Taste Buds
My nose is still a faucet. I am sick of blowing it, but that isn't the worst of it. For the last week, I haven't been able to taste anything.
I often hear people talk about this happening when they have a cold, but I can honestly say, I can't remember it happening to me. I have also heard these same people say that they don't feel like eating when they have this happen. If they can't taste, why bother eating?
NOT ME.
I know I should be taking this opportunity to eat more vegetables and cut back on the amount of butter I put on my rice. I mean, really, I can't taste it. I might as well eat more healthy than I have ever eaten before. But instead, I am continually trying to eat anything I can find to "see" if I can taste it. In fact, for the last week, I have found that the more calories it has, the more likely I am to give it a try.
Case and Point:
Friday was Hugh's birthday so I made cupcakes on Thursday night. I couldn't taste the batter, but I still licked the bowl. I knew the cream cheese icing must be good, so I devoured a few spoon fulls. I also taste-tasted 2 of the finished products to make sure they were edible. After swallowing the last bite of my 2nd one, all I could really tell you is that the texture was terrific and my stomach was full. Thus, I gave up taste testing for the night. I have continued to diligently taste test 2 cupcakes a day since Thursday. I still don't know if they taste good, so I will be forced to try again tomorrow.
