Feeling under the weather

I've been feeling a little unwell recently.

Okay, maybe more than a little. It's been a while since I've been subject to the attack of such a strong flu virus.

I've been literally knocked out for the last 2 days - doing nothing much but sleeping. And I can't taste anything.. which is bad because.. well, everyone knows how much I like my food.

Since I couldn't taste much, I wanted to make my breakfast today look pretty. At least then I feel good eating it. So I decided to stack some yoghurt, granola, sliced almonds and dried strawberry slices into a pretty little glass with some golden honey at the bottom.

And you know what? Having a pretty looking breakfast did brighten up my day!

    OKC,
    Ginger is useful in treating flu! My mum use to boil grated ginger(1 inch of size) with half cup of water . It have to be boil until left to half. Then we will drink ! It really make us feel better when having flu. A bit spicy taste.....
