Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Yay for swimming! Think about me--it'll be a while before I'm back up to my usual mile, but I'll let y'all know when I get there.

Yay for swimming! My pool is closed. Woe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! Fruit! I had some queso and whatnot in the airport with my mother, so I'm not actually hungry, but I have a taste for something sweet, and don't usually have anything sweet around, but I totally have apples!

I had the most ridiculous day today -- flew to New York and back, basically for a 30 minute meeting. I wish I had been able to get some more meetings scheduled, but couldn't. Eh.

I'll cheer you on virtually.

Having sampled Grace's food, I imagine you could create some tasty purees getting creative (hers were things like basically TG dinner all-in-one and sorta bland but with a top note of the dominant flavor, and of course necessarily calorie packed, which I'm guessing is less of a goal for you.) Sorta curious what you'll be making.

My sister told me that she made a lot of chili that she then blended into a puree when she had her surgery, which sounds like an excellent idea to me! I bought a pouch which only needs water and tomato paste added to it which I'm going to try out.

I'd think anything with a strong main flavor (chilis, curries, garlics) would be good. When the texture is minimal, seems like a kick is called for.

Kathy, do they have Bear Creek chili packets for sale near you? That stuff is great, especially if you dissolve a little brown sugar in the water before adding the tomato paste and chili mix.

I think what I bought was Bear Creek. Brown sugar, hmm? I'll definitely try that out!

I don't know if this meets your needs, but I've been fond of Desert Garden's dry soup mixes [link] for the occasional fix where I don't wanna actually cook all evening. Potato ones are nummy.

Oooh, cheaper at [link]
