And I don’t mean the weather!! I spent 2 hours this morning crying from every opening in my face as my cold medicine let everything go. It was quite unpleasant. But things cleared up around 12:30 and I decided to bike to the gym to breath in lots of fresh air. My body feels fine – it’s just my nose! It is very blustery out there! At the gym I only did 20 minutes on the Stepmill on a lower level and headed home. Don’t worry, I disinfected the machine very well both before and after I got on.
I got home at 2pm and showered. I don’t have much of an appetite today, but I could tell that I was pretty hungry deep down. Since I haven’t been grocery shopping, my choices were hard-boiled egg salad sandwich or canned/boxed/frozen soup. I decided on a chicken-y soup for my cold.
I got these Pacific soups on sale a few weeks ago and my hope was that they would be less “canned soupy” because Pacific boxed soups are so awesome. I’d give this guy a B+. It was good, but not great. I could have done without the slimy gross onions, but finding an onion-free soup is impossible. I probably wouldn’t buy this again, but I did enjoy it and it was much better than lots of other canned soups I’ve had in my lifetime. I did need some spice though!
I also had a piece of toast drizzled with olive oil
And a huuuuuge grapefruit
I am off to run a fun shopping errand and will be back to take a nap and get ready to head uptown where our date night is taking place! See you all in 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It needed spice because you took the onions out! 😉 My favorite canned soup is Amy’s Tomato Bisque – yum, yum, yum! Hope your nose feels better soon!

Have fun shopping!!! Too bad about the soup.
Heather McD (heather eats almond butter) says
Have fun tonight. Hope you are feeling better soon 🙂
Amy says
I think that the chicken & sausage one is much better – & the spicy chicken fajita is good, too. (My friend’s husband is the soup inventor – R&D is probably what it’s really called – for Pacific Natural, and he invented most of their canned soups. 🙂
K says
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE BOTH OF YOU!!

Sorry to hear you are under the weather! (or your nose, at least!) I had the same thing happen to me and I think continuing exercise REALLY helped it out. Glad the soup was good, I just bought it on sale too, but am wary of canned soup!
P.S. Have you heard the Deathcab for Cutie song called “Kath”? It makes me think of you!
Kath says
