I know you've missed me as much as I've missed you, but I was away with good reason - today marks my 15th day of nicotine deprivation. I was a twitchy punchy disaster with my sensation of taste and smell in fascinating disarray. Food was suddenly too salty or too spicy, and sometimes just plain overwhelming, but slowly the instruments of hedonism have recalibrated and they're eager to get back to work punishing livers, stomachs, and paychecks...join me once again?
Look for a whole heap of love in the next week including restaurant reviews, a big new project involving ground meat and liquor, and our biggest cocktail test yet!
Wait until your sense of smell returns. When I first quit, I could barely walk down the deterget aisle at the supermarket.

It's already back with a hell of a force, for good and for bad.
I'm getting really tired of the smell of everyone's shampoo when I'm on the MAX...

Congrats on your gritty, I'm gonna do this cold turkey if it kills me ;) approach to becoming a non-smoker! Well done my favorite epicurean. If anyone has access to a padded room they would be willing to loan me for a couple of weeks, I would be eternally grateful! Tasting, smelling, I vaguely remember those senses but I miss them ;) LMAO at Miss Amyroseatkins recent tweet...

Correction, I'm still a newby tweeter and am foggy-headed having just awakened from a 4 hour nap. So my LMAO comment is directed to Tim Don. Very funny to those of us who understand the inside joke of "put it there, now pick it up and put it down"!

Goodist,
I object on principle.
But I still like you,
