Put your finger in the cup where you want the
liquid to stop. You will know when you hit that spot.

It sounds like people around you are trying to
teach you what they can. When you have questions
about how to do something, you can ask, and
people will tell you what they do, if they can
describe it in words. I am not a coffee drinker
so don't pour hot liquids into cups. > > Pamela

probably help you learn more about cooking if we
knew what you had to cook with and if you have
storage space in a refrigerator or a kitchen to
work with. It would also be helpful to know if
you are new to blindness, and your age range,
and what sorts of things you want to cook for
yourself. Most of us here either like to collect
recipes or do cooking in our own homes. We
collect recipes that interest us whether we can
cook them now or at a later date. If you are a
beginner cook with truly no experience, you need
a teacher to come teach you basic safety
techniques and get you started. >> >> Pamela
