Feb. 24th, 2008 01:11 amWell, I just threw a load of dishes in the dishwasher. Now it's time to drug myself to sleep again. This has become my new tactic for getting well... sleep as much as I can manage, and when I'm awake, consume fluids constantly. It seems to be working out pretty well, my neck is visibly less swollen today, and Mike reported none of the white spots on my tonsils that I spotted on Wednesday.
I think I've put on a little weight.
While I've been sick, I haven't been very hungry at all. Not in a the-thought-of-eating-makes-me-feel-sick loss of appetite way, but just in a I'm-not-that-hungry kind of way. I hope that it's because I've been doing so much lying around... if that's the case it means that some of my natural metabolic controls might be working normally enough now to say, "hey, you spent most of the day in bed... eat less!"
I saw a cocktail recipe in my new issue of Bon Appetit magazine that is kinda like a bloody mary, but instead of using tomato juice, it uses tomatillo juice, and instead of vodka it calls for tequila. It looks mighty tasty; unfortunately I have never seen tomatillo juice available in stores in bottles, which means (since I don't have a juice extractor) that I would likely need to husk, rinse and puree a bunch of tomatillos and then strain the solids out. It sounds like a big process, but I'd like to try it at least once.
