I just did something picky and Martha-Stewart-like in my freezer. Having plenty of Thanksgiving leftovers I decided to try and put up a few frozen portions for myself for other meals. I blended some turkey and gravy really fine and divided it 4 ways, put it on a dessert plate and stuck it in the freezer, uncovered.
I just took this out, frozen solid. It looked like 4 "plops" of cookie dough. I dug them off the plate and put them in a zip-lock bag. Then I got out Amanda's sweet potato casserole and made 4 more "plops" and up in the freezer they went.
The Martha Stewart part is where I stuck them in a zip lock bag. So picky. And the casserole ones will go in their own zip-lock bag when they are frozen.
I think tomorrow I will make more "plops" and store them away,lol

OK this is because I am learning a new way to eat. My portions will always be small and while they will not always be blended, whatever the texture I will have to chew and chew before I swallow what I am eating. I am very proud that I was able to eat a couple of tablespoons of turkey and casserole, and even a small amount of jelled cranberry sauce.
I can't drink 1/2 hour before a solid meal, or 1/2 after I have eaten. This is so the little stomach will stay fuller longer and I won't be hungry as quick.
I often wondered about the nursing home residents who had pureed food to eat on their trays:
brown plop, white plop, green plop = meat, mashed potatoes and peas
I have a little more respect for their plight now
