Re: Recipe Ideas, soft foods and smoothies

Thanks for these great ideas, Tania. I'm copying and pasting to a

document I'm compiling for when the time comes. These sound really

good, and I loved your commentary ( " and there you go - its

Thanksgiving! " ). Luna

Luna, pretty name! Glad that you liked some of the

ideas, these meals are filling too which is good.

Pudding is the best too - my mom just sent me an

e-mail reminding me to make myself a nice Flan - or

the American word - custard. We're spanish -

Costaricans. Anyway - good luck with everything as

the time approaches! Are you having upper, lower -

are you going to be banded? Tania
