    Now why isn't this kind of practical advice on official health websites? :grumpy:

    –––––

    Some combination of sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, potato, green bean, something green and leafy, and definitely sweet corn kernel, with a stock cube added, all mashed together. Yum. :)

    Pureeing does have one down side. Often results in some version of murky green-brown-grey in colour. o_O

    Some frozen foods taste better than 'fresh' too. Like sweet corn kernels. Also hold onto their nutrients better.

    After more than a decade of excellent service from my current fridge (that I got second-hand too), it is nearing time for a new one. Whatever I end up with, it must have more freezer space. Might even get a separate chest freezer. :thumbsup:

    I got my blender on sale (40% off). After a couple of weeks of blending it was clear it worked so well for me that I went back a got another one (coz still on sale) for a spare.

    I recommend a freezer with drawers and/or shelves rather than a chest freezer. We had a chest freezer first and it was a nightmare to find things, stack them sensibly and lean down into to retrieve things.
    Now with a drawer freezer with each drawer labelled with the type of contents it's orderly and easy to find things.

    I very much agree.
    Uprights are more expensive but they are frost free. Chest freezers aren't.

    I used to call my food slurries. It looked unappetising but better than ending up in hospital battling with them about tube feeding.
