That sort of sensitivity is a lot different from a toothache. I went
through a period of sensitivity and started using Sensodyne. It worked
for me. Later on I switched to Melaleuca toothpaste and have no
sensitivity issues.

I always make extra mashed taters because they also reheat well. One
of my favorite foods.

I always add about a teaspoon of baking soda when I make my spaghetti

DId it just come out of the blue and go away? That would seem to
indicate sinus infection. I am not proud to say I have a lot of
experience with dental pain. LOL I have only one tooth left on my upper
quadrants and the rest are implants. Getting close to that on the
lower. Tooth pain totally sucks.

With my horrible teeth I felt the same way but I've been replacing them

I have cleanings every three months due to periodontal disease and once
a year the dentist has to do an eval. I rarely get xrays unless they
are looking at a possible root canal (getting one in a few days) because
my hygienist sees me 4 times a year and can see problems earlier than
they will start to cause a problem.

I didn't scroll down enough to see this, but this is so true. I had to
tell my dentist office when I had a spinal fusion because it might
impact some of their treatment, or they had to watch for infection.
After the first couple of treatments they haven't required antibiotics
and I haven't had infections.

You could be right Steve. My last bad toothache involved an upper
tooth that was split right down the middle, but it was obvious at all
to start with. It was quite possibly the worst toothache I ever had as
well.

I understand completely I still have most of my teeth, but the last
few toothaches resulted in all but one being pulled.

It's a hard one to explain. The tooth has been sensitive for a couple
of years - eating steak seems to be one of the worst things to bring
on a toothache which may last anything from a few minutes to maybe
half an hour. I pointed it out on my two previous dental appointments
but they couldn't find any problem - same as now.

Last Sunday it decided to up the ante and the toothache itself lasted
all night, then the pain seemed to be more in my jaw.

Yep, I have a very low tolerance for any kind of pain in the head, be
it hay fever, toothache or flu.

No. Acid is never a problem for me. I usually wish there was more of
it because that's what gives tomato sauce that fresh off the vine
zing. In fact, I never add carrot to any tomato sauce either because
even the tiniest amount jacks up the sweetness to dessert level (IMO).
That's probably why I couldn't stand any of the so called restaurant
house/home made tomato sauces I had recently in Italy. They tasted
over-cooked and bland to me. Even our commercial canned tomato sauces
have a better, brighter flavor than what I experienced.

I've rarely been prescribed any antibiotic. What the hell is wrong

It wouldn't surprise me to hear he picked a lot of bacterial STDs that
were treated with antibiotics, but a more likely scenario is an old
fashioned Dr who prescribed antibiotics every time he got the
sniffles. He lives a pretty much isolated life, so his immune system
is easy pickins for any stray germ or virus he comes into contact with
during his occasional forays into society.

I guess some doctors do that, or used to, just to get the patient to go
away. Or prescribe a placebo to placate the hypochondriac type.

I live a pretty isolated life, too, but I do actually venture out and
about. I don't catch every little bug that comes along. People sneeze,
people cough. I don't get sick as a result of being exposed to them.

I agree. Mashed potatoes are great just reheated in the microwave. No
real need to turn them into something else.

Add a grated carrot at the start... extra diced onion adds sweetness
too. But I don't mind acerbic pasta sauce, too sweet is like jared.

I do like mashed potato pancakes. My Scottish grandmother and my mother

As you know I have two knee replacements but have never been advised to take
antibiotics unless I have had an infection (usually chest) and that was
always *for* the chest, not the knees. I've never had to take any before
going to the dentist either. I guess different places advise differently.

Yup! Made up about 2lbs worth Thursday. (sorry, didn't weigh the
potatoes but that is about right from the 10lb bag). They reheat
nicely.

I've never tried freezing them. I wonder if they will work for one
slot in a frozen home made lunch? I know the TV dinners have them, but
not sure if they do anything 'special' to them for it to work right.

Mashed potatoes (garlic or otherwise) work just fine for a frozen home
made lunch or dinner. Nothing special required in the way of preparation.

Oh! missed it and my answer was up there. Real ones freeze well.
Good to know!

Mashed potato pancakes are a southern delight. I add green onions
(grow my own) and a little chilipotle power to them. Also, potato
dumplings are another use.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

I don't but then no one seems to have a problem with it.

I like the recipe above but we'd add more spices to that volume here
and no salt or sugar. Specifically the thyme, basil, and oregano would
get more. Doesnt mean this one is 'wrong' in any way, just a different
orientation.

Grin, sorry I don't really measure that much (eyeball cook on this one).

When talking to the orthopedist about my knee replacement on several
occasions, he stressed to me that I would have to be very careful about any
kind of infection in the body, including any kind of tooth problem, due to
the infection moving to the replacement quickly. I decided not to do it for
now, if ever.

Gosh I haven't heard anything about that. Odd, since infection in the first
knee I had done nearly killed me.

I will bear it in mind though, thank you.

I don't think mashed potato pancakes are a southern thing. My maternal
grandmother was straight off the boat from Scotland and she brought her
recipe for mashed potato pancakes with her. Grandma & Grandpa settled
in western Ohio. Never set foot south of the Mason/Dixon. So, I got my
mashed potato pancake recipe from her. She did come from the south of
Scotland, though.

LOL, works! They are just prety popular down south. Elsewhere too.

There are many factors to consider regarding prescribing antibiotics,
depends on the procedure and a person's medical issues. I'm sure you
were given an antibiotic prior to your knee replacement surgery, if
not your doctor is an idiot. If someone has Lupus they will need
antibiotics for nearly every surgical procedure, even dental work
where surgery is involved; extractions, implants, root canal, treating
gingavitus, etc. I already explained in a previous post, yesterday,
for the pinheads I knew would ask stupid questions why I am prescribed
antibiotics, I've already stated I've had a chronic respiratory
condition for more than 20 years that produces excessive mucous in my
airways, I get sinus and bronchial infections regularly. There are
hundreds of chronic conditions that require antibiotic treatment
regularly, some people get chronic eye infections that require
antibiotic eye drops every day of their lives or they'll go blind, I
have two cats that get anitbiotic eyedrops every day, most Asthmatics
get infections from the inhalers they use,the infection is a side
effect of the medication.... most women get yeast infections as a side
effect from taking birth control pills... go know there are so many
moroons here.

I baked 24 jumbo raisin bran muffins first thing this morning, grated
in a big zuke, added applesauce to cut back on the oil, also added
cinnamon, powdered ginger, molasses, and honey. I ate one with butter
still hot from the oven, wonderful. Froze half in a one gallon
zip-loc. Leaves are really turning now, walked out to get some pics
on this bright sunny day.

I haven't tried that myself. I generally find that if cooked slowly
for a long time any acid dissipates.

Barbara's hypothesis is nonsense. I live in an isolated community, and
yet I rarely ever get colds, flu and gastro. I go into Launceston and
people are sneezing and coughing... I never catch a damned thing.
