not a bad sick day

i called in sick today. physically i am ok, but my voice is totally ineffective to make any corporate communication. so i wanted to do nothing but watch a lot of tv. my friend suzanne was quick to encourage in her email, "watch as much tv as you can swallow." that's exactly what i did today.

the thing about me is, being on a normal day or a sick day, i don't lose my appetite much. checking my fridge for lunch, i came up with a new invention: stir fry mushroom, dried tofu (fried outside with mushy inside), minced pork and shrimp. accented with green onion and cilantro. i had a half a handful of brown rice to go with the dish. whoa!

just happened. when i turned on the tv over my lunch, emeril just started to cook up a storm with mshrooms on the food channel. he is doing better and better. i am totally tuned in to his "cooking is playing" style. my problem with cooking show is that you can only see it. and seeing is deceiving. i aways want to be the audience of a cooking show where i can smell. then i will have to get picked to taste.

today, eating my own creation of mushrooms while watching the cooking of them seemed to make up the problem.

all in all, my sick day didn't turn out to be a bad day at all.
