Sacratomato Soup

Let me tell you, when you’re sick and have an ache-level that is measured by the degrees at which your spine is trying to rip free of your body it helps to have a spouse who is willing to run to the store to retrieve things for you. 

Sacratomato Soup

A reliable source has informed me that this soup contains both pixie dust and antibiotics which explains its ability to cure everything from a summer cold to an advanced case of Ebola. Last night I was prepared to give my left arm for this particular soup and my husband was prepared to sacrifice the rest of my body to shut me up. So he ran out and grabbed it for me and I pretended not to notice that he’d spiked it with NyQuil.

Such is the stuff our marriage is made of.

Nothing like a warm bowl of comforting soup and a Nyquil chaser to make one feel loved. Who doesn’t love tomato soup? Oh wait! I don’t. ;-)

Hope your feeling better today.

OMG. I LOVE this soup. Our Safeway carries a house brand of it.

I REALLY try to ignore the Fat content on the label. Right before I eat 3 servings.

Sorry you’re under the weather. What does your TB doctor say about your NyQuil-spiking husband?

Good health to you.

NyQuill or cheesecake cures everything. Tomato soup sucks.

Kiddo, tomato soup, in whatever incarnation, is just wrong. I’m sorry. That’s communist.
Cheese soup. You need cheese soup.

My “cure” is French Onion, although I must say, that’s the most delicious looking Tomato Soup I’ve ever seen. Hmm.. wonder if they carry those here in the land of enchantment…

i just stumbled upon your blog via a friend’s who has linked to you, and i wish to let you know i have thoroughly (thoroughly!) enjoyed my visit and will return.

i do not have any helpful advice for you regarding other helpful remedies when sick and aching, though i’m immensely thankful to your husband for giving me the nyquil spiking idea. i’m not going to use this idea on my own spouse, though…i plan to use it on my mother, the next time she goes ass crazy on me.

this will probably happen within the next 48-72 hours; she’s on a regular schedule when it comes to ass crazy. i’ll let you know the results, if you’re interested.

feel better :-)
