Look, "Rookie Chopsitcks" for special people like me! Everyone who has seen me struggle to use chopsticks will understand. Is my chopstick clumsiness due to the fact that I'm left handed or is it caused by something more sinister? (pardon the pun)
When we go to my fave "Asian" place, the staff makes these little contraptions with the wood chopsticks. They link them together at the top with a rubber band, then roll up the paper wrapper and squish it between. Basically, they are spring loaded just for children and me.
