I always put my item which I am using at the back of the counter or by the
sink. I never leave a container in the middle of the counter. If this does
not work put your container which you are using in a tray.

Subject: Re: [CnD] Frustrations in the kitchen sometimes
I'm really surprised that when this topic was discussed a while back,
nobody mentioned my biggest problem. That is dropping and/or knocking
things over. I always try to put the lids back on things when they are not
actually in use, but I do fear knocking the thing over while I'm reaching
for the lid to put back on. Fortunately, I am not a coffee drinker so I
do not knock mugs over unless they are my reader's when I'm reaching to
hand her something. Sighted people have this problem to some extent too,
because my reader says that from actual experience the worst things to
drop are blueberries. Isn't it fun to think you have them all, and then
later when you've forgotten all about them, you step on one so you have a
blue spot on the floor and your footwear. Cherry tomatoes and grapes are
second and third in line. And have you had the pleasure of trying to
clean up spilled salad dressing or oil? What brings this up is that this
morning I knocked over my container of pistachios while I was nibbling on
a few. Well, first I had to put my guide dog in her crate, and my pet dog
outside because my guide dog is a lab so she thinks vacuum cleaner is in
her job description. Then I crawled around for about 15 minutes picking
up pistachios. I actually did very well because when the dogs were
allowed back, I only heard about 8 or 9 crunches. I hope this gives you
all a good laugh because I really don't think I am the only one who has
this problem so I think you can sympathize and maybe elaborate on the
subject. And I might as well ask a question. If something like a
blueberry, pistachio or tomato falls on the floor but has not been
squashed, do you throw it out or do you wash it of and use it?

I really got to razz my sighted Mom once when she put liquid smoke into a
double batch of oatmeal raisin cookies instead of vanilla. Let's just say
that they certainly had a unique flavor??

Losing something you just had in your hand a second ago will drive you
crazy!
"Where did I put it?" I have asked myself a million times it seems.
It especially gets on my nerves when we have to stop recording a Cooking
in the Dark show so I can find what I just had in my hand...
To help me keep my blood pressure down, I have tried to teach myself to
put things back where they go after I have used them....
I am still trying to teach myself this.
Getting better but I did lose the hot sauce today...
I have taught myself to lean my cooking utensil, spoon, spatula, tongs,
etc, in the sink...
actually I lean them in the front left and corner of my sink.
That way when I need to grab the utensil, I always know where they
are...
Keep on trucking Jerry!
Heck, once when I was making a meat loaf, I accidentally added a package
of vanilla pudding...I thought it was my bag of onion and mushroom soup
mix...
Anyway, that meat loaf was sweet and it was orange! I did not figure out
why it was that way until after dinner...my wife still won't let me live
that one down ! (grin)

Hi all.
So sometimes when Im cooking, I forget where I set things down like the
garlic or a bottle of sauce. The other day I was frying some corn taco
shells and kept losing the tongs. Sometimes...or most of the time the
kids will need me for something and I get distracted. Does this happen
to any of you?
