Oh dear, oh dear! Hardly a nice souvenir to bring back from your honeymoon. Do you need any chicken soup? Or have you already got a recipe? (I read once that it has natural interferon, an anti-viral…)
This toddy recipe sounds wonderful, flu or no. I hope you have a hot fire at your toes to go with it!
This is so similar to our tried and true cold & flu remedy. I think it’s the honey that has medicinal properties. Then again… it’s hard to argue with cognac as an active ingredient! In any event. It works! 🙂 John

I think it’s everything: the lemon, the honey, the cognac, the heat–one of those ‘the whole is greater than the sum of the parts’ things. A good hot toddy is one of the few, if not the only, perks of being sick. ‘Hope you’re not sick.
A Continuing Story of Great Food and Tempestuous Love
Episode 36: Oh, Promise Me!
Sam is right. There is on this wedding day unprecedented music in the spheres.
Blessed by chance and fine ingredients, swept up in the power of love and good cooking, bound together by the certain glory of a life to come, Harry and Sam pledge each to the other the tag ends of their earthly days.
Harry's mother sighs; Sam's sisters cheer; their friends weep for joy, struck by the light of love shining in their eyes.
'Oh, promise me,' their butcher's niece, a voice major from Julliard, sings.
And they do.
The End.

As a matter of fact, we don’t have a good recipe for chicken soup. Can anyone help?
