I'm sorry to hear this. Especially the taste and smell part. Remember, babies that cough sound worse than it is, usually. They don't have sinuses yet, so it goes straight from the nose to the throat.

That's just what I was always told by the Navy docs when my kids were little. I tried to find a source for you and the only understandable one was one of the google search questions and it wouldn't copy/paste. It said sinuses are fully formed around 14 years. When babies are born, they have very small sinus cavities. |

joinca User ID: 69914580 United States 11/21/2020 06:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That sounds perfect KickinIt. I’m going to keep that in mind for next year. I was happy to find something different. What sides are ya makin? Quoting: Isis One Traditional sides - stuffing, mashed potatoes/gravy, fresh cranberries, green bean casserole and Thanksgiving slaw. I decided to make a different dessert this year that's easy to scale back, since it's just 2 of us. I'm making individual pumpkin cheesecakes w/gingersnap crust using muffin tins. Here's the slaw recipe in case you or anyone else is interested. I think I shared this here last year. It was a new item last Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It's yummy, and the cold/crisp aspect was a nice addition. [link to www.thekitchn.com (secure)] Your dessert sounds delicious! So doesn't that slaw. I might try that this year. :) Shit is a big mess right now here. My youngest sister who just had the baby is sick. Cold symptoms so no big deal, but she's completely lost her taste and smell. Her taste/smell disappeared yesterday but she's had the cold symptoms for a few days. She got tested yesterday, as well as her husband and also my parents because they babysit and have obviously had contact with the baby and my sister. The baby is now sick too. They brought him to the doctor today and the doctor said his lungs sound good but they tested him too. My parents usually host Thanksgiving dinner, but it's not looking like that's gonna work out. Luckily we bought a turkey just in case something like this happened last minute. So we'll have dinner at home if any of them come back positive. I'm pretty sure my sister has it. :\ So sorry to hear this Simple, Best thought and wishes for you and your family. That stuff sneaks up out of no where and when you least expect it.

A bit more concerned about the baby possibly having it as he doesn't exactly have an immune system yet. My sister smothers him in kisses all of the time (except for now sadly) so if she has it... :\ ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

I need a good gravy recipe! :) You don't need a recipe for turkey gravy,,it's a process. In the morning put the neck, giblets etc, in a pan with a carton chicken broth and couple cups water. Add couple carrots, couple celery stalks and couple onions...boil, then low simmer, covered for the morning hours. Strain the liquid to a blender picher,,discard veggies, cut giblets, and pick meat from neck, carefully, careful of small bones. Add these bits to blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Save your mashed potato boiling water for gravy. Remove turkey to platter, rest under foil or in warm oven. Pour out any excess fat, leave some for taste, your call. Add giblet mix and some of the potato water to the pan. Whisk in 1/3 cup flour to some of the potato water., add to pan Bring to boil. Add salt / pepper. Now, add 2 teaspoons granular CHICKEN bouillon. Stir, taste,more bouillon, taste Ask for another taster, more salt ? pepper? bouillon? If you want it thicker, add couple tablespoons flour whisked into 1/4 cup COLD water, add to gravy. Thinner? Add more chicken broth or potato water.

Simple27 (OP) User ID: 79182678 United States 11/21/2020 09:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BRIGHTENING COMET ERASMUS: Every 2000 years, Comet Erasmus (C/2020 S3) visits the inner Solar System. News Flash: It's back. Discovered on Sept. 17, 2020, by South African astronomer Nicolas Erasmus, the dirty snowball is plunging toward the sun for a close encounter inside the orbit of Mercury on Dec. 12th. This is what it looks like: https://imgur.com/RQGoMP1 Gerald Rhemann took the picture Friday morning, Nov. 20th, using a 12-inch telescope in Farm Tivoli, Namibia. "The tail is magnificent," he says. "In fact, I couldn't fit it in a single field of view. This two-panel composite shows the first 3 degrees--and it keeps going well past the edge of the photo." Comet Erasmus is brightening as it approaches the sun. Right now it is 7th magnitude--an easy target for backyard telescopes. Forecasters believe it will more than triple in brightness to 5th magnitude by the time it dips inside the orbit of Mercury next month. Only the glare of the nearby sun will prevent it from being visible to the naked eye. Where should you look? If you can find Venus, you can find the comet. Look low and southeast before sunrise. Comet Erasmus is in the constellation Hydra just to the right of Venus in neighboring Virgo. The bright star Spica is nearby, too, providing another useful reference point.
