Some strange virus seems to have settled on this house overnight. It's not that any of us are really sick - it's just that obnoxious "blah" feeling no matter what you do. What's more, it's affecting everyone. Joey's been headachey all day, breaking out into random sweats. I've been nauseous and exhausted. Judah's not been himself, either. Oh, and even the cat was throwing up today - something she's done maybe three times in the three years we've had her. What's the likelihood that all of us feel ill all at once? I would like to blame it on the fact that we haven't seen the sun since sometime Sunday morning. It's been cold and rainy and we haven't spent any time outside in a week. Blech.
On a happier note, we discovered some Chinese dumplings at our usual grocery store yesterday that are super duper tasty - these ones are filled with pork, vegetables, and leek. Instead of going to enjoy some awesome soup at Dick's cafe, we decided to make our own (cheaper) variation of it. Seriously, this soup is a winner. It's quick, foolproof, and delicious. Just prepare some tasty broth goodness (beef or chicken broth from a carton, hot sauce/soya sauce, minced garlic, chilis, whatever), cut up a variety of fresh veggies (carrots, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, red peppers, green onions, mushrooms, etc.) to throw in, and plop in your dumplings to cook as long as the package says. Seriously. Fool. Proof.
Well, I hope you're all having a good day out there. If you make this soup, I promise it will make it better. :)
