Oh no - I feel a cold coming on. I have had a sore throat all day, so I have been trying to nurse myself back to health. For lunch today I had this:



And a pear:



And some cheese:



After work I went straight to the university to run some more participants.
I just found out this weekend that with only 8 participants ran, I already have results that are statistically significant, and in-fact - highly significant!

(In non-statistical speak, this means that I found "something" of value ... my study has yielded important information that will further the research in the cognitive psychology area).

It is quite uncommon for honours students to find significance in their studies, so I am pretty pumped about it!

With the 4 more people I ran today, the significance should only get stronger :-)

I was at the university from 4:00 - 6:30, so I had a small bowl of mushroom soup to hold me over until dinner:



I also had a cup of "Calm" tea (Chamomile and other herbs) to try and calm my sore throat:



I finally got home around quarter to 7 this evening, and the hubby had made supper!
He made tofu penne (I don't usually eat pasta twice in 1 day - but ahh well).
It was a pesto-like pasta dish, with almonds, herbs, tofu, garlic, and olive oil.






After dinner, in an attempt to load up on vitamins, I made some "ice-cream." I just took some of this frozen fruit:



And added a few tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond breeze ... and blended with my Bamix. Voila:



This sore throat is driving me bonkers! What do you do to calm a sore throat?
I have already drunk tea, gargled salt water, taken vitamin C ... now what?
