Introducing "the tools of the trade"

I thought I would show you my "tools that help me to eat". On the left is my small food processor. Anything put in here comes out like baby food if I hold the button down long enough. This is what I used for eating Thanksgiving turkey last Friday along with gravy, sweet potato casserole and a teensy bit of cranberry sauce. Yesterday I had a can of cream of mushroom soup so I emptied the condensed canfull into the blender, pureed, then put it into a pan with the water like usual.

(I have a Slap Chop as well, but won't be using that for a while because it just chops things).

On the right there's my shake-blender and it is God-sent for making nice fluffy protein shakes and it has had good use for the past month or so. Instead of  having 3 shakes a day I now have two, with the added food giving me the protein I have to have.

Today I did a no-no, and yesterday I did also but nothing happened so I guess it was alright. We have a beautiful veggie plate with broccoli, carrots and celery and the sweetest grape tomatoes I ever tried. I didn't eat the skins, I spit those out, just swallowing the juice and it tasted so good after not having any veg. for a couple of weeks :)

Tomorrow I go see the Doctor. I have a few stitches to come out and I want to see what else he does and ask him about my hiatal hernia that they found. Also tomorrow's breakfast will be Cream of Wheat and I am sooo looking forward to a hot breakfast after cold shakes and yoghurt. I will add my vitamin powder, Bene-fibre and an Equal as well as some skim milk.

My appointment is at 11:30am, and I am glad my daughter is driving me up there. I hate driving at all, much less going out of town because I tend to get lost and end up scared to death in Providence.
