Yesterday Vince felt just awful and I knew he wasn’t going to want to eat much at all. I began thinking of all the possibilities that I could fix for myself.
Tamales and chili! Not exactly the food you think of eating when it’s 97 degrees outside but I was ready for tamales and chili. There were Zwolle (Louisiana) tamales in the freezer, homemade canned chili in the pantry.
Tamales, homemade yogurt in place of sour cream, homemade chili, cheese, black olives and browned jalapeno peppers.
I love having options – there’s always food in the freezer, in jars or freeze dried and, within reason, we can find almost anything we want to eat around here.
Vince slept most of the day and still isn’t feeling great today. He ate a little leftover chicken soup yesterday but didn’t feel like eating. So far today, he hasn’t feel great. I made biscuits and scrambled eggs this morning. That sounded like a good thing to me . . if I felt bad. He did eat some but he’s back in bed. Hoping the antibiotics kick in and he starts feeling better soon.

wow – that food poisoning really kicked his butt — so much worse than yours. Hope today is the day he starts feeling much better!
Linda Enneking says
I had food poisoning once, and it took over a week for me to start feeling better. There is no way I would have wanted to eat tamales or chili. I’m glad you got over it so quickly, and hope Vince feels better soon.

Hope Vince has started to feel better today. I doubt he’s ever going to go back to that restaurant!
Nelle Coursey says
I’m telling you when we got it, it really busted our bubble. We felt bad for at least a week or more. Cramping was the worst. Maybe just some plain saltine crackers would do the trick.
Ethelann says
Please be sure to contact the doctor if he still not better tomorrow. He has health issues that could worsen with this. What a shame he is so sick from that place
Judy Laquidara says
Thanks for that reminder. He seems to be feeling a bit better today but we’ll see how he progresses through the day.

Wow, that really hit Vince hard! I hope he doesn’t actually go there again. Get Chinese in Abilene!

Hope you both get to feeling better soon !!
