I hate meal prepping but it’s the reason I’ve lost 20 lbs since January. I don’t prep burgers like this godless heathen, though

    Storytime!

    Years ago, I worked a contract w/ a long-term post-op elders’ facility, and learned first-hand that those with dysphagia (difficulty/inability to swallow) can often eat the same food as their neighbors — provided it’s Vitamixed first. 🤓

    The thing is? Aside from the mouth-feel, it tastes exactly the same as a perfect bite, every time. 😶

    For instance, a cheeseburger w/ the works becomes an orchestral synthesis of its ingredients, without the chewing. So, no crunchy lettuce or piquant tomato skin, etc., but then again… Those are atypical to the US “burger” at this point anyhow, eh? 😅

      Homogeneity isn’t always good, sometimes you gotta clear the palate. Compromise would be to blend individual ingredients and put them next to each other

        Yep, we did that, too. Despite the slew of exploitive, profit-focused practices elsewise, the nutrition dept made absolutely sure we were a resident-first, shareholders-last kinda team.

        You’ll note that the example was cheeseburger, and at a post-op facility in the US health care system. 😅 I’m not suggesting that you frappe your kobe.

        If anything, I was recalling a memory that sparked when reading, and felt like sharing the simple joy of a new discovery. You do you, though. Carry on.
