Thank you everyone for the info on the Vita-Mix.

Wanda, I have seen them at Costco. Do you know if they are the same as on the website?

The whole texture thing in pureed foods is a little hard for Clark to get used to. I remember seeing a recipe for Lasagne where all the ingredients were prepared separately then layered as you would normally. For the life of me, I cannot locate it. Has anyone else seen this or used this same recipe?

I also see that a lot of recipes use Thicken Up to give the food more body. I'm going to try this, too. I added unflavored protein powder to oatmeal and it worked well.

Amazing the things you learn to do, huh?
