Yikes Pom!! I can't believe that you're still recovering!! Killer potato salad!! When we were kids and our stomachs were upset from the flu or whatnot, we always got pastina when we were recovering. It's tiny little pastas that you boil in salted water, with a few bits of cut up carrot. Then you spoon out a bit of the pasta/carrot/water together and eat. Comforting and easily digestable. Total positive Italian childhood recovery experience!!
