Well if it hasn't returned by tomorrow or Saturday, I guess I'll be skipping the buffet and cigar shop for awhile and switch to a diet of oatmeal which is bland even with taste and smell. I don't feel that sick so maybe I'll try to make it into work tomorrow. Almost out of sick time so I'll have to go to work sick eventually.

Put a bunch of garlic and peppers into a broth, you will taste that.
Actually please go light on the garlic in case it makes your stomach sick. You would blame me.

Because if I can't taste anything, why would I go to a buffet or smoke a cigar? With a buffet I'd waste $40 either way....
It seems to be improving a little bit but it still doesn't feel like it's back to where it was. I know as a cigar smoker my taste isn't 100% but still....

I tried some Jamaican ghost pepper hot sauce last night. Just a tiny drop. I could feel the heat but couldn't taste any of the flavor like I usually do.
