.

You use your fingers for spreading? I have two questions. What about peanut butter? And, what if you wanted to do a sandwich and wanted both mayonnaise and mustard or something like that? What are good ways to spread those things? I find myself somewhat apprehensive when I'm with friends and they're all making their sandwiches or whatever. Sometimes I eat my sandwiches or toast plain because I don't always know how to do this. -----Original Message----- From: Mike and Jenna via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2015 8:08 AM To: [email protected]; 'Parham Doustdar' Subject: Re: [CnD] Question: spreading butter, jam, or cheese on a piece of bread Hi, I just get over myself wash my hands with soap and use my fingers for most things except peanut butter. -----Original Message----- From: Parham Doustdar via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2015 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] Question: spreading butter, jam, or cheese on a piece of bread Hi, This has been bugging me for a while, so I wonder if anyone has developed their own personalized technique for this. When I want to spread something on a piece of bread, I face two problems: 1. Without using my hands, I'm not sure how much of the butter, cheese or whatever I've picked with my knife, or in some cases, my spoon. 2. Even though I have tried putting whatever I want to spread in the center of the bread and spreading it to the sides (I've read this technique somewhere on the net), the cheese or butter doesn't get spread evenly. How do you guys solve these two problems? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
