Yogurt Hand-Hell

For breakfast in Hand-Hell, we serve yogurt

Yogurt for breakfast? My favorite, particularly the real full-fat stuff. Ellenos Greek style is my personal favorite, it is not low-calorie or low-fat and it is delicious. Yogurt requires a spoon to eat, or a smoothie must be made (think buttons on blender). So, a spoon it is, every morning.

It usually goes without incident. I manage to take off the outer plastic cap, the foil lid (lick it clean) and then I manage to stir the yogurt. My favorite spoon doesn't reach the bottom easily, so I eat about 1/3 and stir again.

I manage, but it is significantly more difficult to eat without fingertips. On the upside, this has probably contributed to my recent weight loss, which has been intentional and the result of reducing calories and increasing exercise. Les weight to lug around is helpful for my joints and for the sores on my feet, which are not as bad as the ones on my hands.

Does anybody out there have strategies for managing to eat when your hand problems flare up? I'd love to hear them.
