Not the piano tune either.....

I ran across a post about using baby silverware or chopsticks to help get the proper speed and bite size for bandsters. So I decided to try it out. This morning's breakfast consists of 2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup of spinach and 1 Tyson reduced fat sausage patty. I cut the spinach and sausage to the proper size, dumped that and the eggs into a microwavable container, and when I got to work this morning microwaved it for a couple of minutes. I am now sitting at my desk with the chopsticks I bought off of Amazon, eating breakfast, and it is working well. The chopsticks slow me down and force me to take small bites and I don't feel nearly as silly as I would with a baby fork or spoon. That and the sticks are much easier to clean.

Very nice that you can use chop sticks. I do eat, at home, with a salad fork instead of the dinner size. I still eat fast. Bad ME.

I have been practicing with both. I like the chop stix for some things and the baby spoon for others. Your breakfast sounded delicious by the way. :)

I give you credit because I cannot use chopsticks. I suck at it. I tried it once at a Thai restaurant and my shrimp ended up flying across the table and landing in my date's lap. :P

I've used my grandkid's babyspoon for yogurt , it really slows me down and I could savor the taste longer.

For yogurt (and such) I simply dip my normal spoon in and then lick it off. I find that takes quite a while
