I went to a sushi restaurant last night and received a resounding F on chopstick skills. It was so resounding that the hostess took pity on me and brought me a fork- I was the only person in the entire restaurant to be given one.

Well that's just sad that you were the only one in the entire restaurant using a fork. Since you're reading newspapers online all the time, why don't you get a tutorial lesson via youtube on how to use chopsticks and then practice at home? That would be uber-cool you know...
Don't give up. It gets easier with practice and soon you won't want to eat Asian food without them.
I had Thai at lunch and felt weird when only a fork was available. Felt much better once the chopsticks came - and this from someone who was also all thumbs a couple of years ago.
Even Dad is getting the hang of chopsticks, although he does still do that little scrunchy face, you know, the one where his tongue slips out to the side just a bit. So cute! :-)
Megs - remember my perspective - it is far better to get the food in your mouth and enjoy it than how you move it from the plate to your mouth! However, given the fact that even I've learned enough that mom isn't embarrased to take me to a sushi bar....you're falling being in the Reddy family on this skill set! I have faith you will catch up and easily pass me like you did on the ski slopes etc.
No Meg, it wasn't being sarcastic, it was trying to keep you from starving. When in trouble go back to your basics. Ok, maybe you carried your basics up until you were 15 or so but hey, it worked;-)
Ok, for those who are having technical difficulties (cough cough GRANDPA) I think I fixed the problem. Before you had to be a registered user to comment on this blog, now anybody can comment.
You're welcome and, yes Grandpa, I know I am a wonderful granddaughter.

Why don't you just switch over to finger foods like spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.

Whose this crazy fellow calling himself Gramps? It couldn't be my Grandpa, he would never say a sarcastic statement towards me...

What a pain in the ass this site is. Everytime I go to post it says my password is in correct and I have to go through the sign up process again.
Write down your password and stop forgetting it!

Good job Megan, I think. This is just a test. We will see if it works.
Ok, If I click on anonymous, it will let me post but the problem is, I've never been anonymous in my life. What a way to go out.
This is a test to get my identity back.
Yea, it worked. Why the word verification every time you post?
I'm testing to see what Gramps is talking about
If you go under Name/Url and just type in your name, you don't have to do any word verification (or at least I didn't...)
Ok, Meg, let's see if it works? Nope, didn't work.
However, when I did go to Url and type in my name, it got rid of the sign in boxes so that's a good thing.
Ok, that's enough for one night. I have to get popcorn ready for CSI Miami.
