So, as some of you may have gathered, I recently had my wisdom teeth removed. All four of those stubborn suckers had to come out, and some additional fillings were the icing on the crappy dental procedure cake. It pretty much sucked, and I suffered some intense bruising on the lower sides of my face which remained like permanent little mutton chops for a couple weeks. I'd been following directions carefully, I was sure to not use a straw, I was taking all my medications on time, and eating soft foods and carefully rinsing after eating. When I went into the dentist to get my sutures removed on Wednesday, the dentist noted that I hadn't healed properly and was pretty severely infected. Blast!
The worst part of this all, in my opinion, was his suggestion (read: order) that I can only eat soft foods for another week, at least! I'm so sick of mashed potatoes and pudding I could cry. I miss caramel, steak, tortilla chips. Really anything solid that requires chewing- I LONG for it. But alas, I must follow the doctor's orders. I didn't really want to make a cupcake type recipe for Foodie Friday two weeks in a row, but cupcakes are one of my few soft food comforts. I can gum them down, but they aren't liquified or baby-food-esque in nature, and that gives me some relief from a steady diet of mashed potatoes and pudding.
If you have any appetite at all after reading about my infected mouth, here's our recipe for today! Yay!
