Sick Day 3
What are these cravings for particular foods during this sickness?
There's a throbbing ache in my temples right above my brow bone and I know it's not migraine, just cold induced pain and my throat isn't scratchy with the proverbial soreness we attribute sore throat with because it's just an overall attack of flu or shock to the body which it's trying to cope up with and perhaps another anti histamine is in order after lunch because it makes me drowsy, oh so sleepy and there I was talking about food cravings.
I want something balmy, not spicy, not pungent, not curry like but more with a viscous, almost thick consistency. Warmly hot, filling and flavoursome without the entire orchestra of piquancy and that is why I'm making a simple chicken soup, the kind that only involves boiling a bone in piece until I have silken broth which is then slightly thickened with ribbons of egg white, a few vegetables and I will add some rice noodles for sustenance, a sprinkling of some black pepper shards should make it just enough spiced and that is all I'm going to eat.
