Well I was determined to eat having only a bowl of soup yesterday. I typically like mushy cereal in the morning. So into the blender goes some frosted flakes, rasin brand, cantouloupe, milk, and a bananna. Blend as I might I could not get this stuff to the real liquid stage. More like runny oatmeal. Into the syringe it goes and its difficult to press the plunger. Off come the syringe from the tube and this stuff is all over me. Back in the blender and this time a little apple juice. Back in the syringe and manged to get it all down. I guess theres a learning curve to everything.
