Lorna and Annis, take care. Looks like Annis has way too much to do helping out and Lorna is to far away to pitch in ways she'd like to do. Distance is the pits when family is in need. Prayers for both of you.

Swedes are rutabagas. Even after 3 1/2 years here we are still always having to ask what something or other is.

Sorry to here about the little fingers being hurt. And yikes from a broken leg to a knee replacement. Hope they both heal well.
Yesterday learned my grandson is in the ICU. He has diabetes. Went in with DKA (sugars real high, dehydrated). Kidneys aren't doing too well. Teens and diabetes. Not a good combo. Fortunately I had better luck keeping his mom (also has diabetes) out of the hospital and under 1/2 way good control.

I hate being half way around the world in times like this. It will be good to go home this summer. Not much sewing the last few days. I did get all the stars done last weekend for my Stars for a New Day BOM's outer border.

I was wondering what swede was too. Another dr. appt. today with no answers. The next appt. is Wed. so get the weekend free to do whatever, probably sew some more bindings and maybe do a little quilting. Picked up the 3 yr. old at day care, dropped him off at home then picked up the other 2 children. When I got back the 3 yr. old had cut his finger with some scissors and mom was trying to stop the bleeding. Held his finger closed for 30 min. waiting for dad to get there to take him to get stitches. Only needed 2 on that tiny finger. Then found out my DSIL with the broken leg will have to have a knee replacement next week, probably Wed. The leg healed but the pins didn't hold so she's still in Rehab. What a day! Still got a binding sewn tonight. Will look for an easier soup recipe.

And, as far as I know, there must be garlic in that penicillin! If there's no garlic - it's just soup.
BTW - what is swede?

Woo Hoo! my fabrics arrived today :woohoo: Now I can hopefully get on with starching them for use. The piece I am planning is not so much a 'miniature', as a 'maxiature' because I have already made the design in Florentine needlepoint, and will be making it larger than the original. :P

I don't know which version you looked up, but as far as I recall from the version I used, essentially you put the chicken some carrots & possibly some swede in a pot, cover with water, bring to the boil and then simmer until the chicken is cooked - depending on weight about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. I don't recall onion. Taking the cooked liquor you discard the original veg and then cook some fresh fine diced carrot & swede , dice off some of the chicken and serve the liquor with 3-4 pieces of carrot, swede and chicken well seasoned with salt & pepper, so that it is a delight to the eye and light on the stomach. It should be cooked quickly and lightly so to keep the freshness in, not boiled to death.
But as I say there are probably as many versions as their are cooks :blink:

Terrie, I read that this was known as the 'Jewish penicillin'

That chicken soup sounds easy to make. It takes a long time to cook though and I will have to cut up an onion! Maybe I will try it next week. If she doesn't like it I'm sure someone in her family will.

Rosemary? How does a chicken become Jewish? Better ask Wendy.

Annis, I just want to add jewish chicken soup as a recipe for you to look up for your DD. I had a version I picked up from a paper over here and tried it out one time when my DM wasn't well, and it went down very well - light, and tasty for a diminished appetite.

Hi Annis,
We're mostly a GF family. Lois's and Rosemary's menu suggestions are what we mostly eat. I'd add fruit smoothies and milkshakes for more calories. DH likes Rudi's original GF bread (freezer case), and Katz Donuts (freezer case). I use King Arthur gluten free mixes. In particular their pancake, brownies and muffins mixes. America's Test Kitchen has a new cookbook "The How Can It be Gluten Free Cookbook". The book tells "what works and how it works".

I am diabetic, too. All foods convert to sugar to be used by the body. Many 'simple' carbs convert quickly to sugars and should be avoided (potatoes, white rice, white bread, regular pasta, processed foods). However, there are good, 'complex' carbs that convert more slowly and I try to use those - especially high fiber carbs. I learned from a nutritionist that if a serving contains 5 or more grams of fiber (check the nutrition content on food labels), then you can subtract those grams from the total carbs to get a "net carb". I eat a whole grain high fiber bread that has 5 grams per slice, there are also high fiber tortillas, and cereals (Go Lean by Kashi is my favorite with 10 grams fiber per serving). Brown rice is a good alternative to white rice. Beans are high in fiber. The body does need carbs in a balance diet, just choose the good ones.

I loved the heart quilts, the doll, and the tea bags. I must have missed that tutorial.
Annis, I think Rosemary had the best advice about the gluten free meals. Meat, veggies, eggs, cheese, etc. If you want to add calories, you can buy gluten free pasta. It is usually made from corn or rice. Also, they have a gluten free pancake mix that is very good. You can make your own mixes, but they usually have a variety of flours you need. I bought all that when my DH went gluten free. Now he is diabetic, so I just eliminate all the carbs that I can. Well, for him I do. I am sneaking pizza for lunch while he is at work. I am not gluten free or diabetic, but I feel guilty eating it in front of him.

Annis, I really have no advice or recipes for you, but I do hope things work out and you get the knowledge you need. I hope your daughter feels better soon.
