I don’t mean donuts covered in powdered sugar…I mean taking an old fashioned donut and reducing it to a powder… In theory, it tasted good…but in actuality, it was pretty horrible. I had to add milk because powder doesn’t go anywhere without lube…but it just wasn’t the same. I guess what I like most about donuts is the texture and the feeling I get when I chew it. 
 
I sure miss chewing. 
 
Last night I picked Court up from the Oakland airport and we went to Chinese food in Belmont. The owner went above and beyond to accommodate my inability to chew. I had brought my little head sensitive baby spoon, and honestly, was prepared to eat or drink what I could, then take the rest home to Mr. Bullet the Blender. So when she came over to the table to work with me on my meal, I was overwhelmed. What a wonderful gesture. She recommended a tofu dish and I wanted spicy so she found something that worked and mmmm mmmm was that good! I used the big spoon that came with the dish to smoosh the tofu into paste, then added extra sauce and enjoyed the yum. I also got a glass of plum wine. I was almost normal! Plus, my spoon could tell me when my food was cool enough to eat and my tea was cool enough to drink. 
 
I love my baby spoons. Although when my soup was ready to drink…I eventually switched to the super cool Chinese soup food because 2 drops per bite was NOT doing it for me. 
 
I wonder how long I am going to be in pain. I’ll bet my mom has wondered the same thing about me…except it was phrased a little closer to “I wonder how long she is going to be a pain.” 
 
Some things never change.
