When I had my wisdoms out, I pretty much survived on Nalley's canned Chicken
& Noodle Dinner, augmented with instant mashed potatoes. Not food for the
first day (actually the first day you prolly won't want anything remotely
extreme in temperature), but in a day or so you'll be ready.

(I don't wanna hear it, folks. He's gonna be in no shape to cook, and
besides, I _like_ instant potatoes! )

Do make sure you get a cleaning syringe, though, because amazing amounts of
food get stuck in the little holes that the teeth once occupied...you'll be
cleaning and saying "when did I eat an entire roast beef?"
