Wheezy

I'm dying. I feel like crap. I've been sick off and on since the holidays. I'm tired of it. I thought I was getting better. I went to the doc on Thursday and he said everything looks fine. On Friday I started this bizarre wheezing cough and on Saturday I couldn't get out of bed. I slept most of the day Saturday. Taking a shower was exhausting.

Today I'm not much better. I'm sitting here trying not to pee my pants every time I have a coughing jag. I need to strip the bed and remake it - not looking forward to it. Just the thought of it makes me tired.

Then, to top it all off, I hear my beloved peanut butter is being recalled due to salmonella. Peanut butter is my go to food when I don't feel well, when I do feel well, basically anytime. I love peanut butter. In fact, I'm not sure I ate much of anything else for the first 6 years of my life. I'm actually very sad because my niece has yet to try peanut butter - she's not yet 3 years old and can't have it. We are all taking bets in the family as to whether or not she will like it. I'm obviously on the pro side. My sister-in-law didn't discover the wonders of the magical properties of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich until she was pregnant with my niece, so I'm thinking because of that my niece will love it. At least I hope so.

In my family we actually have a weird tradition of eating peanut butter. We eat chicken noodle soup with peanut butter on saltine crackers together. Not just together, but we float the peanut butter laden crackers in the chicken noodle soup.

Don't knock it til you try it. Does your family have any weird food traditions?
