Bread cutting failure

A standard evening meal for me is sliced bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The last grocery trip did not have sliced loaves so I bought an unsliced loaf and planned on cutting it myself. An unmitigated disaster. The left hand does not have the ability to open up enough to grab the loaf and stabilize it for cutting, the wrist spasticity screams, 'You're going to stay bent no matter what'. The cutting board slides all over the place and just trying to push a knife through a loaf of bread with no sawing motions doesn't work.


The result - more torn than cut

  1. Nothing wrong with torn bread, especially when dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

  2. Torn bread with oil and balsamic is the best way to eat it.

    1. How true, but tearing bread with one hand and my hip against the counter leaves a bit to be desired.

  3. Ditto - oil and balsamic and, on Friday evening, a good Italian red wine... in my opinion!
