My daughters are adept with chop sticks.  I wasn’t!  I may have even publicly embarrassed them a time or two.  Shortly after one of those evenings in a DC restaurant Brenton sent me a gift of a dozen pairs of multi-colored chopsticks for my birthday.  I found this YouTube instructional video and taught myself the art of chopsticking!  Yippee me!  So, new talent under the belt, I find that I now often serve sushi at small home gatherings as an appetizer, and everyone has their “own” color for the evening. Nice, right?!  I must say that Liam is beginning early, albeit he is just using one “stick” and stabbing food!  This particular evening at Empire in Boston, he was so happy with his delicious dinner and chopsticks that he blurted out “Happy! I’m Happy”!  To all of my fellow novices, I suggest Practice, Practice, and Practice More…in the seclusion of your own home!
