For dinner tonight I made these

pumpkin dumplings. I added more spices than it calls for. They tasted okay,
but not nearly as good as the first time. I'm not sure what the difference
was. I also sauteed kale with garlic, one of my standby favorites and I only
ate one bite and gave the rest to David.

I wonder what's wrong with my mouth!

it could be that the pumpkin that you used wasn't ripe enough and that the flavour wasn't developed enough i know it sounds weird but look at a banana if it isnt ripe it doesnt have the same sweetness pumpkin is the same.
i always try to buy cut pumpkin so that i can see the flesh the darker the orange colour the better they taste...!!!

I wish I had the ambition to cook the pumpkin too, but I needed something easy
so I used canned pumpkin.

Might you be developing a cold or a flu?

Actually I am just getting over a nasty cold, I bet you're right. Good point.

You're probably just a little burnt out with all the rich foods of the
season. Have a few days of simple foods and then food will taste good
again.
