    MoIy I want to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos. I’m 75 years old. I’m losing my eyesight due to retinal atrophy. I am legally blind now. But will be totally blind within the next six months. So I’m trying to adjust my life so that I get a better understanding of what it is like to function. You’ve helped me realize that it doesn’t end my life. Thank you so much for being there for me.

    I was thinking a solution for the changing menu and not having a braille menu would be a tactile sticker on the table where they can scan a QR code to a mobile friendly menu that you can read with talk to text. And they can update the mobile one as needed.

    Hey Molly! I just wanted to comment that I have an invisible disability that affects my life in many ways, and you have helped me SO MUCH. You've helped me come to terms with a reality I've been living with since I was 12 (I'm 20 now), and you've given me the confidence to be able to ask for the help that I need. A month ago, for the first time in my life, I requested a mobility aid because you gave me the confidence to advocate for myself and my disability. I got more dirty looks and whispers than I can count (people HATE seeing a seemingly "healthy" 20 year old woman using an aid), but I kept hearing your voice in my head telling me that it was okay, and I deserved to use the tools to help me, just like any other disabled person. All this is to say that the work you do touches so many lives, and I honestly don't think I would be at this point of acceptance in my journey if it weren't for you. I can never thank you enough, Molly, you've truly changed my life for the better 💜

      It may not feel like it, but you are now doing the same for others! You are helping normalise the use of mobility aids by people who "look like they don't need it!" You're helping break the stereotype and you should be incredibly proud!

      Hi :-) I swear this is not any sort of weird ad comment or scam, or anything like that. Just saw your comment and so that you also are like me and have chronic illnesses and things. I would highly recommend checking out the comment I just looked above Because I think everyone should check out the thing I recommended, especially if they are chronically ill and even also blind and chronically ill. Honestly everybody no matter what disability or even if they don't have a disability lol.

    Christine was one of my favorite Master Chef contestants of all time, and I was SO happy when she won. She seemed so kind even then, and seeing all of her food made me so jealous that I wasn't able to reach through the screen and have a bite. I'm dying to visit one of her restaurants some day. So glad you got to visit her and we got to hear from her! ❤

    This episode so far has been my favorite!!! I am so excited for the next one! With having RP, the thought of the possibility of not being able to cook for my family scares me but I am determined not to let it stop me and I’m going to keep doing it! I remember when I was newly diagnosed, my step dad would tell me “When the time comes and you can’t see to cook, I will gladly move in and help”. Bless his heart! While I love that he cares for me…in a nice way “I’m not letting that happen. Haha”. I may only see my hands and not the knife when in chopping….if I got the will then I’ll make a way. Thank you so much for this Molly. It made me tear up in a good way and it’s so encouraging. ♥️ -Andi

    I didn't know Christine Ha was already an adult when she started learning how to cook. Just goes to show any time is a good time to discover your passion!
    I also love the feeling of other people being happy with something I created. I do not cook professionally, but I do love cooking for myself and my loved ones, and it is so satisfying when I get a compliment for something I made!

    This is amazing! I've never heard of Christine. I love this series and learning about different people and how they deal with vision loss and their different vocations! I loved the part where she was describing how a pan would feel or smell for her to be able to tell if food had been cooked. It's so true that other senses get heightened when we can't see. Even when I go through my episodes of eye pain and blepharospasm with my epithelial basement membrane dystrophy eye disease, when my eye closes up and I can't open it, I am much more aware of my sense of touch, smell and hearing.

    I love this. I am registered blind (less than 1% in left and 10% right eye). As soon as i became a teen i was taught & taught myself to cook using normal cooking appliances : microwave, different types of kettles, gas & electric stoves (hob in the UK) ETC. i am in my own 1 bed bungalow now: i use mini electric appliances like a 1 cup kettle (don't have to use the beeper as the kettle does the measuring) , microwave, electric stove , mini oven (like the american toaster oven but functions as a normal smaller ver of a normal oven), oh and toaster. Mini toastie maker & compact slow cooker (crockpot) aswell. All electric so i'm not touching fire. Lol. I also rely on my remaining site as much as i can.
    I've been able to cook since i was in my early teens. Now 27. Lol. I have burnt myself many of times but i think it comes with the job as they say lol.
    I do worry about what would happen if i lost all my sight. I was born sighted but at 2 and a half i lost 90% through a condition called optic nerve atrophy and i have hydrocepulas (fluid on the brain which i have an internal shunt). Same with hearing, i was born hearing but again at 2 & a half i lost all my left side hearing and almost all on my right. I wore hearing aids uptill i was 17, i have bone anchored hearing aids now.
