This recipe was made when my son had the mumps and Krissy came home from school and wanted some and I told her no, this is for Chuck because he is sick. She went into the living room pouting and said "Gee, I wish I was sick". Hence the name.

Remember I made this because I didn't have much meat so I used lots of cooked "garbage" vegetables and home grown tomatos and onions. ANYTHING leftover in the fridge can be added to this, NOT caulfiflower though,, or lettuce. This is a good "clean out the fridge" recipe
