It's rather ironic that the exact time I begin blogging about food coincides with possibly the worst stomach flu I've ever had. After not even being able to think about food - let alone eat it - for about a week, I now am faced with re-introducing solid food back into my diet. I've always wondered what can be eaten when one is sick without it looking like gruel. Yesterday I tried a corn soup: simple, really, just turkey broth, corn kernels and rice noodles. To spice it up just a bit I added some ginger oil, salt and pepper. It was considerably plainer than what I'm used to, but much better than farina or drinking the broth on its own. Of course, the corn was a little intense, but I was happy just to have one of my favorite foods.
Tonight, I'm trying a rice dish. Butternut squash infused sticky rice with avocado and tomato. I'll let you know how that turns out...
