Better Practice.....LOTS!!

While doing my blog surfing today I came across this blog that had instructions on how to use Chopsticks. I thought since my "attempt" on Saturday really sucked I better start to study and practise. I have heard that over in China if you want to use a fork or knife you better take your own, because all that they supply are chopsticks!!

When we went out for supper last Saturday in Saskatoon we ate at Saskatoon Asian. It was very good and I would go back in a minute. So there was about 12 of us eating and at one point I looked around the table and I was the only one eating with a fork, everyone else was using chopsticks. So we had a little laugh and then Cory made me this contraption.






I will admitt it WORKED. Later that night in our hotel room we ordered BP's and I even used the chopsticks to eat my cactus cut potatoes!!! I wonder if I would get some looks if I used these in China....hmmm. Heck Channing will be better using them than me!!










And of course here is Cory.....I will also say that these pictures were taken after a "few" drinks!!

Ah, I will be the same way. Me no likey to eat with chopsticks. Great idea of taking my own fork. I'll have to do that one. My husband, on the other hand, loves to eat with them.

Thanks for the directions, I hope they help me. We got some chopsticks at the Dollarama (they are awesome) and my husband served rice in little bowls with chopsticks one night...so cute, and I was hopeless!

Although I did find some really cool precious moments chopsticks last weekend in Vancouver!!

I didn't buy them though! I just couldn't cough up 10 bucks for a pair of chopsticks!!!

Hey Kim there will be more Boston pizza nights to come and with that you should practice, practice and practice. But if that dose not work, cheat with your cheater chopsticks easily made any where! Don’t forget your elastics. Heee

Just found your blog today. It's very cute. It looks like you're a member of the July DTC group, so is my sister. Celebrate the milestones as you wait. It makes it easier.

You guys are just toooo cute!! Shawn is bringing plastic forks but I have been eating with chopsticks for the past 20 years (I refused to eat with anything else from age 15-20, crazy I know!!). You have to eat sushi with chopsticks, there's just no other way to do it!!!!
