Ouzo(or absinthe if you’re daring) and honey with boiling water also works well, soothes the throat and clears the sinuses a bit
I try to avoid having more than one every 4 or so hours. Getting actually buzzed slows down your recovery time a fair bit even if you feel better in the moment

Hi everyone!
It’s been a little while since our last giveaway here, so wanted to drop by with a new giveaway for y’all on PCMR.
The Drop + The Lord of the Rings Black Speech Keyboard (bit of a mouthful, eh) is a fully-built keyboard featuring the MT3 Black Speech Keycap Set (designed by Matt3o), Holy Panda X switches, and Phantom stabilizers. The case top also features artwork designed by OSHETART depicting the Eye of Sauron atop Barad-dûr. (Don’t be intimidated by the Black Speech legends on the keycaps, they also include latin sub legends for those of us who don’t actually speak the language)

I know it's simple but everytime I feel under the weather I just open a can of chicken noodle soup! The flavor of the broth along side the noodles and some nostalgia from when I was a kid makes this a meal I can't deny when I'm feeling bad

My favorite feel good remedy is when I come home and have my one soda a day. I used to drink soo much soda but now I have one a day, usually when I first sit down to game for the night. Having a chilled glass with ice and pouring the dr.pepper cream soda in the glass is such a satisfying moment for me!

I love Dr. Pepper so much. Kudos for limiting it to one a day, I know that's tough. I only have soda a couple of times a week because I switched over to coffee about 10 years ago.
Since you mentioned the cream soda flavor, did you try the Jurassic World dark berry, and if so, what did you think?

u/wpycushion Mar 29 '23
Not the commenter but I liked the dark berry okay. My favorite is the strawberries and cream flavor though

u/hurl9e9y9 R7-5800X | 32GB | RTX 3080 12GB Mar 29 '23
Oh yeah that one is great. When I was in college I drank a lot of Faygo Red Pop (only 99 cents for a liter). It's like mixing that with Dr Pepper.

"cold salad": peas, diced carrots, sweet corn, ranch sausages and sometimes ham in squares, covered with mayonnaise sauce, the vegetables are sold in the market and i just have to dice some sausages and drizzle it all with mayo, its so easy and tasty and i like to eat it while in bed, it also tastes very nice warm with cold mayo despite it's name, its filling and an easy complete feel good meal overall.

I see a lot of chicken noodle soup, but personally a grilled cheese and tomato soup always was the best. Gives a little more substance for your stomach but is still fairly light and easy to go down.

Concerning Feel-good Remedies:
Well, my feel-good remedy is to pack my pipe with the kindest and most stickiest Longbottom Leaf I can get my hands on. Ignite my fireplace like the fires of Mount Doom. It is to pour myself a drink of sweet tea and honey whisky.
Ding What’s that?- My PO-taY-ToE pot pie calls for me from the kitchen
“ARISE, ARISE!” I say to myself in tandem with King Théoden as the TV plays The Return of the King at a volume unsuitable for any other scene than the Charge of the Rohirrim.
MY PRECIOUS pot pie now at a perfect temperature for consumption. I scurry back to my spot on the couch. My dog eyeing me for a bite… “He wants it for himself”, I think to myself.
I settle into my spot on the couch just in time for the charge in aide to Gondor.
“DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!” I launch PO-taY-ToE out of my mouth like I’m cosplaying Denethor.
Life is good.
