recipe (we hope) for wellness

I've got my second cold in the space of a month.  This time around, I took a day off of work to recover before it got as bad as it did the first time around.  I also was reminded by my buddy Jo about a traditional cold remedy:

Chop garlic finely.  Pour yourself a glass of milk.

Put chopped garlic on a spoonful of honey.  Swallow as quickly as you can (without chewing), then chase with the milk (to cut down the burning in your belly.  which raw garlic does).

Yowza!  Let's hope this works.

    I made a nice winter vege soup - saute an onion in butter; add 8 cups chicken broth, couple of chopped carrots & celery stalks, can of tomatoes, can of tomato paste, can of corn, 10 oz each of frozen or fresh spinach, and green beans or peas; some rice, couscous or orzo. Salt, pepper, basil, oregano. boil 1/2 hr.
