Appetizing Muse

I've been sicker than a mutt for the last several days, so I went about looking for some natural remedies as a lark:

• Ask Aunt Nettie: Vegan Cures for Colds (50 KB)

• Hitchhiker's Guide: Prevention & Cures for Colds (92 KB)

• Texas Cooking: Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever (127 KB)

I tried none of the above. Instead, I ate a lot of chicken soup and drank countless cups of tea, and mostly stayed huddled in my bed.

Not wanting the awkward size of a Kleenex box under the covers with me, I chose a roll of soft toilet paper which worked just as well for a leaky nose.

I'm dying for some Mexican or Japanese fare, but I don't think my tummy is ready yet.
