I can't manage the soup, but I've got a couple of Pot Noodles going spare. They always make me feel better. It must be all the chemicals in them, they're like pharmaceutical dinners.
And speaking of buds, I'm in the process of knocking a long-term and heavy daily habit and I've been so... damned... tired... and my left lung feels like it's made of stone. And I feel incredibly liquid inside (and on the way out [thanks for sharing, Hugh, gross]). A couple more days and I'll have the immediate residuals taken care of, then a couple weeks to clean me out. I keep wondering what I'll be like.
Sorry ta hear... I know my mom's matzah ball soup would do just the trick. Alas. She always used ta bring me a big chocolate chip cookie from the deli when I was sick, too. My nose was always plugged, though, and damned if I still don't know what that cookie tastes like. Hope you're feelin' better soon...
And Hugh, did my mermaid misadventures (at Manitobas) help inspire the change? If ya need any matzah ball soup, too, well, the thought is there.
(By the by, I'm psyched -- my comments now work at work! I brought my laptop. Try to get a little writing, as well as "chatting," done.)
I swear by homemade chicken curry soup. I think the curry spices help with the congestion, and the chicken is duly chickeny. I add a lot of sweet potato and carrot cubes for vitaminaliciousness.
