Thanks Joanna and Larryb for your replies. Have sent e-mail to Donna about the cookbook. Sounds just like what I'm in need of! Joanna, what has been your situation with oral cancer? When you talk about your food preferences, you obviously have eating limitations as I do/will too. I'm already dreaming of Thanksgiving dinner and how I'll be able to eat it. Three years ago I mashed it all up together (not including the pumpkin pie!)and if I recall, it was mighty fine! I was later able to eat everything though it was a challenge and slow going, but now with the loss of the rest of my tongue, I wonder what I will be able to manage. I know there is still swelling to go down and I am SO thankful to still be able to taste, that would have done me in for sure!
