is a blender. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It gets used for every meal these days.
It has become a Monday tradition that Andrew and a few friends go mountain biking on their day off. This last Monday was no different except for one thing. At about 2:00 I received a text message while I was at school from Andrew saying that he was on his way to the emergency room. I talk with my principle and was able to leave school a little early to meet him there. After some xrays it was declared a broken jaw bone. Poor guy had a gash on his cheek from where his face broke his fall on a rock and was totally swollen. He was in too much pain to talk.
The rest of the week consisted of doctors appointments and surgery on Thursday in order to put his jaw back in place with the help of a metal plate. The doctor informed us that Andrew will need to be on a liquid diet for the next 4 weeks.
Thus brings up the topic of the blender. Andrew's diet now consists of smoothies, pudding, jello, and pureed soups. I have done a lot of research about different types of soups that he can drink rather than chew. I might say that some of them have been pretty tasty. Here are some of our favorites:
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

You need to link to your recipes so that we can all try them too! Glad he's on the mend. Good to see you yesterday!
We made this one from Williams Sonoma a couple weeks ago and substituted bacon for Pancetta. We also just cooked it in a regular pot. It was easier than the recipe initially seems. Hopefully you'll have good luck with it too. The blender will be fine instead of the immersion blender I'm sure.

Awesome, thanks Julie! We will definitely try that out. And Katie, I don't know how to do links. I think you will need to show me.
