Dry mouth?

For a while there I was waking in the night with a painful pinching sensation where my mouth had dried out. I looked around for a solution and found XyliMelts tablets. One side adheres to a tooth, to prevent choking on it during the night. The tablets release a moisturizing ingredient all night long. The flavor is mild and pleasant. They are available in mint and in mint free.

Since using XyliMelt, I’ve slept all night, never waking with painful dry mouth.

My local store doesn’t carry them; I bought them on Amazon.

That drawer under the oven

Who knew? On some ovens, that drawer I’ve been keeping baking dishes in is intended for keeping food warm. They keep one dish warm while the others finish cooking, or to keep the whole dinner warm if there’s a delay in sitting down to eat. They don’t cook food, just keep it warm at around 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not all drawers under the oven are designed to do that. The owners manual will say.
