Hi Dannis, Dinkle here! I had to make an alt to sync my subscriptions, but I am so honored you used my idea. I have been a fan since The Pizzle and have been sending ideas for some time, so happy this one worked out and hope you and Davida feel better soon!
Currently struggling with my own shitty cold in SE Asia, am going to investigate the pharmacy and market to see what havoc I can wreak on my immune system using local ingredients and the microwave in my hotel room. If I survive I'll report back.
Imagine Davida’s face had you used a Riccola instead 😱!
But, reading the intro I just knew you’d use Luden’s because I trust you implicitly. Also when I was a kid I ate them like candy when there was no chocolate X-Lax around.
Ya could’ve gotten fancy and used a candy thermometer, but no Dennis, you are the brave sick warrior, knowledgable about real cough drops, AND the best food writer in the world. Chef’s kiss! 💋
Parents are 100% back to sending kids to school when sick. Even when they know they have an active Covid infection. Remember schools primary purpose is to babysit your children so you can toil at a job you hate.
Also, how many times did you test for Covid? The current tests aren’t as good at picking up an infection. Most people that have summer/fall “colds” actually have Covid but either the test didn’t pick it up or they purposely didn’t test because they want to send their sick kid to school.
We rested once with the new batch from the government that we ordered! Nobody around us has caught any bug and we've recuperated quickly from us so I think we're okay and not spreading anything. I routinely still mask on public transit, which is where I'm closest to people on a regular basis but I'm like the only one it feels like.
The new gov tests are same as old ones. But glad to hear it was a short illness. Also thank you for still masking. It’s such a simple thing to do to keep everyone safe.
I have recently also realized that I can eat cough drops for fun - I have a bag of the Ricola herb ones that I eat occasionally. excellent post, and I hope you feel better soon.
Have you thought about pulverizing the cough drops in a coffee grinder, dampening the grapes with water, dunking them in the cough drop powder, and then freezing them. Works well with regular dry cherry jello. Yummy treat.
Sizzurp on a stick!

We feel a lot better!!!
Delightful post... it even (despite not actually eating any of your cough-drop-covered grapes) made my cold feel better.

Feel better, Kate!!!
Thanks!

It's never occurred to me that anything that's solid but can be melted is essentially room-temperature Magic Shell until this moment.
Sir!
I also play Ballz. I didn't think anyone else played that game but me!!
I got my high score up so high I can't beat it anymore!!!
Same!! Also it kind of loses its luster once all the blocks are teal :( More fun to start over at that point!

Why did you name your cat Scorpion?
His sister's name is Sub-Zero 🤣
