Are You Buying Anything Special?

Aside from a food scale and measuring cups, have y'all seen any other tools that might be useful post-op? Today the Hubs and I went shopping and I was amazed to see how much a measuring cup of 1/4 cup of food is. Crazy!

I'm planning to get a magic bullet a couple of weeks after surgery. I've heard mixed reviews, though so I'm not completely sold. Have any experience with those?

I bought a cute four piece set of "condiment" bowls for my food so it doesn't look ridiculous in regular bowls they are 4oz so it makes it easy to use

And a set of demitasse spoons and forks

I did buy a magic bullet for my purée stage( it worked fine even with meat) but I don't really use it anymore... My son loves it thought and if you using powder Protein it would be handy ( I buy pre made shakes)

The bowls are the best buy and spoons I still use them after 3 months. :)

Where did you buy the demitasse spoon & fork set at, if you don't mind my asking? I saw one somewhere before and didn't save the link. Googling it just brings up the spoon/saucer combo. :(

I got lucky and found mine at kohls around the holidays. A lot of people buy baby spoons and forks those are probably easier to find.

If you look under appetizer spoons and forks places like crate and barrel carry them and small bowls too!

(White mini prep bowls)

I got the Ninja Pulse. It whips up shakes and frozen drinks, and it also food processes. It comes with 3 tumblers, sip lids, the blade for the tumblers, a bigger mixer pitcher, and a lot of other junk. I have had a Magic Bullet for a couple years and it recently broke. I decided to go ahead go with the Ninja. Both work well. The Ninja just has some featured the MB didn't.

Funny, I saw the Ninja yesterday and told my husband that maybe we should get that instead of the Magic Bullet. Still thinking about it. Do you like it better.
