Trying to get my strength back after the flu last week, so I fixed a pot roast, potatoes, carrots, and corn and invited my nephew and his daughter to come eat with me.
 
At the mall, in a break in our walk, I consumed a healthy sub full of vegetable, one piece swiss cheese,and a small amount of turkey. Baked chips. Diet soda.

Maybe a little more healthy in two years from now.
 
Take out spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread.

Eat a lot of oranges!

And cayenne pepper will get you back on your feet. I am not kidding!

Just bought a 5 lb crate of mandarin oranges, and I love cayenne pepper. I have never heard that it will help recovery from the flu, but I will certainly try it. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
Well, it doesn't really help with the flu itself, but it does clear the sinuses among other things.

Normally when I am sick, and is unable to make a lot of food-- I just run down the grocery store and buy about a month supply worth of food that had cayenne pepper in them (ie. kimchis, raymun, borscht.) Works everytime with colds and flus.

Yeah, I think the worst part is trying to get over this exhaustion. Walking to the bathroom makes me tired!:giggle: But, I do love Cajun recipes. I'll have to check out the frozen section in the grocery tomorrow.

Oh, yeah. Usually I don't even go down the frozen isle except for ice cream.:giggle: But the thought of having to cook right now makes me too tired to eat!:giggle:
 
went to dinner w/husband and folks and I ordered baked tilapia w/salsa and a double order of broccoli to sub for the side of rice<white> that usually comes w/the fish in that meal, and salad with gaucamole in place of dressing.

jillio:aw:hope u feel better soon!

I only go to the frozen section for ethnic food...

Like frozen flying fish... at a few Caribbean places... and flash-frozen tofu.
 
omg...my ex mother inlaw who was great with home remedies convinced me to snort cayenne pepper. Yes, I was foolish enough to trust her. I was foolish. Did it work? Yes. Very well. Did it hurt? Like napalm to the brain. The headache went away within 5 minutes, the sinuses drained insanely. I really did feel better after it stopped hurting. lol at myself! She was kinda evil, I was sooo stupid. Oh, and the rush was akin to an illegal substance.... it was crazy.

Jillio, hope you feel better soon, and the cayennes are much better taken orally - lol.

Tonights food was rattatouille, steamed white rice and a huge whole wheat roll with a pat of real butter. mmmm
 
I would like to state how much I appreciate individual frozen foods.

Clarence Birdseye was a genius.

On the rare occasions we ate in our home during my childhood, my stepmother would allow me to have a Kids tv dinner. Which was was better that today.

It had two meat courses, like a hamburger and a hotdog and an envelope of chocolate to mix in your milk. Nostalgia.
 
Found an image of a tv dinner of my childhood era.

Actually, I like oysters. But I never can remember...are you supposed to eat them in the months with "r" in them, or not eat them in the months with "r" in them? I always get confused!:P

I....... have no idea :dizzy:
 
I think nowadays... with oysters coming around all over the world, there is no reason for grocery stores to have bad oysters or oysters affected by red tide.
