Menu Planning for Influenza & Injury

Last Friday morning, my daughter, Fiona, woke with a high fever and by that evening five outta six of us were sunk in an inflenza abyss of coughing, sneezing, burning and moaning.  

So, what does one do when wracked with body aches and chest congestion and slower reflexes?  Make guacamole with an uber-sharp knife and, thereby, fillet a rather important and prominent index finger, that's what.

Now, the trouble is, what can we eat, if we even want to eat, and who's gonna make it, when there's not one of us home who is up for air, much less cooking?  The answer: I dunno.

Breakfasts 

The BRAT Diet: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast

Lunches

Chicken Stock w/Rice & Veggies

Nut Butter on Toast & Lunch Meat Sandwiches, as we're able...

Dinners

I have NO idea.

Pray for us!!  We made it outta winter without a single sniffle, and yet, here we are, suffering with influenza in the middle of perpetually beautiful Spring weather.  The irony of it almost makes me giggle; but if I giggle, I'll wind up in a painful fit of coughing, which will give me a wicked headache, so let's just leave it at that---almost.

Oh! and a tip from a friend: use a butter knife when slicing avocados.  "They're avocados for Pete's sake!"

Have a great week y'all!!
