We did the cooking with wine thing tonight. Alex tasted the wine and didn't like it. The chicken came out really excellent. It looked very pale and sickly so I thought it was going to taste awful but it was really moist and yummy. Danielle found a bread machine and made a loaf of bread, and I did asparagus. We had Alex-made walnut brownies with strawberry ice cream for dessert. It was probably like the best dinner I have ever participated in making ever. Why does food cooked here taste so much better than the food cooked in our house? I don't want to go home.
I spoke to Josh about the couch. He said to ask the doorman to get someone to fix it and he will pay for it. His parents know we're here. We didn't ask if friends could come over or if they could bring kittens but it was ONE person. It's not like we threw a party or anything. Josh didn't think his parents would be too upset but he is not going to tell them if the couch can be fixed.

Among other possible reasons, the cigarette smoke, both active and lingering in everything, is screwing with your ability to smell the food in your apartment.
Taste is actually only salty, sweet, sour, and bitter (and some say also savory), and the rest of "taste" is actually smell. If you have a stuffed-up nose, food doesn't taste right. The cigarette stench is surely interfering with your ability to taste through smell.
when my husband quit smoking he said things began to really taste so much better...he never smoked in the house or around us, so it wasn't in the house, but I imagine what ANON above said is true for those who are stuck with second hand smoke, when it's removed you taste b/c you smell better.
Hope the couch things works out.
the food sounds yummy!! ;)
