I am sick with a cold/flu. My usual TLC meal is jook, also known as congee. I make this thick porridge-like soup out of rice, broth, and ginger. It's very soothing and nutritious.
Here are some congee recipes:

I just got OVER having the flu - I hope you didn't catch it from me, through the blogging world, haha ;-) Hope you feel better soon, Alexa!!
**My therapeutic meal that I ate quite a bit during my flu this past week = my B-S-Cubed dish (see the post below):

You need some Jewish penicillin: Homemade Chicken Soup!
Feel better honey!
When I have a cold its all about green curry soup! Get better!
*A BIG HUG FROM ME*...get well soon Alexa. For a cold, I give the kids honey with some turmeric powder (doesn't taste yuk), & for a cough, it's honey with black pepper. xoxoxo
I am so sorry that you are sick. Yuck! I love ginger tea when I feel sick, well any herbal tea, really. Hope you are feeling better soon!
'Tis the season, huh? Sorry to hear you're under the weather, and I hope that you're feeling better soon!
Oh poor Alexa, feel better soon. My vote is for Jewish penicillin: chicken noodle soup- works for me every time
It is tomato soup for me Alexa or maybe a hot toddy! My tip is to take zinc all year round and that stops colds in their tracks!
I do hope you are feeling better soon
Alexa, I feel for you, because I'm still in recovery mode, 8 weeks after being hit by the flu.
I hope you're being catered by your loved ones. Lots of sympathy and good thoughts coming your way.
