from where shall i order?
windsor cafe has french onion, split pea, and chicken rice (gross)
cream of mushroom or cream of spinach or tomato would be nice.
sadly, i know there is no matzoh ball in the slope.
suggestions welcome. i am in a red union suit under the covers, shivering. _________________ what would you tell me, if i could hear you speaking?--t.r.

Oh! I am just recovering so I feel your pain. I seem to recall Song was good? Personally, I say you get that BF to buy some excellent sharp cheddar and bread and make you a hot grilled cheese and order a spicy egg fu young or something. _________________ (\__/)

Sorry you're not feeling well...if your apartment was like freezing like mine then no nasty germs could possibly survive!!
Back on topic...tomato soup and grilled cheese sounds sooo good to me right now. i have no suggestions on where to order from, so I'm really of no actual help. Sorry.
EDITED to add that I hope you feel better soon

if i was anywhere near you I would bring you some soup.
I always crave thai food when I'm sick- usually a soup and noodle dish (spicy tofu pad thai!) Wantana rules as you know and thai tony's is open a little later. _________________ whoa hey whoa hey whoa

i'm not a thai tony's fan... too greasy.
i ordered chili and a grilled cheese from windsor cafe. while i would have liked some creamy soup, i couldn't find any. and i trust windsor to get me a nice grilled cheese. _________________ what would you tell me, if i could hear you speaking?--t.r.

In the future when you're sick, print this out and put it in BG's face:
Take two pieces of bread.
Add cheese.
Butter each side of the bread.
Put on frying pan, medium heat.
When brown on each side, remove and put on plate.
It's barely cooking. He can add a can of campbell's tomato soup (preferably with milk, 2% if you prefer) and he's in like flint.

this thread inspired me to make the closest thing I have for a grilled cheese- a quesadilla. It did not scratch the cheese-sammie itch. Thanks a lot, potter. _________________ whoa hey whoa hey whoa

can you give me the medical source for this? and if the source is real, does it count for colds AND everything else or just colds. _________________ what would you tell me, if i could hear you speaking?--t.r.

depends what type of sick. dairy produces mucous, so if you are snotty, don't eat cheese and milk. if boogers are not your issue, go right ahead _________________ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

It just adds to the discomfort. I don't think it creates more mucus, but it lays on top of the mucus you have, thereby making it thicker and uncomfortable and harder to get rid of.

Since I am still drunk from last night I took the time to google it and there are different answers but mainly that yes, dairy causes more mucus - my fave is that "dairy is mucogenic." If you have a stuffed or runny nose or sore throat, stay away from the cheese!!!!!!!

my allergist and my acupuncturist both tell me so. I guess they learned that in training, but I personally cannot cite the source.
I have a lot of sinus problems, so I know from mucous.
This "10 pounds of poison" thing is nothing I ever heard before. _________________ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

Park Cafe on 7th Ave by Union St makes a decent matzoh ball soup. If they added fresh dill it would be killer. I'm also a fan of their grilled cheeses with double bacon. They're one of the few places I've been in all 50 states who make their bacon fresh to order. _________________ "I'm a Chain Belt...that's called the Quart of Blood Technique.

I also thought (and still think) it was Idlewild's.
While we're on the subject, Idlewild, what's a "varmit"?
Affirmative. And one duck egg. _________________ "I'm a Chain Belt...that's called the Quart of Blood Technique. You do that, a quart of blood will drop out of a man's body."
A varmit is a slang term used by farmers, mid westerners and Yosemite Sam for ground hogs/gophers and Bugs Bunny respectively. _________________ "I'm a Chain Belt...that's called the Quart of Blood Technique. You do that, a quart of blood will drop out of a man's body."
Okay! I see what you're talking about. "Varmit Cong" was a line Bill Murray babbled when he was making a gopher out of c-4 explosive in Caddyshack. It was made only five years after we pulled out of Vietnam so it was a humorous line for the time. _________________ "I'm a Chain Belt...that's called the Quart of Blood Technique.

idlewild (a genius and studly 40 something man, with the ability to use a mac) has already quickly and cleverly provided us with a definition. (how's that idlewild?)
I'm betting there would be a bad public reaction if I took one of these out at the Nevins St stop and started killing the plentiful rats. _________________ Hey you! Enlighten up.

Isn't that a "varmint", rather than a "varmit"?
