Before I get to the Liquid Diet part, last night’s dinner was good. It was back to our “norm” food. Michael blackened salmon:
I steamed a bunch of broccoli. I’ve been craving veggies with all the eating out lately.
It was nice eating food I’m used to again. We had part of a tomato left over and Michael sliced it up and sprinkled some salt on it. I topped the broccoli with Goddess Dressing.
Michael felt like the salmon was overdone and had too much blackening on it but I thought everything tasted pretty good. I usually don’t like tomatoes except on BLTs or burgers (or in ketchup form) but adding the salt to the slices made a huge difference.
My evening was spent reading a new library book:
And working on a project I will soon reveal. I had another sliver of fudge and a glass of milk for dessert.
Fast forward to Tuesday morning. My tooth has been bothering me for over a month now. I was able to get in to see the dentist and he told me I has to have a root canal. Of course I hadn’t eaten lunch BEFORE the dentist, so I was starving by the time I got out of there. I see a lot of soup in my future.
I got home from the dentist/pharmacy and made soup for lunch. I thought I had a creamy can of soup in the pantry but Mrs. Grass’s Soup was all I found. That’s okay because I happen to love Mrs. Grass’s soup.
Nothing like eating soup in the middle of summer!
QUESTION: Any food suggestions for me while I heal from my root canal?

Are you reading the Charlaine Harris books from the beginning? If not, you definitely should 🙂

Yes, I’ve been reading the books from the beginning when they first came out. Wish the tv show was better….

I love True Blood. I haven’t finished the books, but I love the show. Season 3 is the best so far.

And by beginning, I mean of the series.

Yes! I actually read I think Book #2 or #3 first, liked it a lot and went back and started the series from the beginning.

The blackened salmon looks great! I’ve been craving green veggies too and actually bought broccoli from Costco today! Talk about a lot of broccoli…
Slurpees and green monsters for the root canal. Hopefully you will feel fine regardless.

Ouch, I feel for you… I had a root canal at the beginning of this year. Mine actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but still not a lot of fun.
After the first day I did okay just chewing on the other side of my mouth and avoiding foods that require hard chewing, like steak or raw carrots. But things like salmon, well-cooked sweet potatoes, etc. were fine. Definitely stock up on jello! 🙂

I see lots of sweet potatoes and salmon in my future!

Soft breads, soups, smoothies. Be careful not to make smoothies and drinks too cold, as your tooth area might be sensitive for a bit. I haven’t had a root canal, but I needed to have a crown done and the temporary part was 2 weeks while I waited for the permanent crown to be done. I just didn’t have anything crunchy or ice cold.

Smoothies sound good….
