    Puree foods , what are good things to start with ?

    So next week I start on pureed foods. I am trying to think of some good things to try. I am kind of stumped. Give me some food, pots and pans and I could fix you a five star meal. But pureed items, I have no good ideas.

    Finding good walking shoes?

    Look at 6pm or Zappos on line. For mens shoes Sketchers are decent. My favorite women's are softball. I have big and wide feet. Work 12 hour days, the soft walk are my go to work shoe, they are pricey but my feet don't hurt at the end of a long shift on my feet. New Balance are not bad either.
