Top Five Foods To Eat When You're Too Sick To Cook:

by Eggs McGeez

1. Pizza

Any kind that suits your fancy. That's right, top yours with tuna and sweet corn, Mr. British Isles! Whatever floats your boat. Pizza has healing properties whatever the topping.

Athough, I do believe the classic Margheretta does have the most effective fever-reducing powers; thin crust, light sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil with a light drizzle of the best extra virgin olive oil.

mmmmmmmm...

Have husband-unit pick it up from local restaurant and clean up that drool, Missy!

2. Pasta

This can be any type of pasta and any sauce combo. It must, however, be one of your favorite combos. This is key.

Husband-unit SHOULD be able to put this together with minimal intervention. Here's what J did last night:


not bad, huh?


3. Chinese Take-Out


This does require a GOOD Chinese restaurant within 10 miles. Have husband-unit pick up the massive assortment of goodies you ordered at the peak of your fever.

move! move! get on it man!

4. Matzoh Ball soup and Chocolate Chip Danishes (or Rugelach).

I know I am getting a bit specific here, but the combination is essential.
Yes, this does require that you live in Los Angeles or New York as I have yet to find a really good deli elsewhere...so we're screwed.

Move on to #5

5. Doughnuts or Cake, or both

Do NOT have husband attempt to make these. These require a skilled hand. Send husband-unit to fancy bakery downtown to pick up said items.



Call me in the morning.


runners-up:

-toasted "everything" bagel with a schmear of cream cheese, sliced tomato and sprinkle of kosher salt.
-pad thai with your choice of protein from that rocking thai restaurant on 7th.
-burgers on toasted buns with the works (again, your choice of "protein")
-anything but plain old soup please.
