I had to share this. Getting ready for tonight's binge continuation of Wentworth. Made a macaroni salad and doing burgers on the grill.
Decided to try a few spoonfuls of the salad to test how it came out after it had been in the fridge for a bit. After the second bite I had to take another taste. I then thought "Wow, this is the BEST batch of macaroni salad I ever remember making!". I had to put it away so I wouldn't keep eating.
Then it hit, it's not that the batch is the best I've ever made, it's that it will be three weeks on Monday since I've smoked and my tastebuds are returning! Gave me a short fit of the giggles.
Which now reminds me that on my way to work last week I cross a bridge. I live on the ocean. It was low tide and if you've ever experienced what the mudflats can smell like, well, it's sometimes not very pleasant. I just realized that it's the first time I've smelled the flats in years.
Tastebuds and smeller returning!
