It looks like European dentistry might be a lot cheaper but I needed
extra bone grown for upper molars on both sides and that did add
substantially to the price.

I don't know about "grown"; when my brother had his teeth implants done (he
had all of his teeth replaced) they used cadaver bones. Just the thought of
it made me cringe.

So what? The bone was sterilized but perhaps the current fashion for
bone grafts instead is a reflection of that revulsion.

I might add that cadaver bone was used as a scaffold on which o grow
your own bone using platelets extracted from your own blood. Disgusting
ain't it? And, distinctly tedious.

And your toenails. :-)

> 2 - you will really miss: nuts,

Some people like nut butters (peanut butter, cashew butter, almond
butter, etc). There was a discussion on this group recently about
making your own, as I remember. It didn't interest me, so I don't
remember if you have to buy a dedicated nut grinder (I know they sell
them), or you can use your blender, or it's easier to just buy them.

No suggestion here other than popcorn Jelly Bellies, which might
dissolve in your mouth if sucked on enough.

> corn chips,

If you are talking about tortilla chips, my kids make tortilla soup.
You put the solid ingredients in a bowl and then add hot chicken broth.
We always eat it with freshly fried and crispy tortilla chips, but it
might be worth trying with soggy chips. You would get the flavor but
not the texture. Cut the shredded chicken finely, roast the peppers
well (or use canned). The avocado should be fine as is.

> raw vegetables

Chop up whatever raw vegetables you want. Put in a blender with some
liquid. You will get the raw vegetable flavor.

Easier but less tasty would be to buy cans of V8 juice and drink cold or
hot.

Got that right. Took a volunteer postion at a paediatric hospital while
considering medical school options. One duty was feeding the sprogs (on
normal diet) jarred commercial baby food. Second time I did that, pinned
a very large bath towel to my front. Most of that food came back out
faster than it went in LOL. Stupidly bought some anyway when having the
first pair of wisdom teeth out. Also spit that out as fast as it went
in! How do people expect babies to eat that nasty stuff??

For how many teeth? Wife of a friend is currently receiving dental
implants in the UK. Something like 2200 euros per tooth, for extraction
and implant.

I dunno. It must be some of the worst tasting stuff on the planet, IMHO.
Neither of my kids could stand those ready-made jarred meat/vegetable
combinations; they'd eat a couple of the fruit and/or yogurt offerings
but that was about it. So I just made my own baby food (usually
whatever we were having - just mushed up so they could eat it).

There is no way to compare prices... every implant is different... often a
bone graft is needed in order for there to be a solid foundation to attach
an implant, that can bring the price up to well over $5,000. And implants
are not long lived anyway, 15 years is the outside limit for a perfect
candidate but 7-10 years is more realistic... when done taking short cuts
they may not last a year. With older people the implant is much more
involved due to jaw bone deterioration. An honest dentist will not
recommend rushing into having an implant, often a removable appliance is a
much better choice. One can wait to have the implant when they're older, to
increase the odds of the implant outlasting them... a lot can go wrong with
implants and typically they can't be redone... a person's age and the
general condition of their existing teeth needs to be considered. Implants
also require maintenence, regular realignment and retightening... this is
costly.

Most of my friends with children do the same, as did my own parents. One
couple brought a small blender/grinder to my house when they came to
Sunday lunch. Whatever they deemed appropriate for Junior was put into
the little machine and smushed up. He ate it all up.

In a recent episode of "Hell's Kitchen," one of the cooking teams was being
punished for losing some kind of cooking challenge. Part of their punishment
was their lunch: A chef walked in carrying a big platter with grilled
steaks, baked potatoes, and broccoli. But before any of the contestants were
allowed to eat, all that food was combined in a blender.

On a more positive note, the apricot purée I made as the basis for my
"anti-lava" bar in my Labor Day menu could easily have been taken for baby
food, but it was *fantastic*.

Ugh. I just had a titanium implant screwed into my jaw this afternoon and
the only thing I'm eating is vodka and vicodin. I feel your pain.
(literally.)

What sucks is that I just pruned my basil and have the need for pesto...

No matter what, vodka and vicodin is a poor substitute for homemade pesto
and pasta. :-)
