i.e. a cold that's bad enough to make you feel punk but not bad enough to justify staying in bed, so we've been downing gallons of various soups and drinking buckets of grapefruit(me) and orange(he) juices.

The bright spot in all this is that mr beac, who previously felt "meh" about soup, has now decided he LOVES soup, so we'll get to eat it more often even when we are not vexed and virusy.

Interesting! Lucinda Feb 2012 #33

You just have to be sure there's enough moisture. I mix in some V8 for that purposes. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #37
