 The stand mixer suggestion is a good one.  Another technique I have
used to mix many things is to put all the ingredients in a ziploc
plastic bag, and then knead the ingredients.

Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Mixing suggestions

I have a student who is having a difficult time mixing ingredients for
cakes, cookies and the like.  he has some physical difficulties with the
stirring motion, and also has an physical aversion to certain textures
one being creamed stuff, so no checking progress with hands, not pretty
so I have been warned.  Are there any adapted techniques or suggestions
I can give him for making the mixing job more well tolerable and
successful.  He loves measuring, loves slicing things, but hates mixing.

I have already distributed grip mat to him to keep the bowl in place,
but are there other ideas or techniques you all have used that have
worked in the past?

I know that the main aversions are to a Kit kat type of texture, shaving
cream, and other slimy things.  He physically gags when he encounters
these textures.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought
of their act as violence;  rather they thought of it as an act of
divinely mandated righteousness.
 The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
