<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Madison,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you cannot scoop the pasta up or stab it with your fork, try using a spoon to scoop it up.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or start by using your fork as a mini cane and finding out where the pasta is on the plate. Then pushing it all to one side and then pushing the pasta on to the fork with a piece of bread or a knife, or if nothing else, a spoon.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think those are all better than asking someone to help you!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And I also would suggest that you consider practicing a lot at home by yourself until you get the hang of whatever works best for you.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the sauce is thick, I usually use a fork. If the sauce is thin, and the pasta is short, then I might turn to the spoon.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good luck.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy new year.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I know that this isn’t a question about actually cooking something but since it’s food related I’m hoping that I won’t get in trouble for asking. I love pasta but I often have trouble getting it on the fork/spoon and
then keeping it on the utensil. I’m not talking about long stringy noodles either; I’m simply talking about macaroni and cheese and flat noodles (like Penn) with Alfredo sauce. My dad makes pasta and Alfredo sauce (no not from scratch) and I don’t have trouble
eating this or the frozen meals that you simply heat up in the microwave; it’s with eating pasta in restaurants that serve it in large bowls and pasta that we order that comes in the food delivery containers (especially in large ones) that I mainly struggle
with but I don’t want to just plain stop these sorts of things as they’re nice treats sometimes. I often have to get help from someone; I know they don’t mind but it’s really frustrating when you have trouble simply eating food. Any suggestions? Look forward
to anything that anyone can provide me!!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
