JimK:  The reason I have not posted about food in a couple of weeks is the teefs.  My temp crowns are preventing me from eating anything firmer than roasted chicken breast.  I’ve been living primarily on a diet of instant farina, cheese, rice, chicken and steamed veg. Sometimes the rice and veg are stir-fried into some form of vaguely Asian-like flavor, which is interesting.  I also tried these Thai rice noodles (vermicelli actually, just made of rice) but they sort of stayed gummy even when overcooked, and I just didn’t like them.  But.

In the last week I have discovered...oh god I cannot even bring myself to say it...*deep breath*...I have discovered that I like veggie burgers.  They taste nothing even remotely like the meat they are supposed to replace, but...I like them.  And they are soft.

If I start wanting to drive a Prius and talking about how patchouli is a misunderstood scent, I grant permission to any and all readers of this blog to find me in person and kick the hippie right out of my ass.

Anyway, the point: Got any soft foods that aren’t rice?  Some crazy, tasty, flavorful thing my brain just hasn’t thought of?  Old secret family “Oww mah dentures be hurtin’” recipe you got from your old Nanna?  Anything?  Just don’t say Jello.  I know about Jello. 

October first cannot come fast enough.  I WANT MY METAL TEETH DAMMIT.  I am going to destroy some grill-scorched cow flesh just as soon as my metal teeth heal up or become self aware and start directing my actions or whatever it is that they do.
