Illness induced randomness...

...because my ears are too plugged up to listen to any more of Jane Austen's lyrical prose.

...because I can't take one more shower without my skin peeling off.

...because I have lost all sense of taste and smell to the point that I'm just drinking hot water... tea tastes like hot water now anyway so why not.

...because of all this, I am blogging some randomness...

LOOK!!!
Tillamook cheese! From Oregon!!! 

Have I mentioned that we are all sick? Well, Sean and Shortcake are doing their best to only succumb mildly right now. They are keeping this place running. It all started Friday morning for the rest of us. The Professor was hoping to still go to his book club on Friday night but by that afternoon, it was obvious that wasn't going to happen. They were reading Mortal Engines this month. He really did not like the book. Dystopian fiction just does not appeal to him and he was hoping to hear from his friends what they thought of it. I had made a grasshopper trifle and topped it with these candy locusts to send with him.
The inspiration come from a line in the book...
Those who still have a sense of taste are enjoying it.
Back to the sick bed.

  4. Oh, no! I hope you all feel better soon. We remembered you and your family in our rosary we said this evening. Have you tried mentholatum?

    P.S. The trifle looks super yummo. :)

  6. Tillamook cheese is the best in the world. Their peanut butter and chocolate ice cream is to die for as well. The factory is cool too! You should all come out this way and make a visit!

    Get better soon!!
