Try adding some broth, milk, or some kind of liquid (other than water) to your puree. You may need it to be just a bit thinner to help you get it down. It should be the consistancy of a milkshake. The example I was given was that you could suck it up a straw if you were using one. But then, we know better than to use straws don't we. LOL

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
