easily chewed food [was: ThreeLac]

Hi --

Jan had a lot of good advice. Listen to her. Here's my contribution.

Two words: Bone Soup.

I cannot praise bone soup enough. I eat it almost every day. It's cheap

to make, it's got plenty of good fats & protein, it's easy to go down and

easy to digest, and you can put anything you want into it. (And needless

to say, there's very little chewing involved.) Spinach, broccoli, celery

and garlic are all good in there (cooking will make them very soft and easy

to chew - strip the bigger fibers out of the celery before cooking, and cut

the pieces small). You can even throw some ingredients in just for flavor

or nutrients (like onions and other good veggies that might be hard to

chew) - then remove them before eating, you'll still get the nutrients in

the water.

You want to get fatty beef bones with a lot of suet. The longer you cook

it, the softer the suet gets, and the more fats and calcium, etc get into

the water. This stuff is GREAT for you. After the suet gets soft enough,

you can suck a lot of it right off the bone (let it cool a little

first). And the marrow - eat that too - it's delicious, very very soft and

FULL of nutrients. One more optiion: just before serving, get the soup

real hot and drop a raw Omega-3 egg into it.
