Braces are a pain, And when you have them tightened, it's almost as bad as starting over again. Mine were for a cross-bite - the teeth were straight, but my jaw was crooked (and was painful in itself). LOTS of soup and other soft foods. And my mother used that as an excuse to forbid me tomatoes for an entire summer.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Aw, no tomatoes -- but they are soft! Yeah, it's going to be an interesting 12-18 months. Good thing I've grown to like soup more. I used to not consider it a meal. Ever. And, you know, mashed potatoes are a fave, thank goodness. I was reading that you do sort of figure out the chewing thing to a certain extent, so that was heartening.
Not a productive workday at all today, oops. At least I got the one thing I needed to get out done. But I'll have to make up some time tomorrow. Eh, it's fine. No complaints.

I have lots of soup recipes and tips if you're interested.
Here's a free one: Learn to use the Italian tiny pasta, Orzo, in your soup. It has great mouthfeel and will make your soup feel more substantial.

I would love, yes, thank you!
I made some really good avgolemono last month, so I'll be doing that again for sure.

I will eat soup when it’s hot out. I love soup.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I also like soup when it's hot out. If it's too hot for soup it's probably too hot for food in general.

Thrive to spite them
When I was having some dental problems and couldn't chew i found that Mac and cheese is easy to mush on the roof of my mouth with my tongue.
And long spaghetti chopped up small was easy to eat

The other day at work they had to reject the milk delivery because the temp was too high. It was like 42 F. So yesterday there were people grumbling because no milk.
We got milk today and it wasn't too hot. I helped put it out because we were out , except for things like graa fed, lactose free and plant based. And half and half because those come with the dairy truck
As we are putting it out we are telling customers who are getting milk ..this is all we have, it came in today. We don't have skim or fat free milk. And then people were still trying to take milk from the back of the shelf. Or saying things like "I need skim milk.". We don't have it "the kind with the pink cap. " We are out of skim milk "So you're out of skim milk?"
