Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Chocolate . Hope you're feeling better soon, Imogen. Take it easy. When I was poorly at home, Mum always used to make me a lemon drizzle cake with granulated sugar mixed with lemon juice instead of icing sugar and lemon juice as the topping and it's just fabulously zesty and made me feel better in no time - well, after a few slices anyway .

Imo Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks! I'm hoping I feel better soon as I need to clean the chookies out shortly, providing it stops raining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 well, when I was ickle and poorly, my mum used to give us 'egg in a cup'. Softly boiled egg mushed up with a bit of butter and a pinch of salt in a cup. Just eat with a teaspoon and perhaps some hot buttered soldiers Always made me feel better, in fact, I'm going to have some later now you've put the idea in me head get well soon!

Omletina Kyckling Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 My mum used to make me semolina pudding with a smiley face made out of sultanas on top. To this day, if I say I'm under the weather, mum says "what you need is a smiley pudding"..... I find wine and chocolate works best these days!!

How weird I used to make a smiley dish of hot Ready Brek mixed with honey with a sultana smile for my kids when they were poorly.

chelsea Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 mmm I would go for the hot buttered crumpet option We always had to have "knorr chicken noodle soup" when I was a kid. They do still make it though! Soup is a real comfort food. Hope you are feeling better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are feeling better soon. us too but I bet it's not made with free range chicken so I wouldn't eat it now, shame. She used to take lots of packet soups with us when we went away in the caravan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckov Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 What a lovely thread. Diane, your mum's smiley pudding made me smile too - I bet there was a lot of love went into making those smiley puddings! And it's funny how you can only see it when you're a mum yourself!
