If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Chopstick challenge

My freshman year of college some guys I knew challenged me to eat with chopsticks for an entire month. EVERY MEAL! Now, cereal was definitely a challenge. Anyhow, I did it.

I thought it would be fun to dare Jared to eat dinner with only chopsticks for an entire month. He took me on.





It's actually really nice. We eat slower, rather than shoveling the food into our mouths and enjoy more conversation.




Day one: Feb. 25th = SUCCESS!

hmm this might be a good tactic for me. I seem to be shoveling all my food these days! I should start using the millions of chopsticks I have in my utensil drawer! Maybe I should issue this challenge!

Wasn't that Ben, Kyle, and Jorg? I was eating with chopsticks the other day thinking about eating cereal with chopsticks as well. Fun times!

Trillions of years ago they used forks and spoons in China. But then the emperor's wife gave him two sticks and dared him to eat his meals with them. He did and then he dared his subjects to do the same, everyone just laughed at him, but then he double yellow dog dared them, and now trillions of years later it continues. I don't know what you're trying to start...

It's a brilliant idea! I think I'm going to try it. Also love your idea with the daisies.

You still look hot pregnant.

I LOVE this! You are so darn funny...always making me laugh. When I worked on a fishing boat in AK, it was like being in the military and we always had to wolf down our food because meal times were so short. Many years later I am still struggling to overcome the bad habit of eating too fast. This fun chopstick idea just might be the ticket!

Actually I'm still practicing on how to master of using a chopstick because I'm not still good in picking up big slices of food and I already brought a personalized chopsticks that I use as chopstick training wheel and this is also a good chopstick challenge.
