Sick Day

I've been wrestling with this nasty cold all week and it finally pinned me today.  It's sitting heavy on my chest, pounding me with painfully sharp coughs.  I haven't felt this run down in awhile so I'm reaching  for my comfort foods.  My mother used to make the best congee when we were sick, but I don't have the patience for that right now (it takes hours).  Second runner up is wonton soup.

Mine won't look as pretty as this picture, but oh boy will it be yummy.  Ground pork mixed with lots of ginger, black pepper and spring onions, simmered in broth with a splash of sesame oil just before serving.  Who wouldn't feel better sitting down to that?
