I make chicken soup:
4-5 gloves of garlic
1 or more tbsp or more of cayenne pepper
3 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
one bunch finely chopped parsley
lemon zest from one lemon
12 + oz chicken broth
6 oz beer or white wine or sake
1 breast or 2 thighs
Bring to light boil for 20 min, pull out meat chop it put back; simmer for awhile. Throw in some coarse crushed egg noodles and a few twists of black pepper.
Light squirt of the lemon ya skinned, eat as hot as you can stand.
You'll sweat like a pig, but its great and it works. Do this for all meals (2/day) for 2-3 days. Scorched earth for invasive organisms.
I am serious, been doing this for years. I make occasionally when I'm not sick. Once in awhile its fun when the meal bites back
I'll make hot toddy's and you make chicken soup LOL We may not get better but I bet we'd have one helluva time! Oh and look at this very pretty girl.
