Sorry for the silence, dear readers. Between the Thanksgiving holiday, various tasks around the homestead, and apparently a case of the "blahs" (tired, listless, achy) which might indicate I'm coming down with something, I haven't had the energy to post anything.
So, until I get my act together, please enjoy this outdoor rendition of "Carol of the Bells," modern edition (click HERE).
It maybe the season but you're the 3rd or 4th blogger that has mentioned feeling poorly recently.
ReplyDeleteCan I humbly suggest whole chicken carcass soup with veggies and pasta of choice (I generally roast the bird, take off a couple of meals worth of meat and then boil the carcass with plenty of meat on it for stock).
Let stock cool, skim off most fat, I like some fat as it's a nice flavor. Add the other ingredients cook well.
Now the ingredient my Korean KATUSA's used to save me from a "I wanna DIE" flu. A couple of heaping tablespoons of live culture Kimchee to my bowl just before I eat it. Don't cook the Kimchee, its live culture and garlic-peppers to the rescue.
WARNING, you will Need a Lot of nose wipes, I use dampened paper towels as it's better to keep red nose away when blowing so often.
This is my GO-TO soup whenever I'm feeling a little low or off and even though I work in the hospital where sick folks go, I've worked through Avian Flu, COVID, H1N1 and many bad flu years with almost no down time.
Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.

Get better soon friend, your critters need you :-)
