But when today's green tea and sashimi left the same sensation of a missing taste over lunch, I knew my tastebuds were in revolt. So much for getting better. It's very frustrating to try and obtain a taste, any taste, when every successive attempt seems more futile. Besides the Japanese food, I tried mint tea, a mini Milky Way and a mini Mars bar, and some pizza. Only the pizza yielded some flavour because I sprinkled chilli flakes all over it. The only thing that tasted "right" today was water.
My mom says I should try to eat and drink stuff that is sourish, so maybe tomorrow will be all about tom yum soup and lime juice.

Oh no! I never meant to make you feel bad about cooking... In fact, damn it, I think it's fantastic that you chose to tackle cooking on the verge of getting better. Usually I just moan enough on the phone to get someone to be nice to me. Get well soon!
Oh... and here's my recipe for chicken soup, from a now defunct blog I never bothered to update in.

Just squirt some lime over it for fun. Get your mom to make it for you.
