From chicken noodle soup to congee, no matter what cuisine or culture, what do you eat when you're sick? Since everyone around me is getting ill, I'm looking to expand my "sick food" recipes for drop off. Bonus points if it's easy on digestion and will keep in the fridge/freezer for awhile.
Chicken congee is my go to because it's simple and can easily be dressed up or down.
Thanks for all the replies! I love learning about different food (and beverages) so I hope you find something new to try yourselves.

I'm about to start my first ever job as a Software Engineer. I'm terrified about losing it in a layoff.

I wanted to be a SWE ever since I was a young kid, and now after a undergrad + masters degree I was one of the first people in my batch to get a job. I just moved to a new country for my first job and I love it here already, it just feels sad imagining if I do get laid off and I'd have to go back to where I was doing my Masters (and even that would be limited time visa before I have to go back to my very under-developed home country). I do want to just mentally let go of the anxiety and just focus on performing good at my job but with all the recent layoffs it feels hard, my own company laid off a lot of people last year and because of that their glassdoor rating is kindof bad. I've been spiralling a bit just reading the glassdoor reviews of people blaming the management of uprooting their lives. Other people who changed cities or countries and were left jobless and were trying to navigate in a extremely bureucratic environment.
I have a 6 month probation in which I can be laid off pretty quickly, I just need to learn to not worry about the stuff I can't control.

Hey y'all, I was wondering if anyone had any advice/warnings/comments/thoughts/etc. about an anniversary trip (10 years!) my partner and I are planning for late May. For context, I have been to the UK before a few years back but my partner has not. Also, I'm American and I've never driven anywhere but the US. This is the rough and very basic itinerary:
Day 0: Edinburgh
- Land in Edinburgh
- Check in to hotel
- Wander around the city
Day 1: Edinburgh
- Rent car
- Drive to St. Andrews
- Drive around in the Scottish Highlands
Day 2: Edinburgh > Redmire
- Drive south to a bed and breakfast in Redmire
- Check out the English countryside
Day 3: Redmire > Manchester
- Drive to Manchester
- Turn in car
- Check in to hotel
Day 4: Manchester > Bath
- Take a train to Bath
- Wander around Bath
- Stay at bed and breakfast
Day 5: Bath > London
- Take train to London
- Check in to hotel
- Do touristy things
- Eat a lot of food
Day 6: London
- Anniversary dinner
Day 7: London
- Wander around
- Eat a lot of food
Day 8: London
- Depart from Heathrow
I fully intend to add plan out the details and activities as we get closer, though I would be grateful for any recommendations for things to do or places to see. It's my partner's real first time out of the country and given it's an anniversary trip I wanted it to be mostly relaxed.
The first half or so of the trip is predicated on me, an American who drives on the right, driving good distances in the UK. I've plenty of experience doing long distance driving in the US, it's mostly the driving on the opposite side that concerns me. Is this recommended? Would it be better to just use rideshares or transit in the cities and take trains over the longer stretches between instead of a mini-roadtrip? Thanks y'all!
EDIT:
Thank you everyone for your thoughtful responses! I will try to get to as many as I can as soon as I can!20 votes -
