Sick Day(s), Quick Soup

by Kayla K on March 3, 2010

I am sick.

Yuck.  Sore throat, fever, running nose, achy, the whole bit.  I left class early today and stopped for “sick supplies.”

  • Generic DayQuil/NyQuil
  • Generic Tylenol
  • Generic Gatorade
  • Ricola- straight up.

For a grand total of $17.45.  That’s more than I spent on groceries last week!

Not to complain.

I’m totally complaining.

Why can’t colds/flu/whatever coincide with snow storms?  On months when you don’t need your work shifts?  On weeks when course portfolios aren’t due?

“Sick” is never convenient, but I have something that is:

Egg Drop Soup!

Remember the meals I had planned for this week? Scratch that!  I’m sticking to quick, simple, comfort food.

I am quite lazy feeling today and took no pictures and wrote no directions, so I’ll point you to the tutorial at Iowa Girl Eats.

In my bowl:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 vegan herb & sea salt bouillon cube
  • 2 diced carrots
  • Chopped broccoli
  • 2 sliced egg roll wrappers
  • 2 scrambled eggs
  • Soy sauce

This is just the stuff to eat when you don’t feel like eating anything, but tasty enough for not-sick days too, and ready in five minutes!

I’m off to get haucked up on NyQuil and take a long, peaceful sleep.  Hopefully when you’re reading this, set to post at 8:00 am, I will still be sleeping.  Hopefully.

Question: What’s your “get well soon” secret?

Kayla,
I hope you get better soon! It is absolutely too nice out to be sick today. Drink lots of fluids!
