Ugg, I feel like I’m starting to come down with something. D is just getting over a flu-like thingy, all congestion, coughing, upset stomach & with a touch of fever. I hope I’m not coming down with the same thing as I can ill- (ha, a pun!) afford the time off from work what with all the stuff I need to get done plus an impending business trip next week.

Hopefully, I just overdid it in the sun today. After several drizzly, rainy, gray days, stuck in a cubicle at work, craving sunshine, I spent all day outdoors making the most of the glorious weather and bright blue sky.

But my throat’s getting sore and I’m getting that odd, prickly sensation that often heralds a full fledged cold.

So what do you eat to stave off a cold? I’m not particularly hungry but could really use some ideas. I figure a good hot meal, hot bath and restful night’s sleep should set everything to rights. Here’s what what sounds good though I’m not up for serious cooking tonight:

A spicy Thai Tom Yum Goong sounds really good.

Warm & soothing Indian Dal on rice would be nice too.

I’m always craving fresh fruit. And I’m sure the extra vitamin C would help too.

Any other ideas? I’m at a loss.
