@avmcbellar Thankyou SO much for your informative reply. Yes, you sure would expect seniors' rez's to cater to the needs of us old folks, but that's the nature of the beast, here. It's a great place, and the meals are excellent, but I can't eat them! (still looking for that pony!)
During dinner this evening I was talking about all this with my friend, and she is giving me a brand new Bullet that she's never used! I found the pony!! 😆
I'll check out Amazon for the smoothie mixes and, also, maybe I can find frozen food that's been cooked. Maybe not though?
I do use lactose free dairy milk for my cereal and coffee with no problem 😊.
I can't get to a store to shop but have just discovered Amazon and learning how to order, with not too much difficulty. Makes me feel like Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Thanks again

@artist01 I actually saw Thoroughly Modern Mary when I was on grade school. Do you remember Do the Tapioca?

@artist01 you Thoroughly Modern Millie are doing quite well, even found the pony! 😀Now you have no excuse for whipping up a smoothie. You’re welcome! I am grateful to be able to help. I do the same for my mother but all remotely. I order whatever she needs from Amazon and let her know when it gets delivered to her door. So far so good. She will be 91 this year. Video chatting with her everyday allows me to help her with her low vision. Besides not being able to see she has diabetes. Between her language barrier and not driving she is very limited. With my help she remains independent with living in her own apartment. I pretty much manage her rides, finances, medical visits, phone calls, and some foods while she does the rest like cooking and cleaning. She does well managing the Ipad and cell phone I had set up for her. I guess she has also become a Thoroughly Modern Minnie, lol. You do what is necessary for survival in today’s world.
For a better variety why not try foods more tolerable to you. Besides cooked vegetables, you may find treats like frozen raw banana( in pieces or whole) chocolate covered. I have found popsicles made of only water, banana, and chocolate powder. Surprisingly, they tasted better than I had previously thought. There is more variety available in foods. You just need to find it. I will be happy to help if you have questions. By the way, did you ever have any issues with strabismus or diplopia? I am waiting for the corrective surgery to take place in a year from now. In the meantime I manage as best as I can. Can’t wait for that day to come. Best wishes to you. Toni
