Wow - I am a little surprised at what has changed since my surgery this past June. You'd think I'd have discovered it before now. First of all, let me say that this is THE FIRST Thanksgiving "EVER" that I have not been stuffed or uncomfortable. I love this....but it is so weird.....dessert did not taste good at all. I was not impressed, and I wish I had just not finished my little sliver of chocolate meringue pie. My daughter makes killer pies, home made crusts, everything from scratch. (I taught her!!) I waited until she and her family left to ask my husband if the chocolate pie was as good as it always is!! I thought maybe something had gone wrong, maybe she'd gotten distracted, added to much or too little sugar or cocoa!! He said "No, it was wonderful." I reached my goal earlier this month and finally allowed myself a few bites of pumpkin bread from Star Bucks and I had a couple of bites of chocolate cake. Both were great....but today, the turkey, dressing and everything tasted like I remember, but the desserts (I took a bite of the pumpkin too) just didn't do it for me. Also, I love cranberry sauce, and today I could have taken it or left it. I guess my taste buds have changed a little, with some things anyway. Has anyone else experienced this just on "specific" things?

I bet that is a strange sensation. I was all bummed because I should have just chosen like 2 items to have a decent amount of, instead I chose to fill plate with a tiny bit of each food and I didn't feel like I was able to enjoy it because I got full so fast. I am being a Debbie downer, I can appreciate that I was unable to eat only a tiny bit but on the other hand my head was telling me to dig in!

i LOVE chocolate meringue pie! My grandma used to make the best ones...nobody else I know puts meringue on chocolate pies. So glad to hear I am not weird that I love that!
