The Flu

My husband got the flu, then my cousin, and now me. I guess there are widespread cases across Chicago, and we got to be the lucky ones! What are your flu remedies?

  1. Oh, get well soon, Denise!!

    Press a lemon, fill it in a glass along with some ginger bits, fill the glass with boiling water and then put much honey (!!) in it.
    Sage tea with honey always helps for a sore throat.
    And if you aren't a vegetarian: Definitely Chicken soup!!!
