Bursitis has completely stopped me from using my left arm. I was trying to think about what could be cooked with just one arm.

This is where pantry clean out met up with my upcoming Sunday edition Heathcliff edit. I can cook spam with just one arm.

The only scratch made element in this is some mustard seed caviar I made a while back. I put some of it in the spice blender to cream it up a little. It went excellent with this otherwise depression causing meal.

Cost per person: $4

It is very expensive to cook from completely prepackaged foods.

      I befriended an older lady in a wheelchair when I was young, she was paralyzed on one side. She used a scissor to cut a lot of things, even chicken meat, which I found funny at the time.

      It might not be an obvious one, so it might be a useful tip.

      I think mine has stainless in it, because it’s cheap. If you have brass on hand, why not? I think it’ll be strong enough, I’d just wonder about corrosion at the point where it meets the board

        I’d have to buy the neils either way. Brass is food safe and more antimicrobial than stainless. And would look better with the wood I would use instead of plastic. Wood is also naturally antimicrobial. A small amount of Titebond III and the join would be water proof.

          I knew you’d know if it’s suitable, haha.

          The one thing I hate about the one I have is that it’s made of plastic. You’ll have to share pics when you have made yours!

            I can’t afford the nails right now but I could take one of my existing unsold boards, build the wals out of scrap and have the whole thing done in under 12 hours if I could.

              Are brass nails expensive? If you were to drop a Monero wallet address in this thread, I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually gain the ability to buy a few 🙂

                Probably not expensive though tracking down the right kind can be a little tricky. More importantly, there is a group rule about no self-promotion.

                  Ah, good call. I didn’t think about that being self-promotion, but I suppose I can understand it.

                  Good luck! 🙂
