Late Saturday I just knew I was coming down with the something. I was tired, my head was pounding (and had been most of the day) and I was cold then hot. I never get a flu shot. I guess you could say I’m against them. I don’t really feel they are worth getting sick to avoid becoming really sick. Seems counterintuitive if you ask me. I know, this is probably silly reasoning especially since almost everyone I know has either had the flu, is in the middle of it, or is just getting over it. Then there’s all the H1N1 hype. I still can’t make myself get the shot. I’m not scared of shots either. But this weekend I was second guessing my stance.
Sunday I felt bad. I slept in and lounged on the sofa for the better part of the day. By the end of the afternoon I was becoming bored with sitting around and decided the only thing that would make me feel better would be some really good soup. I remembered a while back Jora made a great homemade chicken noodle soup. I’ve made it before and you really can’t go wrong here. This time I had to wing it because I wasn’t about to leave the house for noodles. Fortunately we had everything else.
The good news is, I’m completely flu free. As it turns out I never had the flu, only an extended hangover and a little bit of a head cold. The effects of my Friday night birthday celebration lingered a little longer than expected. It seems, I don’t recover as quickly as I did when I was 25 and chicken noodle soup is good for more than just the flu.

Yummy, chicken noodle soup sounds delicious right now! I’m glad you don’t have the flu and aren’t hung over any more! Must have been a great bday celebration! Wish I could have been there :)
Yay! Glad it worked. We are all getting the shots this year for the first time because of the baby. I don’t like the idea of them either…. Hopefully they will do the trick for us this year though!
do they call call that coming down with old age….:) recipe looks great. thank you.
LOL, extended hangover? Casey and the Bad Case of Too Much Birthday…that’s awesome.
This soup looks great, though!
