[blparent] fruits and veggies

What we're also thinking about doing is putting the vegetables and meat 
through the food processor and make a puree out of it to mix as a sauce. 
That's the only way Paul doesn't protest eating meat.  How long would a 
puree last in the refrigerator?  We don't have room in a freezer for ice 
cube trays so can't freeze them that way.

you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.

>> And the food suggestions you're all giving are great.
>> If you want to know the foods that they'll eat, I'll list them here.
>> Both will eat rice, spaghetti, bacon, cherios, krispex, goldfish, 
>> popcorn, fried rice from the Chinese places, (it has some corn, peas and 
>> grated carrot in it) pretzels, cheese curls, chocolate chip cookies, 
>> french fries, (a new one for Jesse).
>> Paul eats pepperoni, mac and cheese, those noodles in a cup, green beans, 
>> he has before eaten apple, raw carrots and cooked mushrooms but not right 
>> now, sauteed cabbage (haven't tried that one in quite some time), onions, 
>> fortune cookies.
>> Jesse eats chicken, beef, pork, little smokies, nutter butter cookies.
>> They drink water and white milk.
>> They do not like things with a smooth texture, no applesauce, yogurt or 
>> mashed potatoes.  Jesse used to eat boiled potatoes but those went out 
>> with the pureed food.
>> Now I know all that junk food shouldn't be there and I'm trying to
