Whe...Welcome to the world of "anticipatory nausea!" When I heard that expression, I thought I had heard it all when it comes to being sick to my stomach (and I thought I'd experienced how bad it could be after being pregnant). <BR/><BR/>Ice, metal spoons, the metal thermal cup I had my ice in, lemon drops (the candy I would suck to get rid of the metallic taste), the watermelon Jolly Ranchers they gave me once when the lemon drops just didn't cut it. A year later, and I still can't manage ice in my drinks (or lemon drops or watermelon Jolly Ranchers). The sound of ice cubes crashing into the kids' cups when they are getting a drink from the fridge makes me feel slightly nauseous, even now. I hope this one doesn't hang on for you like it has for me. It's kind of a drag and hits when you don't expect it. I use it as a gentle reminder to be so thankful for how different things are in 2008 versus 2007!<BR/><BR/>For some good news: Taxol doesn't make you nauseous. Other side-effects, yes, but no nausea. Woohoo!!!<BR/>KathrynKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225665700359592204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585426241546709009.post-38044001400377965622008-05-12T04:00:00.000-07:002008-05-12T04:00:00.000-07:00Brown and GRAY.

In fact, early on, I was wondering why your blog wasn't a brown or gray background. <BR/><BR/>On a different note, what about lemonade ice chips? From fresh lemons? Or frozen applesauce popsicles? I think I might just make some myself...Kasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244374676322751034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585426241546709009.post-87562247194970610242008-05-11T21:11:00.000-07:002008-05-11T21:11:00.000-07:00I never would have recognized Brother Robert witho...I never would have recognized Brother Robert without hair!

It took about two hours, constantly standing over the onions and stirring "occasionally". But it was worth it because as they cooked the scent of them changed three or four times, and it gave me a real feel for the different flavors you can get out of an onion. Definitely an experience everyone should have. And maybe you'll make your peace with the scent and flavor of onion?<BR/><BR/>Love and prayers, as always. God bless you!Br.
