Sounds like a package of the little 'goldies' would work well with this recipe. May have to try it Christmas. On foodnetwork.tv they boil the small potatoes til almost done, then squash each of them and fry them in garlic and oil. They clean bussels sprouts and cut them in half, and fry in olive oil, salt and pepper until tender. Dh loves them, so does bf, that I introduced the recipe to her. Easy and quick.
But without any teeth, Dh mainly likes 'soft' food. He is not starving yet.
Happy belated Birthday, Ansel. Hope you had a great day. Have a good one, everyone.
