Recipes for fighting the flu
Pancakes-Delicious
You will use Millet flour and self-ring flour. This is the flu season
and these will appeal even to those who don’t have an appetite.
1 cup millet flour
1 cup self-rising flour
1 heaping teaspoon Rumford baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk, more or less, enough to make a batter
To be poured into a skillet
Topping:
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blackberries
2 Tablespoons elderberry concentrate
2 cups corn syrup
1/4 cup orange juice or any juice or even water
Blend this until the mixture is easily poured into a pitcher.
As you get ready to go into flu season, at the end of summer start
stocking up on the above foods so all you have to do is reach into
your freezer.
There is a food supplement at the health food store called Fruitein.
It comes in different selections. I stock up on those ahead of time,
too. They are a bit expensive so I can usually only buy one a month,
but they are invaluable in fighting the debilitating effects of flu.
Pear tea
Pears are high in healing properties. I stock up on those too. My own tree
produced well this year.
1 small can pears
1 teaspoon ginger
1 family size tea bag
½ cup sugar or as you like it
Make your tea with boiling water allowing the bag to steep. Add the
teaspoon of ginger and sugar.
Put a can of pears, juice and all in the blender.
Cool the tea with water and pour into pitcher along with enough water
to almost fill the pitcher. Add the blended pears to the tea and serve over
a full glass of ice. Even a sick person won’t turn this down.
Onion rings with millet batter
You will have batter left over from the pancakes. Save that batter and
in the evening cup onion into rings and dip this into that batter. Drop in
enough hot oil to fry and serve immediately. They will disappear in a hurry
so be sure you have enough onions.
After the person begins to rally against the worst of the flu serve this:
Calf liver and onions
You can usually get a good calf liver from Wal-mart. We don’t eat that
much meat but a sick person needs protein. Calf liver is tender and has
less strong taste plus is high in all elements of vitamins.
Fry liver until no more blood runs out of it. Do not use high heat.
When liver is done, slice four large onions (yes four) and pour enough
water over to cover the liver and the onions.
As soon as the onions are tender, remove them from pan, and make a roux
with the liquid in the pan by adding a couple heaping tablespoons flour. Turn
off the heat and with a whisk mix this together until smooth with no lumps.
Add flour, salt and pepper, as you like it.
As soon as roux is smooth and thickened pour this over the liver and onions
you have placed on a platter. Even if a person doesn’t like liver they will
usually eat the roux with bread and this enough of the nutrients to help them.
