Hmmmmm, I did add a touch of garlic to the cucumber salad last night.

Maybe that was it.

Off topic a bit, but I HAVE to chime in with a remedy:

The two worst foods I can possibly have before bed are garlic and cucumbers:

Garlic dries out my throat and sinuses plus gives me the obvious strong mouth odor;

Cumcumber yields a horrendous 'after taste' which lingers for hours and which keeps revisiting.

However I love both dearly.

A remedy for your consideration: A product over the counter I found via the Italian families, called 'brioschi' (spelling is probably suspect here}. At any rate, it would be with the antancids in the pharmacy or grocery, next to Tums. Comes in granules which one pours into a glass of water similar to alka selzer. However, a pleasant,sweet taste, and has always worked wonders for me.
