When I got back from Lake Powell this week, I caught a feisty little head cold that left me feeling tired and stuffy. Being sick when it’s warm out is the WORST. You feel so icky. You feel like poop. I needed to sweat out the sickness, so after a mid-morning appointment in the Valley, I headed to Sapp Coffee Shop and sunk into a corner seat to slurp up a fortifying bowl of Thai boat noodles. The hot, spicy, sweet and sour soup filled my belly and helped ease my congestion. Later that evening, I continued on with the soup remedies, hitting up Keungama for a nourishing bowl of Korean samgyetang, or ginseng chicken soup, consisting of a whole young chicken stuffed with glutinous rice and jujubes in a ginseng, garlic and ginger broth. My “souped” up self felt much better the next day.
