Hi @cdpm. Sending you virtual hugs. It must be difficult to enjoy food when eating is so painful.
At least potato contains vitamin C, zinc and some manganese, which you need to help heal your mouth sores.

It's slowly healing gums from nearly 22 teeth being removed at one time. No sores luckily.

Thought people might be interested to learn that you can do an Indian Take Away without going through the carb equivalent of the sound barrier.
Here is what I had delivered by our local curry house on Saturday evening when we had some friends round.
I calculate the list below to include a total of 45 carbs.

Lamb Tikka (the dry dish not the one with the sauce) - Full portion
Brinjal Bhargee - Aubergine, onion etc - 2/3rd portion
Sag Aloo - Spinach with Paneer - 2/3rd portion
Small Desperado beer - 1 250ml bottle

Obviously no poppadoms, Nan bread or rice for me but more than full up at the end .

I usually consume around 45 to 65 carbs per day so the take away did take my total carbs on Saturday to 72 but this is something I only do, every few months.

Miraculously, my oregano has started to sprout (never known that to happen in February), so decided to make use of the leaves in yesterday's lunch. Once cooked and used in a marinade, it didn't have the same intensity of flavour as oregano in season, although it worked fine in salad.

Espresso.

L: Espinacas con garbanzos using spinach, kale, chick peas, Padrón chillies, almonds, macadamias, full fat Greek yoghurt, tomato purée, garlic, paprika, cumin seeds, olive oil and touch of red wine vinegar.(omitting the traditional toasted bread cubes from mine).
