Dips to try

[Guest guest]

Cammie:

I'm with you. At this point, I'm fine with food to swallow without

chewing. Yesterday, I ordered Chinese. For the heck of it, ground it

in the blender. The result? It looked like pate and tasted so good

that my mom ate it.

A lot of it is perspective. In fairness, some foods look regurgitated

when blended. Others though look like dips, pate, etc. Looking at

ground, ground beef made me want to puke. Looking at the ground

chicken and lo mein looked like a nachos dip.

Some tips -- have someone else blend it for you. If you're not

looking at the raw thing, it's easier to just look at the finished

product.

Other foods -- dips, pates, chicken/tuna salads, eggs, etc. are good

as they are.

So just imagine your spoon as a nacho and scoop away. Heck, double

dip (Seinfeld reference for the real young 'uns in the crowd). You've

earned it.

Good luck!
