Pureed barbecue chicken, but wait there's more...

I have come to the conclusion as Hubby has that in order to get through this next week we must pretend that he is an astronaut, huh?
I hear you all say; well I suppose I cannot really hear you say that.
Go with me here, since until he receives those new pearly whites his and my diet will and has been consisting of pureed foods of the unexpected…
Do any of you remember what the astronauts ate?
Oh, you do?
Good for you!
Well, for all those who don’t have that perfect recall allow me to remind them, tube food was what they, the astronauts used to eat… and to be honest I have no idea what they eat now, but give me a few minutes… think of something while I search, oh okay, here it is…just copy and paste the below site…

Or…go to this one and copy and paste it, your choice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_food

I see that their menus have improved, but believe me when years ago they ate out of tubes you had to squeeze to get the food out of; imagine that!

The reason I brought this up is that since Hubby is sadly on hold with waiting on his new smile arriving after he again jumps through the hoops of the process… it was either calling his bizarre diet ‘baby food’ or a more manly adult name of ‘ASTRONAUT FOOD!’ LOL! Mine too! Who knows this could be the diet I have been waiting for…

Any-way, you slice it its no fun for me or him…it’s a holiday weekend and we are both house bound! Can’t even use our own barbecue to make those traditional Memorial Day foods… hamburgers or hot dogs etc and he draws the line at those being pureed,ha…you know what I mean, darn!
Although, to be truthful Hubby in all his toothless glory was courageous enough to venture out… to pick up some more grocery supplies…

So far I did puree that barbecue chicken, homemade soups of tomato (last night) and vegetable soup consisting of cauliflower spinach, mushrooms, potato, and broth and a few other secret ingredients (his first night)…tonight’s menu consisted of black bean soup with chorizo sausage (just one small one) and onions and garlic, I did put mine over a bit of brown rice and we had apple sauce for dessert, not in the soup, but I bet you knew that.

We also both enjoy Greek yogurt, Oikos, yes, the one that John Stamos advertises, that cutey. Hubby’s with honey, a natural anti-biotic and mine with blueberries or strawberries they have seeds not good for Hubby at this time, and those are for our in between snacks, ya gotta have em , ya know? Sure you do.
And of course the very soft milky scrambled egg, Carnation Instant Breakfast, and oatmeal too…boy what a variety hmm?
Maintaining a healthy diet is a challenge right now… but he doesn’t know about my plan to puree that salmon that’s in the freezer tomorrow night that I will be adding in some cream cheese, ya know it just kinda goes together, hmm? Probably a side dish of that left over bean soup, who knows … where this may all lead, nah, yuck!… but if it does lead to a new trend, that all of you would like to copy, go right ahead, hmm?

Any-who, any other concepts for our sort of gourmet healthy diet, would be welcomed, but keep in mind Hubby will be gumming the food products so now no lumps or bumps or sharp thingies can be involved in the recipe please!

On that silly note of not much note, thank heavens this inconvenience is only a temporary glitch/ blip in time… and a bit of fun to try to contend with and so allow me to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
