Day-22: Yep, I've Pureed That

Years ago my Magic Bullet died. It was replaced with an Oster Personal Blender. The Oster gets the job done, but it's no bullet.

When I had the Magic Bullet I used it for things like shakes, margaritas, guacamole, whipped cream, salsa and other random things. The Oster's really only good for shakes and pureeing stuff for my Liquid Lent.

My Uncle called me today and left me a voice mail, part of which said "Would it count if I had a chef puree a Filet Mignon, steak fries and a beer? If so, I think I could do your liquid diet."

As I mentioned before, I'm trying to avoid turning "normal" meals into liquids - after all, these are my rules so if I'm going to take the effort to puree a meal I might as well just eat the meal. Pureeing a meal as a loophole only cheats me.

But here's a list of things I have pureed or have been given to me pureed:

• Slimfast & Ice
• Slimfast and peanut butter 
• Slimfast, Ice & Blueberries 
• Slimfast & Chia Seed (I'll talk more about Chia another day)
• Ice cream and Milk
• Split Pea Soup
• Ham & Bean Soup
• Chili
• Corn Chowder 
• Fight Club Captain's: Cancer Crushing Magic Awesomeness 
• Some weird thing from The Republic that looked amazing. I think it had carrots and coriander amongst other things
• Hummus, Spicy SW Ranch Dip & French Onion Broth - IT WAS AWFUL - The thought of that combo will haunt me for the rest of my life 
• Cream of Mushroom Soup 
• Strawberries, Whipped Cream, Vanilla Ice cream & Sponge Cake - I almost consider that cheating - but only almost 

I'm pretty sure that during the next three weeks that list will expand, but for now that's it. Here is a list of things I've really wanted to puree:

•  A Cheeseburger
• Tacos, Tacos, Tacos and more Tacos 
• Chips, Salsa & Guacamole 
• Peperoni Pizza and Beer
• Beef Roast
• Mashed Potatoes and Gravy   
• Macaroni and Cheese

I have not been around a steak, but the next time I am it will probably be added to the list.
