If the real c haven't said anything I wouldn't worry about it. Cutting
food to serve is part of the cooking and preparation. My parents spent a
lot of time teaching me how to handle cooking implements, and they also
helped many of my blind friends who weren't getting much help at home.

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.
