RedHillian: A journal

In an effort to share the love, and express thanks to reallyfrank, I have here the method by which I am currently eating.

Smoothies, which may in fact be 'Moothies' as they have vastly more milk than fruit in them.

The illustrious reallyfrank suggested that I put oats into them, as this constitutes real nutrition, with protein and stuff. And it's got texture as well - and for a person who can't open their mouth more than their index finger, that's a valuable thing. It's great, and I love it.

My current favourite combination is:

1 x medium-large banana, a bit soft
1 x big spoon peanut butter (smooth)
1 x big spoon golden syrup
1 x 50ml scoop rolled/porridge/steel-cut(?) oats
some drinking chocolate powder
some milk

Blend all the above until smooth. Drink. It'l need stirring if you let it stand, and the oats will weld themselves to the glass if you don't wash it up.

It is very tasty.

I'm also surviving on Actimel, to avoid 'intestinal distress' from the antibiotics (thanks to Jules, nurse in the Personality Cult for the hint), and a combination of Paracetamol, Dihydrocodeine and Augmentin with plenty of water, salty mouthwashes and some Chow Mien last night (noodles can be eaten is soft enough evidently, prawn crackers are not nice when sucked and fortune cookie is impossible)

I am hoping that come Friday I can open my mouth a bit, as I have work all day and a gig all evening, and there needs to be eating somewhere along that path - and the traditional KFC that comes with this gig is not particularly amenable to this lifestyle...

A new meme of sorts has appeared, when the childfree community gets trolled (which happens about once a week), the troll gets recipes overwhelming their inbox rather than hatred or giant pictures of tubgirl.

This prompted a sizable group of members to discuss the possibilities of recipe sharing, but without the "I need something for my picky-eater children" comments that apparently a lot of other recipe communities have, so they've created childfreefoods, a place which the community profile states is not just for the childfree, but is open to all as long as the principle of the thing is respected.

So far it's looking good and there's a nice selection of recipes going up, I just bneed to find some good ones of my own to add.

If anyone's interested in looking in - there's the links.
