DAY 1: Wisdom Teeth — Chronicles of A Week-Long Liquid Meal
I decided not to pout over a possible week of bad liquid food, since, after all, I was already regretting not having complete anesthetization for my wisdom teeth extraction. As a squeamish little person, being fully conscious for the pulling, yanking, and crunching (not to mention, the blood) was a little like being in your own bad horror flick, and I rewarded myself with a week of food adventure, trying out new recipes and boldly going where no liquid-diet fiend had gone before.
Welcome to the chronicles of my chew-free meals!
Recipe #1:
Curried Coconut Chicken Consommé Scented with Cilantro & Garlic
1 can chicken broth
1 tablespoon yellow curry paste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 can coconut milk
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
4 glove garlic (sliced)
1 fillable teabag
Bring to a boil the chicken broth, curry paste, water and coconut milk in a small pot. Place the cilantro and garlic in the empty teabag, close the top, and drop the teabag into the pot. Let simmer for 15 minute on low heat. Remove the teabag before serving; salt to taste if desired.

Publisher-Creator Mikhail Saavedra began life down by the deepest tip of southern Latin America. He started life with a deep curiosity for all things, with music and books being at the forefront, a curious child by all accounts. As he grew and opened his eyes to the world, he developed a sense of justice and dignity in part as a reaction to growing up in a military dictatorship. Alas, this did not fill him with fear or cynicism but a more rebellious spirit, which led him to being incredibly popular at the principal’s office and the local riot police department….
Then came Canada and it was here that he was able to formulate his deep desire to learn about the world, with Toronto being the kind of multicultural soup that could engage his need to know and embrace. It started with writing, then moved on to what became Toronto’s first Latin Alternative radio show, followed by an all-English show in the same vein. It was this desire to find the true “crossover” among people, which led him to the concept of “Alternavox”
He is a lover of wine, good food, Neruda, Eduardo Galeano, rebel music, revolutionaries, dancing, family and beautiful people. Believes that kindness in this much too cynical world is revolutionary, that you are a better person when able to give a little without asking for the change and that on the same token you should laugh at yourself and the madness surrounding you as often as possible as you set out to change the world bit by bit.
