More sick person food

Because a girl can't live on Saltines alone, no matter how hard she tries!

I am sick. I think I had food poisoning on Friday because I woke up at 4am with awful stomach cramps, and well the rest is too gross for blogging.

I felt a bit better Saturday, but stayed in all day Sunday. But then Monday in the office everyone is a little bit sick. And a little bit sick adds up to one giant sickness.

Everyone seems to have a little sniffle, a wheeze, and a cough. Last night I couldn't sleep because I took too much cold medicine. And today I have the stomach thing again.

I know that I am sick when I can count everything I ate in a day on one hand. I came home after work today and immediately fell into bed for a four hour nap.

Then I got up and steamed a head of cauliflower with some garlic in chicken broth until it was very soft and then pureed it.

It was delicious and hot and hopefully killed the thing in the back of my throat that is itching like crazy and which is the reason I haven't been able to swallow anything thicker than a puree.

Now I am going back to my bed.

I am sick of being sick already. I think tomorrow I am going to be all better.

Sometimes the jam jells. Sometimes it don't.

Tonight I made Peach Somethingorother. It was supposed to be like a kind of peach butter, however I didn't really use a recipe and I think I added a little more sugar than I ought. And then that extra sugar burnt a little, so now it's Peach Burnt Sugar Somethingorother Why am I home on a Saturday night making Peach Burnt Sugar Somethingorother? Well because I have fricking roaring PMS and I am not suited to going out just now. Not only do I have Category 4 PMS, but I have nothing to eat in the house AND I never got around to go food shopping today. Well, I didn't really forget, I was more afraid to go. Afraid that I would erupt in a roiling ugly mess of hormones and tears and melted chocolate and pho all over some poor unsuspecting sod. Sometimes I am like the Incredible Hulk of PMS. It's..... incredible really. Oh, yeah, anyway, back to the Peach Burnt Sugar Somethingorother. My dad brought me some peaches from Gove Farm out in Leominster and I choppped them, cooked th

Breakfast at Toro

I tried to take my Irish friends to Mike's City Diner for breakfast this weekend and I really just should have known better. The problem at Mike's is that even if it's only 6 people waiting, there is some weird optical illusion in that place that makes it looks like 46 people are waiting. We didn't want to wait. And we didn't want to walk. So we had breakfast at Toro . What an excellent second choice. First off the woman who was working our table was absolutely lovely, and second off the food was a pleasant surprise, in that it was delicious and not a giant huge plate of food. There are those who feel that more is better and there are those who feel that less is more. I have a foot in both camps. There is never enough french fries but for the most part I prefer a little deliciousness more frequently than a big plate of something I just really need a taste of. Something like that anyway. I got the huevos rancheros and the corn. Who goes to Toro and doesn

Aggressive coffee.

The Evil Twin got us iced coffees this morning because it's what you do in Boston when the temps are above 40 degrees. Apparently she ordered hers "fucked up with 28 splenda". There is no other explanation. Unless it's "fuck you and your 28 splenda".
