oF "Taste
By Hilary Keating Callaghan
Fluff up the pillows and rest
"What the mind conceives, the body achieves."
This optimistic statement expresses the philosophy
of the current power-of-positive-thinking
school of self-improvement.
The goal of this movement is to harness and direct
the immense, untapped potential of the human
mind The power of the mind to effect physical
change has been the subject of a great deal of interest
and study in recent years although this is an
ancient phenomenon.
An indication of popular fascination with this
mental-physical connection was the sequence in
"The Empire Strikes Back" in which Luke
Skywalker, under the tutelage of the ancient Yoda,
learns to move physical objects through mental
concentration.
The mind, however, works on the subconscious as
well as the conscious level, and .our subconscious
may desire what the conscious mind would reject.
There are those, for example, who would hold that
succumbing to a cold or flu may not be entirely a
physical occurrence.
The subconscious may wish to be sick. Illness
may offer a chance to rest, to escape responsibility,
to obtain sympathy
COLD AND FLU germs surround us. Why, at a
particular time, do we fall victim 0 Why will one
person pick up a bug while someone else, similarly
exposed, will.not? The intervention of the subconscious
offers an intriguing possibility.
Taking sensible preventative measures is beneficial
whether one subscribes to this theory of the
subconscious or to a pure germ theory. Simply
focusing one's conscious thoughts on remaining
healthy should help the body achieve that end.
Dressing and eating right should enable the body
to carry out the mind's bidding.
Eating to ward off colds or flu means basically
following a normal, prudent diet, with attention to
obtaining adequate amounts of vitamin C. Good
winter sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits, tomatoes,
cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
If these precautions fail and you do succumb,
give in and pamper yourself.
FLUFF UP the pillows and take to your bed for
the duration, armed with mountains of light reading
and tissues. Plan to drink plenty of fluids
preferably hot and loaded with vitamin C. Meals
should be light. The body is too busy repairing itself
to be digesting heavy meals.
Fortunately, appetites usually wane when one is
ill. The problem is more likely to be working up
some interest in eating anything when food can't be
tasted due to congestion,

If this is a problem, try Breakfast Tortillas from
"The Suijset Book of Breakfasts and Brunches."
As the name of the book indicates, this can be
served for the first meal of the day. It is equally
good, however, at any other time of the day. If you
are able to taste anything at all, the flavors of these
tortillas should come through loud and clear.
The hot peppers in the sauce might even clear
your nose and sinuses and incinerate a few germs
along the way. The tomatoes in the sauce should
provide a vitamin C boost.
Folk wisdom has long held — and'medical science
is now concurring — that you should eat hot
soup (traditionally chicken) when you are sick. Soup
provides the extra liquid your body requires and at
the same time imparts a beautifully warm sensation.
In keeping with this eminently sensible tradition,
then, you should have soup. Why not a traditionla
Greek soup — Lemon Rice? Not too heavy or rich
and with the Vitamin C of the lemon, this is a perfect
meal for convalescing.

briefly over dish, then fry in butter for about 1 minute

1 Mi cups cooked long-grain rice
lemon slices
Season broth to taste with salt and pepper, adding
a little strained potato pulp if you wish. Beat
the eggs with the juice of one lemon. About 5 to 10
minutes before you serve the soup, add some of the
hot broth to the beaten eggs — stirring vigorously
— then return it to the pof, still stirring, and heat
for a few minutes this way until the egg mixture is
smoothly bound into the broth. Add the cooked rice
and serve at once, garnishing each bowl with a paperthin
slice of lemon.
This will serve 6 and goes nicely with slices, of
black breafl spread with dill butter. The bread and
butter should be chilled, (adapted from "The Vegetarian
Epicure" by Anna Thomas).
Pork chops
with carrots
From an old-fashioned country kitchen comes a
recipe for today — with pork chops and carrots —
country style. Thyme-seasoned pork chops are arranged
on carrot strips in a baking dish, then are
topped with onion slices. The chop and vegetable
combo is easily assembled and bakes unattended
For the best buys, try shopping the sales and
stocking the freezer with pork chops and other favorite
pork cuts when they are featured on special.
