Recipe: Egg Custard

If you're as sick of milkshakes as I am, you might want to try this savory egg custard recipe:

1. Scramble two to three eggs in a bowl.
2. Mix in one can of chicken broth. Real homemade chicken broth works even better.
3. Steam the whole mixture in the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes, until it becomes custard-like.

This is rich in protein, and super nutritious. Enjoy!

Food Cravings

Daniel (a fellow blogger from the Yahoo Support Group) asked me what I craved when I was at the hospital, enjoying the fine cuisine of clear broths and juices. The truth is - nothing. My throat hurt each time I swallowed. Because of all the meds and the breathing difficulties, food was the last thing on my mind. In fact, I still don't have muh of an appetite. Ate a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup for lunch (pureed), and found it WAY too salty. Warmed up some French vanilla ice cream and mixed it with whole milk (I know, it sounds disgusting) - but my appetite disappeared while I waited for it to cool off. Then late in the afternoon I blended an apple with some cranberry juice - and just ended up dumping it.

If you went through the surgery as well, what did YOU crave during your recovery? Got any interesting recipes to share? I'd love to hear from you and get some ideas. :)
