Recently, Furry and I had need to have a Typhoid injection.
Man, those suckers hurt like a BIOTCH! Not the actual injection so much, but the rolling nausea and throbbing joint pain for the 24 hours afterward has made me think that actually catching typhoid might be a more pleasant option.
So for dinner that night of the injection, we turned to one of our original stand bys in time of need.
Asian Penicillin, aka noodle soup.
Take a packet of Hokkien noddles, loosen them in hot water and set aside.
Into a couple of servings of chicken stock, add a star anise, some ginger, garlic, spring onion greens and a goodly slurp of sesame oil and bring to a gently simmer.
Add some finely sliced chicken thigh meat, some Asian greens, a bit of baby corn, some mushrooms, some gow gees (if you have any) and the noodles at the last minute.
Serve in deep bowls, add a raw egg and a dash of soy, swirl all in together and eat snuggled up on the couch.

Mmmm sounds yummy - though I would never have thought to add a raw egg.
Sympathy for your side-effects. Many thanks for the recipe. yum
Some gow gees?! I thought Asian penicillin was the chilli me mum used to put in food. It was so hot it would kill off anything you had!!
Typhoid injections sound like a bugger! Here everyone's worrying about Swine flu which is a variant of cad fever and ghastly beast flu. You get it from an absolute shower!
What great comfort food! That'd make any patient a happy camper- must train Patience to make me some in times of need...
