Changes and ?maybe? loss of estrogen?
For the first time in 10 years I made my favorite omelette this morning, which I have not made since before being treated for cancer. It consists of egg (of course), small bits of sauteed green onion and mushroom made with the egg, wrapped over fresh tomato slices, fresh avocado slices, bits of bacon, and sour cream. It is something I used to make at least once a month for us, and especially enjoyed. I haven't made it in years because I am primarily vegetarian now.
I was amazed. None of it had any flavor except the bacon sort of did. With the gradual changes due to loss of estrogen, I hadn't realized just how extremely different so many things are now. I wonder if that is why I have less reaction to other things that used to be more intense and motivating!
