An interlude with chicken stock

Perhaps if I tell you what I have eaten since last Thursday you shall have a little insight into my absence around here and how I have been spending my last week of summer vacation.

Thursday: Chicken stock, sweated scallion, cayenne pepper and pastina
Friday: Chicken Stock, sweated scallion, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, sesame oil, hot chile oil and a few pieces of peking Duck leftover with pastina
Saturday: Annie's mac and cheese, made for me by husband
Sunday: Chicken stock, Aleppo pepper, pastina, Parmigiano Reggiano
Monday: Hot Dog with sauerkraut - Hey it's labor day!
Tuesday: chicken soup with matzo balls (lunch - Jewish penicillin), chicken stock and tortellini (dinner - Italian penicillin) all supplemented with Amoxicillin and Robitussin with Codeine (yum!)

I long to have both my taste buds and the ability to swallow back soon!

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care, Jo.

Robitussin with Codeine mixes very well with vodka. At least that's what I've heard... :-)

I love pastina, my Italian grandmother used to cook it simply in well seasoned water, and set in about a cup of cold milk. Odd as it sounds, it was (and still is) a not so guilty pleasure.
