The Ideal Menu . . . for Someone with a Cold

Apple

this is a no-brainer, because we all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Although, when you can't breathe through your nose, it would be wise to eat it when no one else is around. It makes a lot of noise when you're chewing with your mouth slightly open to let in air.

Orange Juice

Vitamin C, baby! You can't really taste anything with a cold, but orange juice leaves a nice clean feeling in the back of your throat. It's kind of like orange-scented Mr. Clean, only for your mouth instead of the kitchen floor.

Pretzels

In all the period dramas I've seen, they always talk about sea-bathing and how it's good for your health. Well, seas are bodies of saltwater. You don't hear about lake or pond bathing, because they are freshwater sources. So it stands to reason that the saltwater is the important part of the equation. Saltwater has . . . salt in it. Pretzels are covered with salt. Therefore, eating pretzels is good for the health.

Chocolate Pudding

I actually don't know how this is good for you, but it tastes yummy. And you can dip your apples and pretzels into it. So it's a win-win. win. Comfort food! That's it. When you're sick you have to be comfortable. So go with the chocolate pudding.

That's what's on the menu!
