Mashed potatos & sweet potatoes, of course. Actually there are many
good vegetable purees,like parsnip & rutabaga.

Creamed spinach or corn (homemade of course )

Spoon bread?

I suppose you could cook your macaroni & cheese very mushy?

Happy "gumming",

Lynn, any of the typical Hungarian/Slovak sides done as
fozolek would work. But, from the South, may I suggest
butter beans? // I make German mashed potatoes, i.e.
boiled potato chunks, tossed in a wok/pot with bacon
drippings, and then with addition of butter and vinegar.
They will disintegrate into mashed potatoes, but not
like we're used to.

Make sure you get the potato toasties off the side of the
pan, as there is so much flavor there. Use lots of parsley,
and don't stint on garlic.

My first thought was squash, but it seems like practically everything
will be ok if it's cooked - even carrots! Items that are too much
work to eat with no teeth can certainly be pureed. This is a great
excuse to make applesauce too.

Mac & Cheese,

all sorts of eggs
oatmeal etc
pork and saur Kraut casseroles
noodles
soups
investigate crock pot meals
hamburger patties and mashed spuds

If all else fails put cooked chicken in a food processor and make chicken pate.

Congratulations! Really, fish should never need real chewing unless we
speak of broiled swordfish steaks or the like.
Most veg are gummable if over cooked, but eggplant is one of the few that
actually needs to be cooked that long. Dredge slices of it in flour,
eggwash and seasoned flour, then saute in good olive oil until browned and
soft. Doesn't need another thing, but some would grate a bit of hard cheese
over the top.
Hummous, dried fava puree, anything puree in fact, softly fried onions, all
sound good to me... and then there is stuffing. Stuffing is consolation for
a lot in life.

After sending my previous reply in this thread, I got to thinking about
avocados. They're soft enough to eat without even being mashed, so they're
fair game for the dentally deprived. My first thought was that you could
make a kind of hors d'ouevre with a round of boiled potato topped with a
piece of avocado. The potato could be seasoned with Old Bay, curry, or some
similar spice mixture, or it could be just left alone, or maybe drizzled
with a touch of top-quality olive oil.

Then I started thinking about avocado mousse. Specifically, I wondered if
there *was* such a thing. Googling found both sweet and savory versions, but
the sweet ones seemed kind of unappealing to me. A recipe for crab cakes
with avocado mousse seemed like a pretty good concept, but maybe not soft
enough.

But what about chawanmushi? Chawanmushi is the Japanese version of a quiche.
Where quiches are formed by baking a mixture of eggs and dairy (milk and/or
cream, and usually cheese as well), chawanmushi uses a mixture of eggs and
broth. Chawanmushi are steamed rather than baked, and are softer and more
delicate than quiches.

So maybe a chawanmushi with dashi and salmon, topped with avocado mousse?
The topping could optionally be hit with a flame, to give the topping a kind
of meringue quality.

I also wanted to get cream cheese and avocado together somehow, so I started
considering the idea of a savory avocado cheesecake. Turned out that recipes
exist online for that, too, and it's more than possible that at least one of
them would be suitable for a no-teeth appetizer (or party dish).

Steamed carrots
Steamed potatoes
Steamed cabbage
Avocados
Steamed yams/sweet potatoes
Well cooked onions
Steamed Tarot

To name a few. :-)

Any well cooked soft veggie should be ok.

Good choice and a decent method! Been a bit away from here lately so I'll
have to guess you are pending full dentures and looking for foods that work
for now until it's healed enough?

> PS: Suggestions for (no-teeth) side dishes esp. veggies?

Yes but I have to guess at what will appeal to you. Some isn't optimal made
this way but for now, will work well enough. I mean, ya gotta eat!

Cream of corn will work and can be spiffied up with fine chopped clam meats
(mince small).
Canned baby peas with butter and finely minced onions, can make a white
sauce with them if desired.
Squash (yellow works best) simmered to soft with minced onion bits
Canned asparagus tips (soft and lucious)
sticky rice (regular american long grain may be a slight problem)
Mashed potatoes with gravy are obvious
Baked sweet potato or white (I use a crockpot and steam these all the time,
wash but dont dry and add 3 TB water or so and set on low).
Butter beans (large dry limas) made with smoked ham hock (mince ham hock
bits to what you can handle)- crockpot favorite
Carrots simmered with butter then put in blender with heavy non-sweet cream
to make a soup

That help?

The problem is that orange roughy don't reproduce for many years,
so they don't have time to recover from overfishing much longer. We
won't have to worry about them being endangered much longer, I
guess you can look at it that way.

Heh... I was listening to an old comedy routine from Bill Cosby yesterday.
He was talking about the fact that guys pay money to watch women take their

Sound like smoothie time. I've had friends who had jaw surgery that
required wiring the jaw in place. Smoothies were the answer to a
maiden's prayer. SWMBO loves the ones with a ripe banana base
(She keeps the 'nanners in the freezer), with berries for extra
flavor.

It is aubergine "caviar", one of the many Russian vegetable "caviars".
It is perhaps the most popular one, alongside the vegetable-marrow
caviar. Here is my recipe, from the rfc cook.book, p. 7.

Poor Man's Caviar (Aubergine Caviar)

2 medium aubergines (eggplants)
2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon (optionally) each of parsley, chervil and tarragon, minced
5-6 tablespoons olive oil
a bit of red wine vinegar or lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the aubergines for about 35
minutes or longer until they are soft and their skin is charred. To
peel, plunge them into cold water and the skin will come off easily.
Alternatively, remove the flesh with a teaspoon. Discard the seeds.
Put into the food processor one after another: garlic, then onions, then
tomatoes and then aubergines, chopping them to a not quite purée-like
consistency and putting in the next component after chopping the
previous one. The 'caviar' should be a tiny bit chunky, not too smooth.
(The classic method is to chop everything by hand, of course). Remove
everything from the food processor to a mixing bowl and add 4
tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and, optionally, the
minced herbs. Mix together thoroughly. Heat the remaining olive oil in
the skillet over moderate heat and pour in the aubergine mixture. Bring
to the boil, stirring constantly, then turn the heat to low and simmer
until the excessive moisture in the pan has evaporated. If necessary,
add more salt, pepper and vinegar (or lemon juice). Transfer the
'caviar' to a bowl and chill until ready to serve. Serve with crusty
bread.

1 lb dried split peas

1 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed dried marjoram
1/4 tsp dried rubbed thyme

This was satisfactory, and loaded with protein,

I don't see how this would taste anything like caviar!
I'd just use minced black olives...

I'm 62 years old and other than my wisdom teeth I'm missing only
two more, both on the top, on the same side. But the rest of my teeth
could go at any time. I have too many teeth to be an expert on
toothlessness. Still I wonder if there's a point where too many could
get in the way. For instance, let's say you're missing all your
uppers, but all the lowers are still there. Those lower ones could
get in the way. Your upper gums would not be happy. I really believe
I could still eat well without teeth. I've been thinking about it
this lately, it's no big deal, no more a big deal than it was when you
were a child without teeth - toss out everything unchewable and put
your gums to work on the rest.

In the same way that nearly blind people put on sunglasses and a
cane to prepare for the future, so too should we who are nearly
toothless for ours.

I have a Rider Waite deck that's 40 years old. That's what I use most
often. My daughter and her best-freind-almost-my other-daughter gave
me the "Sacred Circle" tarot (Llewellyn) and my sister gave me a deck
of cards called "The Goddess Oracle" (ELEMENT - a division of Harper
Collins). I really like those - 52 goddesses from many cultures with
attributes. Very free-form for reading - make up your own spread. I
want a Robin Wood deck. (google) just for the amazing art!
