Re: Surgery with Gunson

I've been taking it pretty easy. I've gone to the beach a couple times.

[Marisama]

My favorites so far:

Lasagna
Chicken Noodle Soup from Lazy Acres
Chicken Burritos with ranch and guacamole
Cream of Corn Soup
Turkey Chili
Beef and Been Burritos
Spaghetti
Fruit Smoothies
Banana Peanut Butter and Chocolate Protein with Milk
Cream of Wheat
Blackberry Milkshakes

Biggest fails so far:

Orange Chinese Chicken.  It turned to paste and was awful.
Shepards Pie
Potatoe Salad

you can chew burritos now? are you on soft-chew now?

[Marisama]

Yeah, aren't you?

No, those are all blended.

[treevernal]

Are you using a blender or food processor?

[CK]

Yeah, aren't you?

No, those are all blended.

oh yeah for quite awhile. im surprised you can tolerate blended burritos/lasagna. i tried blending simple pasta and coudnt tolerate it.

guess you palate is more developed than mine. are you teeth sensitive at all? obviously you cant bite but when the foot hits your teeth/gums?

I bought a Vita Mix blender. I highly recommend one. It turns a burrito to liquid in seconds. Got it at Costco.

Teeth aren't sensitive. I don't understand your other question.

I'd love one but aren't they about $500 even wholesale?

[Marisama]

$379 on Amazon

[treevernal]

Hmm, worth looking into.  I like how easily it can blend whole foods; I hope to be having fully balanced/blended meals like you are.

[treevernal]

Are most decent blenders capable of liquefying foods like burritos and such?  I just went to consumer reports and while vitamix was rated #1, ninja was #2 and rated a "best buy" at under $100.00.  Hmm, decisions decisions.

[Marisama]

Not sure pal. I just like how the Vita Mix comes with a stick that you can use to push food down to the blades while it's running.

[treevernal]

That is cool and useful.

[Marisama]

No, no, and yes.
