I'm down with the flu! it's so bad!

Two days ago, I was fine, then suddenly, my nose felt like flash floods! An avalanche of bodily fluids came rushing literally through the nose!

It must have been one of those damn meetings, where people seem to show up just to make everyone else suffer with their damn flu.

This year I took a flu shot, and I didn't catch anything through the hard days of the winter. And now, on the warmest day in the year and right before the company picnic, I get this!

Anyway, I'm getting better, drinking alot of fluids, make my gourmet soups (try this, start with cream of mushroom, add, chicken broth, cream, garlic, fresh chopped mushrooms, and some salt, pepper and herbs) Microwave on high for 5 minutes and enjoy :)

Opairah: LOL ... insha2allah soon, best way for Mashwi? Ok there isn't one best way there are MANY ways to cook Jaj Mashwi. One I love is:
Rub chicken with Rosemary, olive oil and garlic and some thyme (za3tar, but only a little bit), also rub with hot peppers (Filfil akhdar)
add Salt and pepper as you like.
Put in a baking bag, add big pieces of potatoes, Carrots, Onions and a cup of water (or chicken broth)
Put in a medium heat oven for 1 hour.
Enjoy :)

Linda: Thank you, I'm trying, but frankly I'm getting worse

hey Bassel, that's a common misconception. You get the flu due to a virus. Cold, has nothing to do with it :)

Qwaider .. salamaat ..

the worse part in summer flu is that you cannot seek heat because its already hot .. so instead .. you feel totally ( matboo7' ) .. that’s why .. I find winter flu is more bearable that summer's .. and don't let me start on the gluey feeling during and after starting to getting better .. ahhh ..
anyhow .. if you have a throat ache along with your flu .. here is a good advice – which worked great for me – boil water , slice some ginger roots and soak it in hot water after turning off the heat .. then add some honey and lemon juice then drink it all .. it will taste GREAT .. and take this from a person who does not like ginger taste .. it does taste good ..
this is very good for throat aches ..

Hope you'll get better soon =) ..

Hehehe ... Dana, looks like you're trying to promote your own alternative medicine here :)
My sister's recipe:
Ginger + Cinnamon + Honey + fresh squeezed lemons. Also tastes good

I'm getting High on Vitamin C and Ibiprofin. Seems to work for few hours at least (relieves the symptoms) but now I'm suffering with the phlegm (SUCKS BIG TIME) and starting to hear wheezes during breathing.
I guess I need to get some mucinex too :(

well ..I should say .. this recipe is especially good for phlegm expelling =D (and thats the sticky gluey feeling i was talking about .. enno aghhhhhh)

.. and your sister got it right .. hmmm .. this Cinnamon addition sounds tastey .. should try that out the next time i get a throat ache
