Day 17

I noticed today that I actually do have pain, it's just first thing in the morning. The pressure builds up and after approximately 8 hours of no jaw movement, my face is extremely tight and painful. However, after my morning ritual of mouth cleaning and coffee I feel like a whole new person.

I had a very relaxing day today. I started off my day making up for the missed cupcake opportunity yesterday. I threw a cupcake in the blender with some milk...And yes, you indeed can put cupcakes in a blender. I also decided that I could no longer go without pizza so I made pizza soup! I finally used my new crockpot and made a delicious soup! My friends came over later in the day for wine night. Even though I can't actually eat anything I still like to entertain! I made a bunch of appetizers ( including the now famous pizza soup) and played hostess. Even though I can't eat doesn't mean I can't feed my friends.

FYI pizza soup recipe: tomato soup base, green bell pepper, red onion, thyme, basil, oregano, tomatoes, pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella, and chunks of bread. Mmmm :-) throw it in a blender and its a jaw surgery blessing!

I also discovered that you can put egg-rolls in a blender: add a little chicken stock and perfection! My current theory is that there isn't anything you can't throw in the magic bullet. In case anyone is wondering, no I am not paid by magic bullet for endorsements...
