Resting day

I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. You can find the full list of participants over on San’s blog here #nablopomo2023

Tea is medicine

The washing machine is running for the third time today and I am sitting in bed with a nice warm cup of tea. I am tired. It’s not covid apparently but I still don’t like it. Scratchy throat, runny nose and general un-wellness, blah. So I made myself if big batch of hot tea and are waiting for it to get better. If now someone would make me a nice chicken soup I would be well taken care of. That was always mom’s recipe for when we had a cold – tea and soup. It still helps me feel better instantly.

Do you have a family recipe for the cold season? I heard a rumor that drinking a warm beer would help, too. It sounds not that pleasant to me honestly but some people say that medicine only helps if it tastes bad.

Talking about tea – San from the in between is mine is hosting the 8th annual Secret SANta Swap 2023. It used to be a mug swap (and it still can be if you like) and coincidentally this my mug from last year. Isn’t it pretty? So if you want to participate hop over there.

  1. I haven’t had a cold day in over 6 years but I still prefer warm over cold even with 40+ degrees celsius. I relate warm with comfort I guess. I love soups, oatmeal, porridge a lot!

  2. I thought I missed a day, but now I see this post is technically posted on the 12th. Where I am it is still the 11th. Ha. I don’t have a family recipe for a cold. I hope you feel better. That mug is so pretty. I just signed up for San’s Christmas exchange. So fun.

  3. I am sorry you’re sick and I hope the tea (from that pretty mug!) has been helping. I am excited that you’re participating in the swap again and thanks for spreading the word 🙂
