Things to eat when you're sick (like me)

It all depends on whether you have someone else who can cook for you. If your mate is sick as well, or you live alone, then chicken rice soup with canned or frozen home made broth is the best, noodles and pasta in broth are ok too, but small like alphabets, pastina or orzo. Alphabets would be my first choice, harkening back to childhood flu, chicken pox and strep throat. Fond memories indeed....

If you feel like you're going to pass out from the exertion required to cook chicken soup, then yogurt and cereal might work, and ice cream is always good, if you have the strength to dig it out of the container. It might be a good idea to lay down on the sofa for a few minutes between scoops. By the time you get to eat it, it will have melted enough to avoid giving you brain freeze, adding to your torment.
