My girlfriend buys these in bulk from crafting stores and embroiders them for gifts. I received the "Happy Kitchenware" pattern, featuring dancing plates and cuddling spoons. She also found a pattern called "Tropical Babies". It's wonderfully/horrifically un-PC.

Hi, all;

I'm new here, and enjoy the site very much.

My Granma made me some chicken soup, from scratch, when I was a little girl, and had been very sick for over a week, or so. She asked if there was anything I could think of that I might eat. I said chicken noodle soup, and, being a city girl, was in mind of Campbells version.

When I say she made it from scratch, I mean that the first thing she had to do was to catch the chicken. Well after all that entailed, plus making home made noodles, wouldn't you know I just smelled it and starting gagging. Granma was not pleased.

Well since you limeys got your 'tid' in the ringer and we bailed your ass out in WWll you better learn what a 'tit' is. We Yanks came over to GB and got allot of 'tid' and pulled down our fair share of 'nickers'. That ain't what a horse does either mate. Theres a little 'tit-bit' to chew on while you're sitting around at tea . Bligh me ,so soon they forget!

Hey ' NotAmerican' it's " tid-bit" . A little " bit a tit " always made us American teenagers feel good . Emphasis on the "feel". " Now a days" more is required .

My husband makes me chicken broth with the nockerlin dumplings from older versions of Joy of Cooking.

My grandpa used to make me soft boiled eggs with toast, too and I still make it for myself when I am sick. Also simple potato soup. When I am starting to feel better, but not quite 100% - Kraft mac & cheese (old school, none of that fancy Deluxe stuff), sprinkled with Parmesan and topped with ketchup
: )

Since childhood, I've always avoided dairy, sugar, and fried/oily foods when I'm sick, but these are the things that I do turn to -- congee (with green onions, and dried scallops or any leftover chicken or pork), Jewish chicken soup from the deli, wonton noodle soup. Also, black tea with ginseng honey and lemon.

LOL @jfitz!!

Dr. Pepper. No food.

I live a MILE down the road from Schoop's. Do I win the prize? It's expensive but always worth it. The burgers are like wider and thicker versions of Steak-n-Shake burgers. My husband always gets the old fashioned cherry Coke and milkshakes. My most embarrassingly gluttonous meal there was a single hamburger with the Irish fries (cheese, bacon, scallions, sour cream). And I ate it all! Their fries are thick sticks, not crinkle or frozen.

I worked at Wendy's when I was in High School and there were always those people who ordered these burgers (sometimes with extra cheese and bacon). It was always a process to make, cause the patties would slide around on top of each other because of the grease and lack of friction. Truly a disgusting concoction.

Ordering a burger with four patties is just silly, the meat/bun ratio is way out of whack. Just order two burgers with two patties each.
