You'd think I'd be inspired
In the last couple of months, I've read three books that revolved around the joys/loves/frustrations of cooking: "A Homemade Life" by Molly Wizenburg, "My Life in France" by Julia Child, and "Julie & Julia" by Julie Powell. Okay, so the last two were primarily because Mom & I really enjoyed the Meryl Streep movie & we visited a bookstore immediately after leaving the movie theater. But still that's a hell of a lot of books about cooking for someone who usually can barely be bothered with microwaving Green Giant vegetables. I even ordered (and received) "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" from Amazon, and I've occasionally cracked it open to look at specific recipes mentioned in "Julie & Julia". But I still feel no yearning to spend lots of time in the kitchen preparing elaborate food. Oh well, maybe when I'm feeling 100% ;-).
Speaking of - I'm at the tail end (hopefully) of the sickness now and I'm soon coming to the point where I have to decide something. See, I haven't had any coffee for the last 4 days. When I'm sick, I usually switch from coffee to tea because coffee no longer tastes or smells good to me. This means that when I'm sick I'm also going through a certain amount of caffeine withdrawal (yeah, the tea I drink has caffeine, but not nearly as much as my coffee) & so the headaches I've had are probably a combination of cold-symptom & semi-withdrawal. Now that I can see wellness in sight, I have to decide whether to stay off coffee & keep to tea, or if I should go back to coffee. Any opinions are welcome.
