Food recommendations please for Enid, who is run down, with migraines and other minor and irritating illnesses

[Enid]

Had a migraine last night and am starving today. Am craving stodge but want to avoid too much sugar.

have eaten two slices of malt loaf and two bananas and an apple

what can I eat today that will make me feel satisfied, nurtured and comforted?

have you not even got some eggs and chorizo like on the adverts?

some porridge oats with apple and raisins in?

a banana sandwich?

what about that Pasta Del Olio (sp?) thing? you basically cook a bit of garlic, make some pasta and then shove it all together and stuff some parsley in

doesn't matter if there is no parsley. You must have pasta and garlic?

dh was a bit about it but I pointed out it is a classic recipe...

am gazing out of window at lots of wooded hills

lovely

but fecking devoid of a shop to buy a sandwich

bloody coutnryside

you could go to that lamp shop that's near you isn't it?

that would always cheer me up

we had guests this weekend

they ate us out of house and home

hence nothing

lol capp

great shop and just round teh corner from Waitrose

unfourtnately dhs office in opposite direction deep in Somerset donkey land

Can you eat squirrel, or other woodland creature?

Domestic wildlife lacking in understanding of commerce and catering outlets imo.

Stupid feckers.

Ok Chicken Soup

1 Whole Chicken (Melsy uses Kosher Chicken and she says its a bit sweeter)
6 carrots, cut in half
2-3 parsnips, cut in half
Swede, cut into big chunks
1 onion, whole, skin on.
1 Chicken stock cube
Noodles, as many as you need.

1. Cut the chicken into quarters and add to a big pot. Add 4 and half litres of water and bring to the boil. As boiling, skim off all the frothy scum. As much as possible so that it is a clear liquid.

2. Once all skimmed, add the stock cube, carrots, parsnips, swede and onion. Then bring to the boil again. Turn down low and simmer for 2-3 hours.

3. After simmering, remove the chicken, shred and put back into the pot

4. Serve with cooked noodles and put into soup.

lol trolley

thanks nbg

I loved that shop

I have two of the lampshades in my house

everyone comments [smug]

do you take the veg out

Enid

Boil spaghetti

onion, chop up, throw into wok with a bit of garlic, sprinkle on some paprika, fry till soft, add tin of toms, let it reduce and then throw on spinach.

Voila!

No leave the veg in and scoop out what you want.

that spincah thing sounds riht up my street

Oh its good.
Especially if you let the tomatoes simmer enough.

You could add anything you wanted to that really.
I normally do it with mushrooms and courgettes.

Buy sardines. Nice ones. Eat on toast. Easy. Will boost serotonin levels and all sorts of things.

god i so love sardines

motherinferior did you see the chicken soup recipe? I mean did you see it?

sardines
