A bit under the weather
My husband’s been coughing, with a bit of high temperature and not really feeling well the past three days. Only I couldn’t stop him from working since he is such a workaholic. Now I feel the disadvantage of having an office at home, you just couldn’t stop yourself from doing your work.
And of course, a gas mask wont look good at me (or probably the opposite 
) otherwise I would have worn one. So this morning I woke up with a sore throat…not a very good feeling to wake up to. But if it’s gotta happen, it will happen. ‘Through sickness and health” I said during the wedding ceremony…darn why did I said that? *lol* But it’s getting cold and I guess getting sick is inevitable. Argh! *sniff sniff*
But one thing I’m glad during winter is that I’m able to cook soups. Yes, soups! My husband is a ‘meat’ guy, typical dutch, but he welcomes soups every winter…making yours truly pretty happy. I’ve cooked my favorite braised beef soup, it’s a Thai recipe which believe it or not, is very easy to prepare. So if you’re interested to know the recipe, do visit this link.
my Neua Tun or Braised Beef Soup who says that an authentic Thai recipe can not be cooked at home?
By the way, I will post my contest entry next…I’m still busy finding the questions I’ll be using.
Call me Thess. Married to a wonderful Dutchman.
Nice piece of history there. Wow, what a great treat.

Hello Thess! Sorry to hear that both you and hubby are both under the weather. Knock on wood but I haven’t gotten sick thus far . . . only my daughter, AC this past week. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. BTW . . . I will definitely visit the link for that braised beef soup. The hubs likes his “bean sprouts” so I’m sure this will be a hit. . . that’s if it turns out. You always have the best recipes Thess . . . and they look relatively easy to prepare. Again, take care. Have Charlie look after the two of you! Ciao for now! :-)
