Am
improved again today, probably still have a day or so before I can say I am 100%
again tho.
Not being
too keen on food made me think about what it is we like as comfort food.
For me
all I wanted yesterday for my tea and for tea tonight was a soft poached egg on
mashed potato. It may not be your cup of tea or plate of dinner but that’s what
I’m having.
As a kid
Mum would probably have given me arrowroot biscuits and grated apple.
At other
times when my asthma was playing up and I had to stay in bed, it would have
been thin sliced white bread and blackcurrant jam. But I think I have probably
written about that before. It was worth repeating tho.
I can’t remember if any of my kids had any
particular comfort food favourites when they were sick. But they were partial
to golden syrup dumplings. Mum used to make it too and it was a definite firm
favourite.
It occurred
to me recently that Mum didn’t pass on her cooking skills or recipes for that
matter. Pity about that.
She was a
great sewer and knitter too, but didn’t teach be those either.Intermediate
school gave me minimal skills in those departments.
The first
thing us girls had to make at sewing was our cooking apron. A traditional style
apron all hand hemmed. And a cap too, but it was more of a front than a full
cap.
Not only that we had to embroider our name across the front of it. I don’t
think it served any hygienic purpose, it was probably just one of those mind
numbing finger pricking exercises dreamed up by the education authorities of
the day
