I bought some fresh tofu last Saturday that I was planning to make into mapo doufu. Jan’s schedule interfered. She had work on Monday and Tuesday nights. When she came back she did not want anything as spicy as mapo doufu.

Jan has come down with a cold. When Jan gets a cold she drinks endless hot honey lemons (3-4 slices of lemon, 1 tsp. honey, plus hot water). It soothes the throat and the steam clears the sinuses.

My brother-in-law is coming to visit and he is having trouble with his teeth. So I am planning a soft, low-chewing soup for dinner. This side of the family also likes their food pretty American standard, so heavy spices are out as well. However, I can work with that.

I make chicken soup with whatever bits I have in the refrigerator, the backbones and wingtips of chickens, leftover bits of vegetables from other meals.

Chicken soup is a comfort food for Jan and she has had a busy week. Monday was high stress university budget meeting, where she was standing in for the dean. Tuesday, she was the “relevant parent” for Eilene’s registration into college. Wednesday and Thursday she was working at a conference up in Sausalito that our older daughter, Myr, was running. I knew that she would want something for dinner tonight that would help calm her down.

Jan came down with another cold today. Why do sick junior professors and students always want to meet face to face? It was time to whip up another garlic chicken soup.
