Being Sick Sucks

Last week I came down with the flu, I know I hit at least 101.1 degrees. The part that really annoys me, and I'm sure it annoys you too, is as nice as it is to lounge around in bed, you don't want to do it if you have to do it; it's not a luxury, it's an annoyance. Argh! Not only are you forced to do nothing but you can't really eat very much! I'd say that's pretty annoying too. 

When I was a kid and didn't feel well, my mom would make okayu, which is basically over-cooked, mushy white rice, a porridge consistency, seasoned with salt and/or an umeboshi (pickled plum). It was the perfect blend of bland and salt. Since I no longer live at home and Mr. Mari burns water, it's applesauce and saltines for me. 

What do you eat when you're feeling blah? Congee? Tea and toast?
