I have been sick for the past 10 days. I'm tired of it and ready to move on to health. So what is holding me down and back? I've been wishing for a grilled, Velveeta cheese sandwich and a can of cream-of-tomato soup.Ahhhh!!! I still believe in magic and the healing power of imagining the right foods.
When I was a kid, mom would bring to my sick bed anything I wanted and could hold onto without upchucking. Egg nog, ice cream, homemade potato soup made with onions and celery, and with cheese floating on the top and saltines on the side. And my absolute, all-time favorite: jelly bread! No skimping on the corners and one slice should be an end piece. Thank you.
My choices here are rice, corn grits, fish, chicken and pork. I'm losing weight for lack of grilled cheese and jelly bread, hot soup and a one pound bag of Pennsylvania Dutch, sour-dough pretzels. How can life be so unfair? I miss my mommy.
