Ah-Choo!
Posting in advance because I have a cold. Hoping to head out early tomorrow and get lotion-bearing facial tissue, zinc pills (and/or Zycam) and fresh donuts. 'Cos it might not help but it can't hurt.
I made lazy chicken soup last night: a big jar of fancy vegetable soup, a small container of chicken stock and a cooked chicken breast. It's not home-cooked but it holds up well after simmering with some added spices.
Fresh Market carries two different brands of soup-in-a-glass-jar. It's not cheap but it's worth the price.
My favorite, and most effective remedy, is bed rest with aspirin and frequent doses of peach brandy, applied orally. Helps with the scratchy throat, aids sleep, and generally kills most of the pain and discomfort.
My dosage is generally a pint a day, but that varies with the individual.
I am almost certain that you can blame you cold on climate change and the new president. They are the most obvious targets and are certainly responsible for every bad thing going on right now. Chicken soup and alcohol along with zinc are the only hope for mankind. Aspirin and as much rest as you can get wouldn't hurt,either. Good luck, and get well.

Don't forget the chicken soup. I have an easy egg drop soup recipe that I recently mastered.

Well, it's a known scientific fact that alcohol kills germs.

Get well soon,

Hope it's mild and short lived.
ReplyDeleteDarlin' Daughter had it last weekend, CINCHOUSE looks to be in the early phases, so I assume I'm next.
I actually prefer tomato soup when I'm sick, but won't turn down chicken if it's easily available.
