I have an upper respitory infection says the doctor...What I say is my
throat don't work and I can barely talk or swallow plus a fever.

So I am to drink warm fluids.

I found that some toasted dried minced onion nuked in plain old boxed
chicken stock is quite tasty....

I may gather my strength and get to a supermarket later today...a Hall's
medicated lozenge and kleenex run...Any other thoughts on warm fluids would
be appreciated.

Ok, seriously...

This is my hot buttered rum recipe that makes me feel a lot better, and
it's not just the rum.

Celestial Seasonings tea is inexpensive. Pick up the "Bengal Spice"
flavor. It's got cinnamon, cloves, etc.

Brew that up double strength.

To two cups (16 oz) of that, add the juice of 1/4 lemon, 1 pat of
butter, one tablespoon of honey, and 1 (or 2) shots of Myers dark rum
according to your personal preference.

Sip it slowly. It's very soothing!

Wrap up in a blanket, relax with a movie or a book and enjoy. :-)

Hope you feel better!

For soup, chicken stock made with chicken wings, fresh grated ginger
root, chopped celery, LOTS of onion and fresh garlic...

if you feel like cooking at all. :-(

One other thing that works well for me (and I do use it if I don't feel
like cooking!) is Hot and Sour soup from the local chinese take out. The
hot pepper and vinegar it contains feels soooooo good on a raw throat!
Clears the sinuses too.

Cheers dear!

I just got over a similar thing, Mr. Libido. I suffered for 2 months;
laryngitis, staph infection, bronchitis, green eye and nose globbers.... you
know what knocked it out of me? Two hot toddys at night, only needed for 2
days. 1 part whisky, 1 squirt of lemon, a decent squirt of honey and about
4 parts water, heated to where you can stand it, in a coffee cup. Two of
those knocked me out, let me sleep, and within a couple of days it was gone.

Old-fashioned remedies work.

Green tea.

Gargle with salt water, it'll help that throat.

Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger tea with a little honey. The lemon
balances the sweetness of the honey. Great stuff. No caffeine.

I'm so sorry you're sick, Alan. I agree with the above advice, I get
the Mandarin Orange, but whatever flavor suits you. The honey helps.
Make sure you still have your chicken broth for nourishment.

It's why I suggested something similar... only I think mine tastes
better. <G>

All great advice...except recieved after the trip. I got more chicken
broth some kleenex and some lipton chicken noodle soup a childhood
favourite when ill...Just found out I don't care for it now though after
the first bowlful in ages. Perhaps I had forgotten that I tried and
discarded it years earlier? Oh well....in about 2 hours after a nap I'll
spatchcock a chicken for supper. Maybe chinese wonton soup...the chinese
restaruant down the street opens in a while. Oh joy another trip
outside...

Keep slamming all that salt and you'll be drinking plenty. Are you trying to
kill yourself? :-)

I don't know if a toddy does anything about curing a cold but it
certainly makes it more tolerable. I also find that such a hot
toddy tends to induce sleep which isn't such a bad thing either!

Try Hot and Sour soup. That will open you right up!! It's wonderful
when you are sick with a cold.

That would require a trip to the bank for money so I could pay for it....an

If you like it, which I don't...well I don't despise it; but tastewise
would prefer the wonton.

Well, you hit on the soup that makes me feel better. Wonton soup from my
favorite chinese restaurant. I say go with that. Even just sipping the
broth from around the wontons just makes a sick person feel better.

Strong black tea and raspberry jam. Sip a bit of tea; eat a spoonful of
jam; repeat often.

Hot lemon. Boil water, mix with some freshly-pressed lemon juice and
some sugar.

Well I just took the spatchcocked chicken out of the oven ; cut it into 2
portions bagged it and put directly in the fridge...seems I won't be
eating tonight so sayeth my tummie. On the improve my appetite front
(curse you nanners!) my Lidia's Italian Table cookbook came in today's
mail. So that should help make me want to eat later. Plus I now have
something to read (Yay!!Entertainment)...hope the book doesn't damage my
nose when I fall asleep reading it.

Warm water to drink casually and gargle some with salt when inclined.

I am in process of having some dental implants installed. It's
not the first time and, for reasons I won't detail, I am on a
"soft diet" for about a week. Suggested foods are soups,
yoghurt, jello, soft-boiled eggs and mashed potatoes and this I
remember from the last time got old very quickly. Can anyone
suggest other foods that might add a little interest?

Consider Hummus or Ful Medames along with pita. Pita to hard go with
wonder bread.

That old standby soup in the chinese restaurants...Beef Broth with cooked
rice in it.

Thick slices of bread to sop up soup. Chicken, egg or potato salad eaten
with a spoon

Thanks for the solutions so far! Sweet foods are not as big a
problem as savory since I like almost all flavored yoghurts,
ice-creams and sherberts. Greek style yoghurt with jams or
preserves stirred in is another possibility.

You can do a _lot_ with soups. :-)

You can also puree a number of veggies.

Sweet potatoes and carrots come to mind.

What about those meal replacement shakes? (Optifast??)

That way you get all the nutrition you need, and lose weight at the same
time :-)

Mashed spuds, with butter, and cream or milk and then whipped with a
long-pronged fork.

boil bits of peeled garlic with the spuds, and mash them, then whip with
milk. To make it nice and soft.

There are some that have soups, and coffee flavours as well. Might be
worth looking into and maybe having a couple of times a day...... at
least that way you get your nutritional requirements.

Get well soon!

Grandson had the "sickaphies" (sympathetic illness) tonight and fell
asleep on the couch 30 minutes after he came home.

I think it worked because you were exhausted and you were finally able
to get some rest. I know from pure experience that if you allow
yourself to rest (go practically comatose in terms of hours of sleep,
if you have to) - you can beat off most "bugs". I'm a weekend
warrior, so I haven't taken a sick day off (for illness) since *way*
before June of last year. Don't ask me how many weekends have been
spent mostly sleeping (too many - I haven't counted them).

What has surprised me lately is that the last few weekends have *not*
been spent recovering from the week before. So either I'm healthier
over all, or I've built up an immunity to the germs in my work
environment lately.

Add honey to the tea.

Tea with honey and lemon was a panacea when I was a kid. As an adult,
honey and hot tea is good enough for me.

Thanks, I haven't see them but I will continue looking. One idea
for breakfast (I know it is not savory) is to process a banana,
a teaspoon of sugar, half a cup of All-Bran and half a cup of
yoghurt (preferably Greek). Perhaps I'm weird but I like
All-Bran and the recipe gives nearly half a day's fiber
requirement.

You need some Tom Kha Kai, that'll cure what ails you! 'Tis my
favorite cold "medicine". This recipe is from the late Colonel Ian
Khuntilanont-Philpot - remember him? God rest his soul.

Tom Kha Kai - Chicken soup with coconut milk
http://www.users.bigpond.com/catch22...tml#alphaindex

This is a mild but spicy chicken soup (it can also be made with
shrimp, pork, beef or mushrooms)

Ingredients:

16 fluid ounces soup broth (chicken stock) or water
2 kaffir lime leaves, rolled to crack them to release the flavour, but
otherwise intact
2 inch piece lemon grass, bruised to release flavour
1 in cube galangal ("kha") sliced thinly.
4 tablespoon fish sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice (or to taste)
4 oz chicken breast cut into smallish bite sized pieces
5 fluid ounces coconut milk
*? small red chilies, slightly crushed.
coriander (cilantro) leaves to garnish.
Note:* the number of red chilies is a personal choice. It can be as
few as half a chili per diner, to as many as 8-10 per diner, but the
dish should retain a balance of flavours and not be overwhelmed by the
chilies. Personally I would suggest about 8-12 chilies for this
recipe.

Method: Heat the stock, add the lime leaves, lemon grass, galangal,
fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly, bring to a boil, add the
chicken and coconut milk, bring back to the boil, lower the heat to
keep it simmering and cook for about 2 minutes (until the chicken is
cooked through). serve: Not really intended to be eaten as a separate
course, you could serve it with just a serving of steamed white
(jasmine) rice, or together with a Thai meal. This quantity serves 4
with other food, but is probably only enough for two if eaten
separately.(cikp)
