I feel fine, but somewhat confused.
My wife has a terrible cold, though; the first one in the family of the season. She has had miserably blocked sinuses, followed by massive mucous discharges, followed by blocked and painfully swollen sinuses.
Despite the fact that she has blown through three big boxes of tissues during this, she is craving milk and cheese. One would think that having so much foul mucous discharging and hardening in places where one can taste and smell it, that one would begin to reject all mucous, most especially mucous from outside sources. Not the case, here, apparently.
Obviously, milk is generally a relatively fresh mucous excretion from a lactating bovine female and cheese is a fermented mucous excretion from a similarly lactating (Often!) bovine female, processed by being aged for months with specific bacterial colonies encouraged to grow within the mucous, causing it to harden, much like what is going on within my wife's sinuses at present.
There is certainly more to this, but my first thought would be that one who is growing something like cultures of cheese in their own nasal system would reject other forms of mucous and certainly the more advanced fermented mucous products which have been hardened into aromatic blocks of bacterial colonies over months.
I guess I am unready to see the logic in her craving.
