What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....

Hi! I love my mother's arrozcaldo too. I think it's the yummiest ever. Cold, rainy days leave me craving for that even if I'm not sick.

I'm not familiar with arrozcaldo, will have to look that up, but since arroz means rice some kind of rice dish then???

arroz caldo is a rice dish with chicken and ginger. it is so soft and yummy. when one is sick and hard to swallow food this food is usually given. it varies how this food is being prepared. if your not too familiar with it try to search it in google. better try cooking one its really nice.

That's weird I never recall seeing Heinz soup...didn't even know they made soup...ketchup yes, soup no...LOL

Hi Pyewacket. Heinz in England is a really popular ready to heat soup whereas Campbell is in condensed tins and is eccellent for making pasta sauces with too. Huggles. Ellie:D

I hear curry is supposed to be good for congestion...ginger too. Mmmm...maybe I'll fix up a chicken dinner tonight and add some curry to it..

I love to Campbells Chicken Noodle soup when I am sick. Seems to brake up all the mucus and yuckiness. I also like to eat fried onions and garlic which also seems to help me feel better to.

Ginger is awesome too yes..I had a 'friend' who always drank Ginger Brandy for illnesses and beer just because LOL Pye..hope you are feeling well now..Love and Hugs xoxox

Nuts now I'm hungry for those buttered buns and jam doughnuts..LOL...yup, I realize I should eat more fruits too, but if I want a sweet snacks will grab something chocolatey..

Yum--I love mushroom soup too---I use that kind of soup a lot as a quick gravy type sauce for chicken and rice dinners

yes, that is yummy too! have been using it for some of my beef and chicken dishes too.
lovelots..faith

LOL--I went out today and got some brandy so I can add it to my tea later on before I go to bed....that was one of my great-grandmother's remedies...tea/lemon/honey and a healthy shot of brandy

That Jollibee's macaroni soup sounds good...I looked it up...I guess it's not sold here though since I've never heard of it before

What stuff did the teacher invent? Some kind of special remedy?

I believe it's called Air-Borne as he deals with all of the children in classes coming in with colds and being sick. He is a biology teacher and came up with this to use to stop how severe a cold or flu is and it drops the time to half of the time being sick.
It does work the key is to use it at the first onset of knowing you are getting sick.
I have a couple of different one sin the cabinet.

pye since you are so sick if you have or can get your hands on a vicks vaporizer, mister ...the one you put medicine in like vicks vaporizer medicine in. Fix up a tent over your bed and out that under it on a table next to your bed. Stay there letting that break up the congestion and the medicine go into your body.
this is what my husband and son do for me when I am sick like that.
It really does help. Also take your medicines(herbs) that you have been, don't stop them as it may shock your body to abruptly stop something that will help you.

I sometimes just do a "makeshift" vaporizer just by boiling hot water, pour the water into a bowl, then add the vicks vaporub stuff..or for a quick fix just open up the jar and inhale the rub...LOL

rub it on your chest and upper back (where your lungs are) and take your meds and cover up real good. Keeping covered after putting on the vicks. That is a good things for a quick fix, what you do. But the tent will help you sleep better during the night.

Wow I have to admit I haven't made a good hearty stew in ages...next time I do some grocery shopping I'll have to get the fixings for it.

8 hours??? Gee, what kind of soup do you make that takes so long....when I make chicken soup it only takes me about three or four hours...hey...I'll get on my Nimbus 2000 broom and fly over to your place to pick up some of that soup of yours..LOL Speaking of depression..chocolate is good for depression you know. I really don't overindulge too much on sweets in general since I have a blood sugar problem...if I eat too much I feel like I'm in a stupor or something
