today's lesson: beware overly tough bread

so, on tuesday i bought a mini-baguette, from which i was going to make some garlic bread.

said mini-baguette proved to be extreeeeeeeeemely chewy and tough, so eating it proved a challenge for my jaw.

wednesday morning, i woke up feeling like i'd had dental surgery the day before.

at lunch on wednesday, i ate out at a fast-food italian place, and was given a chunk of baguette to go with my pasta... and that baguette was also rather chewy.

by last night, my jaw muscles were very sore. so much so that chewing was actually painful.

i ate only soft foods today, and took some NSAIDs, but it's still achy.

no more baguettes for a while.
