ugh!

That was a perfectly nice dinner. Not fancy, but it was simple and tasted good.

Or it would have, but for this horrid taste that's been in my mouth since Sunday. Something about the stew I made then has left my mouth with a coating or underlying film or something that makes everything I eat bitter, really, really bitter.

I've tried drinking milk, brushing my teeth repeatedly, gargling with Listerine, gargling with salt water, chewing powerful gum...nothing makes it go away.

Ooh, you need my cherry pie. There's such an appalling amount of sugar in there that nothing can withstand it. Sadly, the chances of there still being a piece left when I see you on Sunday are pretty slim.

Indeed, knowing Howletts and cherry pie and how fond you are of my grandfather's dictum that "fruit pie is just bread and fruit, and what's healthier for breakfast than bread and fruit?" I have a feeling that the chances you mention are not represented by what mathmeticians would call natural number.

I hope something makes it go soon :0(

Thanks!

Did you happen to cook with pine nuts? Hope it goes away soon!

[winterbadger]

No, I had some rather elderly pine nuts on a salad several days earlier and no ill effects were noted.

I think something I added to the stew *really* proved unpopular in the digestive tract and has resulted in a small noxious cloud that creeps up my throat at night and coats everything. Antacids and eating as little as possible for a while are my plan, though this happening right before Thanskgiving makes that hard...
