Chemo mouth is a lot different because it's a combination of nausea and dead taste buds. Hot and sour were winners there.
I'm particularly frustrated because it's a bad relationship that on both occasions I had just managed to escape but came back due to a sense of duty. Now I feel stuck

Oh, well...THAT would indeed suck. Feeling trapped is...horrid. Absolutely horrid.

This could really help with weight loss and muscle building.

Dang, and Boost was on sale yesterday at the drugstore, during my now "yes, I"m moving in here" daily CVS visitation. I have workout protein powders (Syntha-6) here, and I'll see if I can get some of those in him (and me), too; I find them actually quite good-tasting. I'm just not that much of a sweets eater, so all the protein shakes, etc. that are all candy-like, yadda, don't appeal to me much. Now, if they made a protein shake that tasted like oven-baked brie with almonds on top smeared on a hot-from-the-oven baguette...YUM. Thanks, Pooh.

LOL. FINDING any type of restaurant out where we are is a major challenge. We have a dive-y greasy spoon (that's actually quite good, if you don't mind hearing your arteries harden while you eat!) about 10 miles from the house; a Chinese restaurant about 20 miles away; two "Mexican" restaurants, one fairly dreadful, one pretty good, within 15 miles...and actually, that's about it. Oh, wait, there's a strip-mall Tempura-and-Teriyaki joint too, in that 15-mile radius. (I know, weird, right? Just plopped down in a strip mall, miles away from the urban center.) But a buffet-style restaurant? Seriously, I think that the closest one might be about....50 miles away? So...don't see that working. But I might try some trips to both the Chinese Rest. and stop and pick up some ala carte at the Mexican joint on the way home therefrom. {sigh}. I've become the family pack animal.
Thanks, gang!
