when you’re sick: stew vs soup
December 31, 2008All I had yesterday was a banana and a boiled egg. By suppertime, I dispatched a family member to get turkey soup at Whole Foods.
There was no soup, only turkey stew. It was sludgy, tasting of cafeteria food. Hot, but not palatable. I ate a clementine instead.
Today, I reached in the back of the freezer and pulled out a container of frozen chicken soup, at least a year old. It was just the thing. Between that and the meds, I should be back to normal by tomorrow.
Oh, and while I was in the freezer, I took out two steaks.
