    Uh, oh. David is going to lose all of his teeth......

    It's been over two years for me. I need reminding of good,  soft foods that he can live on for eight weeks. Any suggestions would make my life easier...... (I know about ice cream, Ben)

    Well blended soups with lots of vegetables, chicken, lentils, etc., so that he gets nutrients and vitamins as well as food that he can 'drink'. You can also make large batches and freeze several containers, so it's easier for you.

    Avocados...loaded with nutrients. Fattening, but the good kind of fat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado

    I saw a recipe for Avocado Pie today. :)

    We do a lot with a vitamix. Smoothies, soup's, you can even make ice cream with them.

    Vitamix. Sounds interesting. Are they tasty?
    JDB

    Vitamix is a blender on steroids. We generally make smoothies with it but it can make hot soup, and a few minutes later can make ice cream. There not cheap, it took awhile for the wife to talk me I to one, but they work much better than a regular blender. Regular blenders don't have the power or speed.

    The cheapest Vitamix Blender that I could find in Canada is $319.00 plus tax. Others cost $600 - $800. Man, they MUST be good!!! (My blender cost me $99.00 and I thought that was expensive.) :)

    Yup not cheap, buy I have never seen a machine that you can throw tomatoes, garlic, Basil, onion, basically whatever you want in your soup turn it on and a few minute's later have soup hot enough you have to let it cool to eat. While your letting it cool, clean the container, put in ice, cream fruit, what ever you want in ice cream and a couple minutes you have ice cream. No heating element no cooling elements. We had ours for close to thirty years, with no problems.

    I guess I should have read the write up about the machine. I didn't realize it had heating/cooling elements. It sounds amazing!
    JDB

    No it doesn't have heating, cooling element's it's blades spin so fast it creates heat or cooling.

    Perhaps Soylent. I have never tried it but it is a drink with all you need nutritionally.

    JDB

    I remember the movie Soylent Green..

    baby food. It isn't too bad if you put a little seasoning in it.............pepper or something.

    @ ROMOS... Gerber baby food is the equivalent of Cow&Gate baby food in Scotland. I know it is baby food, but the Vanilla Custard is delish.
