Today was my first real sick day. I've never spent a whole day away from work because of illness. I've gone home sick, and I've started the morning with a migraine and then later in day (why? I'm not sure) still gone into work. But today was an exception. I was taken ill last night and decided to be kind to myself and spend the entire day at home resting. I spent nearly the whole day sleeping or drinking gatorade. It's now 11 at night and having slept most of the day, I'm quite alert. It will be a little while before I go to bed, but I think be able to sleep the night through alright. I ate baby food this evening, thinly sliced banana and cream of rice, but dined vicariously by watching a show on PBS called Daisy Cooks. She roasted yellow peppers on her stove burners, slow cooked potatoes in a tomato sauce in a frying pan and poached clams, scallops and shrimp in white wine, garlic and parsley sauce. Ah, I intend to eat well when I get my stomach back!

That's no fun. Feel better!
I hope you're no longer ill.
Also, a word of caution from someone who's roasted many an eggplant and pepper: roasting vegetables on the burner works well, but it can ruin the stove eventually. It clogs the gas outlets, so be sure to use tinfoil and to clean up well afterward!
I was feeling pretty much 100% last night, and then I had a major fall in my apartment. I tried over a magazine holder full of my family history papers, flew in the air, landed on the rug skidding on my knee giving myself a massive bruise/rug burn. I was holding a bowl with some tomato sauce that all flew up in my face/hair and all over and down my shirt. It was almost as funny as it was frightening. This morning both my knees ache, I've got a bruised elbow and my back is sore. It's not safe to eat out, it's not safe to eat at home.
Ha! I mean, ouch. I think that calls for a post of its own. With pictures.
seconded!
