Learn to eat in the continental style.

I’ve eaten a couple of meals left-handed recently, but it’s still totally awkward. I’m trying.

A friend of mine ran off to live in Italy for a while and upon returning said “You could always tell the Americans by how they ate.” What she was getting at was that Europeans always seem to use both hands all the time, left (?) on the knife and right on the fork, cutting up bits of food with both, moving the bits to the fork with the knife, and leaving the plate clean at the end.

I want to learn to do that, but I’m so totally not ambidextrous. This will take practice.
