Ooops!
I have a bit of a cold - nothing too serious, except my sense of smell is gone. I was reheating vegetable soup for supper tonight, and tasted it. Decided it was too bland, so I ground some pepper in. Tasted it again, and it was still really dull, just faintly sweet and salty, so I put more pepper in. tigerfort couldn't finish it for the pepper-heat, and even I was feeling it in my mouth by the end of a big bowl-ful. I still couldn't taste it!
