All I remember is that it was published in 1922 and was really quite amazingly long. Wish I did, but no, I don’t remember.

Of course, you're right that you don't actually want to eat a whole lot or can't necessarily keep it down, but I still like it. Also, do you happen to remember the name of that book? It sounds like a good read! :) I love comfort foods when I’m sick. Of course, you’re right that you don’t actually want to eat a whole lot or can’t necessarily keep it down, but I still like it.

Dry ginger ale in tiny little glasses. Oh, and a dear friend, who when he/she hears your voice on the phone says: "I'm coming right over to pick up your kid." Great post, Molly. And while I feel fit as a fiddle as I type, I have so been where you went this weekend that you have my empathy, my dear. TLC, of course, except when you feel so crappy you just wanna be left alone.

I love your thoughts on offering just little bits of food at a time--so true! Hot salty broths (miso or chicken) always warm me up and start healing from the inside out. I just finished a hot mug of lemon ginger tea. Hope it works! I’m just on the verge of feeling achey sick, so I am totally feeling you here.

Great food suggestions. Another go to sick food for us is pretzels, and of course gatorade if one can manage to keep it down.
