I was talking more about graters and stuff, things that has been liberally smeared with the stuff but not necessarily cooked it. Though the same rule applies, unless it’s really baked on there.

Oof! I was taking liposomal vitamins C and D, as well as probiotics, water water water...

I’ll generally try to deglaze the pan first, unless the mess is completely evenly burned into the entire bottom of the pot. Just some tap water and a stiff spatula (wooden if non-stick) can do wonders.

To get cheese off of stuff, rinse and scrub it off in cold water. Once your implements and scrubbier are free of it, you can resume using hot water, and nothing will have bits of melted cheese stuck in it to bother you for countless washings to come.

Thankfully, I never felt nauseous or had the GI distress symptoms, but the days-long headaches were no joke. I had made a huge pot of soup for someone I knew that had received a positive diagnosis, then a few days later got my own, so that was my main staple. Everything just tasted like cardboard, though. I lost ten…

Food Lion?

Losing my taste was the worst. It came back after about two weeks, but until then, all I could really “taste” was salt. Not the food it was on; just salt. The fatigue has been hard to shake. I have more energy, but still less reserves. When I’m done, I’m DONE. And my alcohol tolerance is waaaaay down.

Who uses this much oregano?!

It’s smoking cigarettes, talking back, and you suspect its new friends have peer pressured it into having sex and/or getting a tattoo?

Tonight’s gonna be an Arby’s night.

We will if we don’t fight for something better.

It would be quick, at least.

They’re stranded in the past!

Gonna have to check the Haynes Manual...

Somebody tell Andy Samberg and the Lonely Island crew that their sequel just docked at the marina.

Aw, maaaaaaaaan...

Sure, and I bet you’d tell David Tracy to buy a new vehicle, too...

This vehicle, while in less than ideal condition, at least maintains enough structural integrity to hold its form.

You need to add the van to your list of owned vehicles, David.

I was really hoping she’d get picked, too.
