Well, I feel the old creepy ickies coming back. I can’t believe I’m getting sick again! This is like the 18,527th time this summer. I’ve decided that I’m going to try some alternative therapy and ask my son to make some soup. He came up with an original recipe and it’s never the same twice, but it’s loosely based on this:
- Lipton’s dried onion soup base (the kind you use for onion dip)
- 2 cans of chicken broth
- onions, as many as will fit, and still have room for the canned broth
- tons of garlic cloves, as many as you can fit between the onion pieces
- a splash or two of Tabasco or El Pato, as much as you can stand
Put it all in the pot, put the lid on, and cook till the onions and garlic are tender
I don’t know which will fare worse, me or the germs. If I’m not back in a few days, you can assume that I’ve taken my stomach to soak in a vat of Pepto-Bismol.
