I'm so lucky in that I don't have wisdom teeth! No, seriously, not everyone
has them and I don't. So, when my brother Scott had all his teeth yanked
out and replaced by implants he needed soft food for a YEAR because that's
how long the process took.

He ate a lot of soup, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, soft boiled and
scrambled eggs. Spaghetti with tomato sauce but no meat. Biscuits soaked
in gravy, but no meat. More soup, crackers soaked until soggy. You''re
getting the picture, right? It's like feeding a baby. A 50 year old baby.

When he finally got his implanted teeth (LOL) he was so happy to bite into a
nice rare steak. And I'm not sure he'll ever eat a baked potato again.
