Metallic Turkey anyone??

I will be going for my 4^th treatment next Wednesday.  

 I am so glad that I am half way through my chemo. 

I am doing okay. My newest side effect is dealing with the ICKY METALLIC taste in my mouth. Everything tastes bad, even water. I cannot taste salt or sugar. My tongue is thick, just a yucky yuck mess.

And guess what? 

I depend much more on taste when I am cooking - than I realized....lol.

Over salting, over peppering and over spicing happens often. 

Plus I am cooking quite a few dishes that I am not familiar with, so spicing them just right is a big fat guess. We get either bland and edible or TOO salty or spicy for enjoyment. Poor Tom. He is a trooper though…he never or rarely says anything. 

I guess he appreciates my efforts, as tired as I am. 

So far..... I have not made either one of us sick ! 

We go ahead and eat the food because it is nourishment for our body... despite the lack of taste. Normally I am a fair cook. 

But right now I don't even enjoy cooking ...however.... we have to eat. 

I know ..... this to shall pass. 

 

Hugs to everyone....thank you for the prayers and positive thoughts !!
