Numb

Have you ever eaten anything but cold food the whole day? Try ice cream in the morning, ice candy for merienda and ice water in between. Sure it provides a soothing relief for any sore throat, but at the end of the day, what do you think your food will taste? NOTHING!

My taste buds are numb with all the cold food intake. I cannot even appreciate a sweet egg pie or a sweet chocolate ice cream. They all taste the same now- its bland, it's tasteless.

Now, throw in a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory mouth wash that coats the linings of your mouth and throat with a film that helps soothe the pain. If ever my taste buds goes back to normal, I still can't taste a thing with that gargle all over my mouth.

If you don't eat anything other than soup and ice cream, would you still get fat? Well, other than being able to free myself from the clutches of tonsillitis, I am hoping to loose some weight while I'm at it :)

Mangiare!
