Funny story.
The first time I got covid, it messed with my sense of taste. Coffee was beyond nasty. My beloved Diet Mt. Dew was gross. Coke products were okay but Pepsi products were undrinkable. Just random foods that shouldn’t be salty tasted like I was licking a salt shaker.
I’ve started drinking matcha tea. The 3 big ingredients in matcha tea are turmeric, black pepper and green tea. A box (with tax) is about $4.00 at Kroger. After reading the ingredients, I thought, I can buy a box of turmeric and make this way cheaper. So that’s what I’ve been doing.
The other day, I make a cup and as I’m drinking, it just keeps getting saltier. I know I put pepper in my tea because some of the pepper flakes float to the top. Heck no! I’ve got covid for the 3rd time this year?
Convinced I have covid – AGAIN! Take a covid test is the first thing I do when I get home. I know Chico is about to bust. But must! – take! – covid test! Praise God it’s not Covid. What then!?
I wash my cup. Make another. Perfect.
????? What the?
This time, when I make my cup of tea, I’m making dang sure I get pepper. As I search the packet bag for pepper, I discover pepper packets are black. Salt packets are red. EXCEPT for Burger King. Their salt packets are blue. The only thing that makes sense is that a salt and pepper packet were stuck together and I put both in my tea.
In this case, salt was nasty. 🧂Not the flavor I was going for.

Before Covid, the last thing I remember being able to taste was a fine single malt scotch. Woke up the next morning and couldn’t taste a thing. The first thing I remember being able to taste was coffee. But it tasted like whatever you clean out of the cat box, with hot water. Disgusting at first, but I’ve learned to like the taste. My tastebuds were forever changed.

Oohh, I am so sorry. That’s bad. It’s so weird. Things just don’t taste the same. The other day, I’m drinking a cup of coffee, same coffee I drink every day and it tasted like an old moldy ashtray. Clean coffee pot, clean cup, same coffee. And things that shouldn’t be salty, taste like licking a salt shaker. Pray your sense of taste comes back and you can savor the things you enjoy. 💕🙏🏻

I’ve (so far) not gotten the plague (knock wood). Probably because I’m such a recluse. Sorry it’s hit you so many times.
