We used to have more of a problem with this in my house. I have twin boys and one of them when he was little, the first sign of any illness was throwing up dinner.

My pediatric-trained dad always gave us jello water and it's what I give my kids too.<br /><br />Christopher Kimball of Cook's Ill does an op ed at the NYT on Gourmet's demise, in which he says, "In a serendipitous turnabout 19 years later, Cook’s is today alive and well (I restarted the magazine in 1993) and Gourmet has foundered."<br /><br />Not nice. Glad Cook's is still around, and it was likely a dig at Conde Nast, but still. It isn't serendipitous that Gourmet is closing, you a$$.Girl Detectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348689834879722062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-16541934536295104692009-10-08T14:37:07.789-07:002009-10-08T14:37:07.789-07:00I'll check out the joy of cooking.

The first book I looked in just now -- the 1997 Joy -- has a mashed potato stuffing recipe flavored with Parmesan cheese. For some reason that doesn't sound appealing to me, but I would be it's pretty good once you get your head around the idea.tipsybakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796856700365644779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-8444013442724113232009-10-08T14:26:22.201-07:002009-10-08T14:26:22.201-07:00Hope the family feels better...I think I will try ...Hope the family feels better...I think I will try coke if I end up with the flu.<br /><br />I was just wondering if you might know of a tasty recipe for potato stuffing??

My mother told me that her aunt, who made numerous trips between the U. S. and France from the 1880s to the 1920s, would take to her bunk when the ship got under way and would subsist on nothing but champagne for the entire voyage...<br />A lot better than Coke, I think.Avocetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-73063376336621987082009-10-08T09:20:55.398-07:002009-10-08T09:20:55.398-07:00Yes, it was marketed, and quite effectively, appar...Yes, it was marketed, and quite effectively, apparently, as a stomach soother. In fact, my mother had the coke SYRUP, sold from behind the counter at the drugstore, served over crushed ice, for such emergencies. I kept the last bottle from her house because it seems so crazy to me that coke syrup was a behind-the-counter anti-nausea remedy.<br />Hope the flu goes away soon!Ooniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162162953846737959noreply@blogger.com
