I used to make milk toast for myself, well into teenage hood for a
snack.

As a kid, when I was sick, mom fed us plain jello and either coke
syrup or 7UP. No milk for upset tummies. I still don't like plain
jello and I'm not fond of soda either.

I used to give my own kids the chicken & rice soup with ginger that I
have posted in the signature dish section of recfoodcooking.com...
which they still crave today when they're ill.
