[Blindtlk] struggling with blindness skills

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

Good morning. For  spreading, start at the middle, and work diagonally toward the corners. In case of rounds, start in the middle, spread right to left, then top to bottom. Now some people use spreaders, which are flat blades, wider than a kitchen knife. They do give you more coverage, but are not used at table.

Hi guys,

I'm struggling with blindness skills in two areas. One is eating food without my fingers, and the other is spreading condiments and butter. What are your strategies for eating without using your fingers, for non-finger food? Some foods are feelable, like meat, so it's easy to use a knife/pusher to shovel them onto the plate. With hot cereal, I tap the spoon around to see if there is anything left. But Some foods are harder, like mashed potatoes on a plate.

Spreading condiments / butter is hard for me, especially butter. I try to feel with the knife to see if I've spread around the whole length of the bread, and frequently, I've hadn't.

I would appreciate any tips or alternative techniques on all these things!
