New Thing 194, New Thing Every Day: Eat for a Day Without Utensils

One of my wiseacre friends suggested this back when I was creating the original list of New Things to do and I was not sure it would actually happen, but here it is! The fact is that it has actually been kind of interesting.

Here are a few thoughts from a day of eating without utensils.

1. It really made me think about what I would be eating.
2. There was something I had been looking forward to having for lunch that I ad to put off to another day, just because it would have been too messy (portabello mushrooms in curry sauce).
3. More than once, I started to eat something with a fork and stopped myself before I blew it.
4. Leigh reminded me that a straw would count as a utensil, just in time, and I had to drink smoothies without one.
