I'b god a code

So what do I do?

In the past, whenever I had a cold, I treated myself to a large, steaming mug of tea with a teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of sugar.  Without the sugar, I can't quite do the lemon juice.

I'd begin the day with pancakes (or crepes) so that I could swallow down many tablespoons of lovely maple syrup.  Oooooh, that felt good.

Later, I'd make a batch of rice pudding.  With white rice, no less.  I'd cook the white rice and milk until the rice was just about to disintegrate, add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and nutmeg.  I'd throw in a handful of raisins.  Atop each serving I'dd add more raisins, more brown sugar.  Pecans.  Cream. Carbs, carbs, carbs, and cream.

Without carbs I'm drinking plain black tea.  I've had an Airborne (didn't check the carbs on that) and will eat my usual cottage cheese and fruit breakfast.

What else is good to eat when a lo-carb eater has a cold?

Healing is Such Sweet Sorrow....

Huh? Sorry to be healing? Did I say that?

Sad, but true. Now that my stomach is healing - I don't experience any more "stomach-ache" pain and have very little sore throat pain - and I am half-way through treatment, my appetite is back. So I'm hungry.....and can't eat much of anything.

Rice pudding is divine when you're in pain and can't eat anything else.....but once you're feeling better, you begin to wish for things like garlic and lemon and pickles and salsa. Oh, well.

On a happier note, I am down to a single cup of hot tea in the morning and perhaps one more later in the day. I try to make that later one herbal, though. Might as well take advantage of this opportunity to experience life without caffiene. If it's helpful, well, that's the cheapest migraine treatment ever. If it's not helpful, I can pretty easily stop treatment.
