ginger ale and saltines. that usually makes me feel human again.

i think i have a lot to learn about korean food. any suggestions for sites or books readily available? this is my new favorite cuisine. kimchee on everything! any korean recipes will be tried by me unless they prove too difficult, or contain ingredients unavailable.

i looked at the packaging to see what were listed as ingredients, but it's all in korean. and thank you wookie, i didn't know sunchang was a brand, i thought it was part of the name of gochujang. i'll try using it a couple of different ways suggested here. thank you!

When I'm sick, I love ramen noodles with hot sauce. Something about the hot salty broth and the spicyness really makes me feel better. Other favorites: crackers, pad thai, mac&cheese, grilled cheese (cheddar on wheat only!), or chicken pot pie.

Mac and cheese, rice, chicken soup. If there's leftover spaghetti, that's wonderful. But I don't cook very well when I'm sick, so I stick to very plain things and let hubby fend for himself. Otherwise he has to deal with my odd sense of taste, which can result in some odd flavors in the end product.

Coffee nearly always tastes terrible to me when I'm sick, as does any sort of seafood. Many other things take on a weird or metallic taste, so I'm best off sticking to the few things that I know will be okay.

As soon as I'm feeling better, the first thing I crave is a big steak or beef roast.

Vegetable Noodle Soup with a squirt of lemon juice, Mashed Potatoes with Olive Oil and many times, I crave Macaroni and Cheese...

Rice, pastina, chicken soup. And if I am too sick cook it myself, I'll open up a can of Progresso Chickarina soup.

Breakfast for dinner always makes me feel good. Lots of eggs, hashbrowns (with hot sauce), even pancakes. I think I like it so much because my mom used to make breakfast for dinner when I was a kid.
