Food Can In Some Way Help You Recover From a Minor Illness

 

This may not help everyone but it has certainly taken care of me.

On occasion I get bronchitis which has me coughing so hard I damage my stomach and diaphragm muscles and most of the time it lasts for at least a week and a half.

I found a fast resolution the last time I had it.

I was off work for a short period of time and I made some regular large glasses of hot beef broth using Knorr’s Latin Flavor bouillon granules.

I would make a quart at a time. I would add some Lean and Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce and a bunch of Mexican Hot sauce.

I would drink the quart of spicy broth with 4-5 shots of scotch and then chase it with some southern style iced sweet tea. I would drink this about every 2-3 hours and my Bronchitis was gone completely in 2 days.

I Love Everything That Is Made From A Pig.

 

My wife and I were at Karn’s today and they had some wonderful Ham on sale. Karn’s has the best quality meat in the Harrisburg PA area. It is always fabulous and is many times on sale for very reasonable prices compared to pricing in other stores.

Ham recently has been pretty expensive. Today they had hams on sale for well under 2 dollars a pound and the ham is absolutely fabulous. The brining is perfect and it is very well smoked.

They also had Perdue fresh roasting chickens on sale for 1 dollar a pound so we got one of those and had it for dinner. They have the most awesome meat in the area.

The sometimes have bacon ends on sale for less than 3 dollars a pound which is a great price since most bacon in general is over 5 dollars a pound and sometimes as high as 7 dollars a pound. I have no problem with bacon ends. The fact that the bacon is all kinds of odd sized and thickness slices makes no difference to me. I want the flavor and you have that regardless of whether it is perfectly sliced or not.

Fantastic More or Less Oriental Food

 

I made a fabulous oriental style food the other day. I am very limited on the money I have to spend. My wife and I were at a discount grocery store and found some fabulous seafood. We found a case of fish fillets from a Hong Kong company. I was able to purchase a 10 pound case of fish fillets for about 6 dollars.

I put several of the fillets into a large non stick pan and added a small amount of flavorless coconut oil to the pan so I could sear the fillets and brown them a bit. I then added some crushed garlic, a little soy sauce and some oyster sauce. Once that was done I added a bit of leftover Jasmine rice to the pan and turned up the heat so that everything was combined and in certain cases seared a bit by the high temperature in the pan.

This turned out to be an absolutely fabulous.tasting meal. Oriental and middle eastern spices and sauces are not only fabulous tasting but also pretty healthy.
