Geez, sorry Liz -- equal parts of honey, lemon and brandy warm. Wonderful for the throat, gentle enough for a babe in arms. (Older doctor "prescribed" it to my doctor uncle for his young daughter back in the late 1950s. Works.) Oh, and after enough of the medicine, you really don't care...

Haven't been out much in the past month or so, but I managed to pick up a cold (probably at The Press Room; sigh) and spent last week fending it off with Airbornes and Cold-Eze. Seemed to work wonders. Kept the symptoms fairly mild. Alas, swallowed enough snot that my tum's a bit iffy, though.

I think I'm really glad I've not had to participate a lot in winter this year.

Oh, cask strength Laphroaig with three finger-flicks of water in it -- brings out the flavor.
