Today’s word of the day is brought to you by Sunday Scribblings: Recipe
To be honest, in this marriage, Babendude is the cook. It didn’t start out that way. I mean, I’ve never really cooked. Let me rephrase that. I cook, mostly breakfast food. And I’m not too shabby with spaghetti. However, I pretty much lived on Hamburger Helper (the ones where you add ground beef) and TV dinners before I met him. When we started living together, we still ate TV dinners but he would mix it up a little and sometimes do stir-fry.
Then a Fresh and Easy was built near our house and it was all over but the cryin’. In a good way. We’ve since ditched the TV dinners and now eat “real” food. LOL
Which he cooks.
My contribution isn’t something he created, but a recipe we use from his Chinese Herbal Remedies book when we get sick:
1 can of soup (preferably Chicken Noodle)
Fresh Ginger Root
Green Onions (1 small bundle)
Prepare soup as normal. Cut some of the ginger root into tiny chunks (FYI: this stuff is strong-smelling and strong-tasting, so don’t use the whole thing). Chop up green onions (1 or 2 stalks). Add ginger root chunks and chopped onions to hot soup. Wrap yourself in a blanket (or layers of clothes) and prepare to sweat out your cold.
This works. Babendude and I both swear by it.
I don’t like the smell or taste of ginger. Mixing it with chicken noodle soup (where there’s already tons of veggies mixed in) kind of masks the ginger flavor.

Hey, I was reading your post and I just wanted to thank you for putting out such great content. There’s so much nonsense on the internet these days its hard to find anything worthwhile. I actually have cooked this recipe before, I got this book last month on recommendation from a friend http://ninjahq.com/go/cookingrecipes and it turned out quite nice! I’m very eager to try your variation of it though, it looks excellent. I think you might enjoy those recipes, they’re very good. Thanks for the article and tips.
noodle recipes says:
crockpots and noodles create mush. I usually wait till the end of the cooking time approx last 1/2 hour then add noodles I did that 15 yrs ago they turned to mush when i added them with everything in the beginning. I add them raw but if you notice the dish is too done, and there may be not enough liquid to cook them and just need to be added to serve then yes cook first then just serve
