Has anyone ever brought their own spoon (or bib) to a restaurant?
I love Olive Garden's soup, but their spoons are just too small. I think I'm going to bring my own spoon the next time I go. I don't think it will be a big deal or anything, but I'm curious about others who might do this.
Also, is there a "bib" that a 40 year-old man could wear in a restaurant without making him feel any more self-conscious than he already does? A name or a link would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I used to be self-conscious about people examining what or how I was eating. My mum pointed out that people are far more interested in their own food and conversation! And you know, she was right.
So I doubt anyone, waitstaff or fellow patron, would even notice that you were using your own cutlery unless it had pink polka dot handles or something similarly outlandish.
Perhaps using a large serviette/napkin instead of a bib would make you feel more comfortable? Tucked into your shirt it would function much the same as a bib.
Enjoy your soup!
PS: I had a mild-moderate tremor from meds and was pleasantly surprised to find that an individual Pilates program prescribed by my physiotherapist significantly improved things. I was expecting my knee problem to get better but hadn't even considered the tremor! I think it was more than just greater muscle control, that it trained my brain as well. I wonder if there are any hand exercises that might help you? Forum member Christ Empowered has also had some success with supplements. I think Vitamin E was one of them.
