Dr SO my partner tries to make me drink the garlic & ginger & lemon thing. Euch. Makes just having the cold look good. Personally I leave the garlic out and enjoy myself.

I think unconsciousness solves that problem…

The only possible problem I see with this cure is that you could never be sure when to stop taking it.

Wot Naomi said, but alternate mouthfuls with the best whiskey you can afford. And now I know to watch the hat! Great post.

Excellent recipe. I think it was Seinfeld who once said that everything tastes better with cinnamon. Words to live by.

a damnably good recipe Nabs, the only possible way of dealing with colds when you are on your lonesome.

I have a friend’s recipe which ensures you will stay on your lonesome. It goes like this: take a mortar and pestle and grind up a chilli with two cloves of garlic (the thing that ensures lonesomeness) and a square centimetre of ginger. Add the juice of a lemon and enough hot water to come to the top of a smallish glass. Swallow it as quickly as you can. After you recover from fainting, you may or may not feel better. You sure as hell won’t be fit for work.
