For the past several days I've had the mother lode of colds. You know the kind. One of those sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, feverish affairs where your eyes won’t stop watering and your head feels like it’s locked up inside a steel drum. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I feel this way, all I want to do is sit on my pathetic, sick butt and let certain other people wait on me hand and foot, (like I do for them when they’re sick). Yeah, right! Like that’s ever gonna happen!
Wouldn’t it be nice, though, to at least have some delicious, hot, homemade chicken soup to slurp up? You bet your a$$ it would! But, that can take hours, and frankly, when I feel this crappy, I just can’t be bothered. What if I told you that I’ve found a way for you to have a whole pot of nurturing, comforting, restorative, delicious, made-from-scratch Jewish penicillin in under an hour? Would you be interested? Well, this is your lucky day, because I am about to show you how! I promise that if you’ll keep an open mind, your sinuses will soon follow suit.
