Victoria,
If alone, and in a rush, I use my fingers, of course, thoroughly washing
hands first. I sometimes use those bottles where you squeeze out the
mayo or
mustard, instead of getting it out of the jar with a knife. that works
better, and you can go all over the bread or roll and keep moving the
jar,
and squeeze, and it comes out pretty neatly.
Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment!

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.
Victoria

Oh, interesting. 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.

Hi,
I just get over myself wash my hands with soap and use my fingers for
most
things except peanut butter.

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!
