[Blindtlk] struggling with blindness skills

One thing that might help with mashed potatoes on a plate is to corral them
with your fork to the same space on your plate as you eat them.  You can
maneuver food away from the edges of your plate with your fork without
having to use another piece of bread to do that.

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!
