Definitely qualifies for the topic 
…is the bumble bee I almost swallowed. Well, you can’t really see it here, and it isn’t in the can anymore. While I was at the Halloween parade today, I took a swig of Monster, and realized Monster is not supposed to have chunks. I promptly spit that sucker out and was suprised to discover it was a bumble bee on the pavement. I honestly had visions of houseflies at the moment I felt it in my mouth. Of course, I could no longer drink the Monster, as it was contaminated and grossed me out. =)

What food or drink do you love when it’s cold out? (Recipes and recommendations, please!)
Earl Grey Tea to drink. Loaded Baked Potato Soup to eat. Here’s the recipe:
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour; stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Add potatoes and onions. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until soup begins to bubble. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; stir until cheese is melted. Serve baked potato soup immediately.
This baked potato soup recipe serves 6 to 8.
Ick. I have a cold. Nasty, old, drippy cold. I should have known it was coming with how exhausted and run down I have been lately. I have spent the week suffering though headaches, running nose, congestion, and a sore throat. Fun stuff that I am sure no one wants to hear about. =)
I am totally anti-medications though. Herbal is my way to go, just sometimes it takes a little longer. I have never liked how over the counter cold remedies make me feel. They typically make me feel tired and drugged up and I think that is worse than the cold itself. I prefer extra sleep, vitamin C, zinc, and for congestion, a few cups of mullein leaf tea.
I do sometimes wish I was still just a kid though, when having a cold meant staying home from school. My mom would make me a bed on the couch and bundle me up with an afghan. She would give me warm lemon tea and cinnamon toast. =)
How have you fared so far this season? What are your favorite cold remedies, pharmaceutical or otherwise? How have these changed since your childhood?Comment posted by Eol Ruin

I suggest NeoCitran - but no idea if its available in US.More nature - much tea with honey and a very warm blanket …
