What could be worse than the stomach flu?


Costco on a Sunday. This picture doesn't really do it justice. There was just a huge mob of people crowded by the registers. Why is it every time we visit Costco on the weekends it feels like the end of the world? Everyone is like a rude, pushy zombie trying to get to their 6 lb. box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch before you do. Yuck.


In other news, my cake pop spree has ended.
I got the stomach flu Tuesday night. Still in recovery. Even tiny sips of water wouldn't stay down. This has been the first time I could look at the monitor without getting queasy.

Why am I telling you this? I wanted to share this remedy in case any of you are in the same boat in the near future.

Rice Water:
Cook the rice in twice the amount of water recommended. When rice becomes tender, let it sit off the heat with the lid on for a couple of minutes. Strain the water into a glass. You can add a little bit of sugar to make it taste better.

I was all over this recipe bc it reminded me of Horchata (my faaaavorite drink when my stomach is healthy!)

Check out our huge bag of rice!

It's from Costco ;)

Peace out everybody-and wash your hands frequently! haha
