Wasted day, Thursday. They took a pint of blood and I felt wrong the rest of the day. Slept 18 hours or so. Didn't really eat. I know that's bad but didn't even have the energy to eat. Made a bit of soup and went to bed again.

Wonderful soup recipe. Lots of greens and bland enough for a tender tummy.

Ginger Garlic Chicken Ramen

Yields: 8 servings
Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins

Ingredients
8 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, halved lengthwise
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 (3.5-ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, halved
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
3 (3-ounce) packages dried ramen, seasoning packs discarded
4 baby bok choy, separated into leaves
2 c. snow peas
3 scallions, sliced


1. Combine stock, chicken, ginger, and garlic in a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Add mushrooms, soy sauce, and sesame oil and simmer, covered, until mushrooms are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken and shred with two forks.
2. Add noodles to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in chicken, bok choy, and snow peas. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in scallions just before serving.

Back to work tonight. It's going to suck. Plus I need to buy more dog food. I should probably eat something....
