I think I've lost my mojo. Unlike Austin Powers, I won't be going back to the Sixties to retrieve it.
My senses of smell and taste have been off lately. All winter, I had the cold that would never end, and since I am a freak who reacts badly to just about every cold medicine out there, I couldn't take anything to help it. Now, it's allergies. Benadryl renders me unconscious. Zyrtec makes me sleepy, and if I take it at night, I wake up hungover. Claritin has no side effects, but didn't work either. I'm trying Allegra now, but it wears off too quickly--I can breathe at night, when I take it, but during the day, I am a drippy-nosed mess.
My cooking is suffering. When working without a recipe, I've been adding too much garlic and spice, because my judgement of what is enough is off.
I'm also not enjoying food as much. I feel bad when I eat out and I can't appreciate the flavors, because my sense of taste is off. I had my favorite TV dinner for lunch today, and it was totally unappealing.
I might need a break from blogging about food if my senses aren't in proper working order.
In the meantime, I highly recommend my friend Jonathan Vaudreuil's blog. He's always been a "big guy", but now he's aiming to reach his ideal BMI, and is tracking his progress with diet and exercise. (He also shares some nice recipes.)

Hopefully, I will get my mojo back soon.
