For a week or two I have been battling this cough and believe me when I say it hasn't been fun. It's one of those coughs that shakes your body so hard, you swear that you are cracking a few ribs. So hard that (excuse me) it will bring back up whatever you happen to eat at your last meal. I cannot believe that anybody could cough that hard but from what I've heard, granddaughter Izzy, had the same thing a while back. This is a cough that laughs in the face of prescription strength cough medicine. Cough drops....nothing!! Musinex DM held it at bay for a while but even those little green rumba dancers (from the T.V. commercial) were not a match for it. And just when you think you have it under control and a smile starts to appear on your face.....BAM! It's back! Well last night after not being able to fall asleep and stay asleep along with coughing back up all medications and cough medicine, I threw caution to the wind and went for the Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream snuggled in the freezer. And not your low-cal, low-fat variety...I went for the hard-core variety! I ripped off the cover, dug threw the drawer for a spoon and dug in. As the first spoonful of the cool delicious confection slid down my throat, I FINALLY felt relief. Ahhhhhhh! So, I just kept right on going. Sorry Weight Watchers but desperate times call for desperate measures and I didn't look back once! As for eating it right out of the carton, life did not come to an end. Besides, I'm a firm believer that ice cream is meant to be eaten right out of the carton as chips of any kind are to be eaten right out of the bag; doesn't everyone know that??
Anyhow, after eating a good amount of the ice cream, I threw it back in the freezer, the spoon in the sink and quick jumped into bed while my throat was still cool and not threatening to start hacking again. Off to dreamland I went and actually caught a good 5 hours of sleep! Unfortunately the cough is still with us but I still have some ice cream left for tonight and I have my spoon ready!
No need for name brand ice cream....the Roundy's worked just fine at 1/2 the price! Actually, it was even cheaper than the prescription strength cough medicine.
