CAMMIE Re: Shirley - Eating

Good to know. I did go shopping yesterday, but completely forgot to

look for Boost/Ensure. Oh well. The splint comes off tomorrow and

eating should get a lot easier.

After eating nothing but two protein-powder smoothees yesterday, at

about 4 p.m. I took myself out to Cracker Barrel for some real food. I

had chicken-fried chicken, hashbrown casserole, mac and cheese, lemon

pie. Oh man was it good. I was a little self-conscious eating by

myself with my splinted metal mouth -- it takes forever to eat -- but

no one seemed to notice or care and the waitress was really nice.

Then, I made the yummiest thing last night: I steamed some zuchinni in

the microwave and blended it up with butter and salt. Mmmmmm. I think

I'm craving vegetables because I haven't eaten them much during the

last few weeks.

I gotta put in another plug for the Braun handblender. I love mine so

much! I mounted it on the wall above my knives and find I'm using it

two or three times a day. I think I will continue to use it even when

I no longer need soft food. It's so much quicker than the food

processor and there's only one part to wash.
