That's okay. Then, as Alex described, you simply locate the food again with the knife and fork and make your next cut. I have a hunch you're not doing nearly as badly as you think. If, as he says, you can find a friend to work with, one who will not only be honest but who also will not be critical, I think you'll do just fine. If that friend is also a blind person, that's even better!

I don't follow what you mean by the food that the fork is under. The fork is stabbed down into the meat, then you use the fork as a guide for the knife. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jessica" <jessicabrown...@gmail.com To: <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 5:55 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] cutting food.

Hehehe, no offense taken ... Hope you're not either ... Eating with my hands is probably appalling to you and I'm sorry to offend you. ... So I didn't understand an do now, how do you mean cutting food out from under the fork? If you want me to shut up because I'm not being of any help, I will. Smile just say so, No, is the answer if it is no. I'm really sorry.

Hi. I am trying to cut the food for myself but I do not like cutting one bight at a time. That is why I want to learn how to do it all at once. Wen I try to cut from the edge in, Every time I make a cut a new edge is formed and I can not tell what edge to cut from. I do not want to touch my food because that makes my hands messy and other people do not like me touching my food. I do not like touching my food either. When I try to hold the food from moving with the fork I end up cutting the food out from under the fork and then it moves around. I do not mean to offend you. That is just my feelings around the situation. Sorry for the long email. sent from my BrailleNote ----- Original Message ----- From: <ajackson...@att.net To: <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Date sent: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:05:24 -0500 Subject: [CnD] cutting food. Hi, Jessica, Learning to cut food takes some practice. It's always best to start from the edge and work in; if you are cutting it for yourself, perhaps cutting one bite at a time would be easier. If you are cutting it for some one else, such as a young child, you may need the help of a very clean finger to touch the edge of the food and guide you to where to make the next cut. Using a fork to hold the food in place also keeps it from sliding all over the plate. Hope this helps, Alice _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
