So the procedure today seemed to go well. Even the whole "conscious sedation" thing went fine. About 2 hours out, I am just a teeny bit sleepy -- and also, extremely hungry. I really hadn't eaten anything since that caramel sundae I had last night (yum).
The doctor advised me to start out on the light and easy to digest. So I made my dad's version of macaroni and cheese. He made this all the time for me when I was sick:
You will need:
1 small package vermicelli noodles, elbows, or other small pasta
about 2 or 3 tablespoons butter
about a cup of deglazing liquid of your choice. I used white wine tonight, but chicken broth also works very well
1 package of frozen peas
1/2 - 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
black pepper
Cook the pasta in a sufficient amount of salted boiling water until the pasta is a little tougher than al dente. Drain the pasta, and add the wine or chicken broth, the butter, and the peas. Cook over high heat, until almost all the liquid is evaporated, the butter is melted, and the peas are fully cooked. Shut off the heat and add the cheese. Top with black pepper and serve.
I'm eating this along with some toasted Pepperidge Farm white sandwich bread, also with butter. And maybe I'll have some pudding for dessert.
Funny how the most bland food tastes the most wonderful when your stomach's been out of commission for a while.
