This site has excellent directions for using chopsticks and has chopstick etiquette, which is fairly complex.
Now, if only I can get all my fingers to work in tandem, I’m in business. For some reason, my hands get instantly stupid when I pick up chopsticks. Alexis tells me to “hold the top stick like you hold a pen.” The problem is that I don’t hold my pen like most people hold theirs, so that advice isn’t helpful.
It’s just going to take time. That’s good, though, because eating with chopsticks is part of my weight-loss strategy! Eating with sticks slows me down.
