Tummy woes

So, I made the garlic soup last night.  It was glorious, though not as pretty as Smitten Kitten's.

M thought it was far too garlicy, which is sad.  I did, more or less, follow the instructions.  I may have added a cup of cream instead of a half.  AND, I used the last of the goose stock (instead of chicken).  Sad, but tastey.  Can't wait for more goose next year--too bad it's so expensive.  I was afraid that the goose would be overpowering (it was a little) but the garlic builds up as you eat it.  The end result was a thick soup that was almost a fondue--I ate three bowls and half a loaf of bread.  This would be great as an appetizer to a steak or similar meal, I think.

I kind of stink.

The one weird thing is that it seemed to have irritated the back of my throat.  I'm not sure if I had a dry throat or what--my nose has been really dry from all the cold, maybe my sinuses are messed up.  I hope to all goodness I'm not developing a garlic allergy.  My--digestive system, shall we say--is somewhat sensitive, and seems to be acting up today.  I'm not sure if it was the less than healthy food I've been eating for dinner (possibly combined with the high fiber lunches I've been having to kind of stave that off) or what.  I'm afraid that it may have been irritated by the garlic, if it was irritating my throat.  In other words, if you're on a bland diet--I don't think this counts.
