Soup is good for the soul...and body

I was not feeling so good few days ago and it's been raining non-stop in JB. In fact, I felt asthmatic and cold. Find it difficult to breath and my runny nose still keeps going. I thought I;m gonna take a day MC the next day till I had dinner.


For the rest of the day, I didn't really have any 'hot' food. I had bread for breakfast, chicken rice for lunch and bread again for tea. Seeing that we don't have any preferences for dinner on a cold , windy night ... we opted for a Fish Head Soup Steamboat. Together with some dishes like beancurd tofu and slice ginger chicken, I almost 'recover' instantly after consuming. The breathing difficulties cools away and I never felt so good again!

This led me to think that it's probably the cold weather and it's mind over matters on my 'illness'. And, having freshly boiled soup and fresh cooked food are definitely good for a body which is recovering from flu. Eat nutritious  but healthy food and drink lots of soup will do good for the body, and of course the soul. Now, I know why chicken soup is good for the soul...haha.

Have a good mid-week!

  11. Hi Chris, ha ha, your mention of 'cold weather', you should be here....
    What you say 'cold' to us is mini skirt weather.
    When its -5'c, we say, "its chilly".
    At -10'c, we say, "it's cold"!
    At -28'c'? Then it's, "HOLY Sh%*!! Ha ha.

    We now getting -2'c at nights dropping to about
    -5'c. Still cool.....
    Won't be long before we get the snow and ice....and our solarium windows covered with ice.
    You stay easy, Lee.
