Cold Medicine

Yesterday afternoon I felt a cold coming on -- sore neck, swollen glands under my chin, scratchy throat. That called for immediate action, so I prepared my favorite food for nipping a cold in the bud.

Raw garlic is the heart of the remedy, but who wants to eat a clove of raw garlic with nothing else? My "recipe" is peanut butter on crackers topped with garlic slices. This time the taste was enhanced by tomatoes and ripe olives.

This morning all the cold symptoms were gone.

Raw garlic also destroys warts, but that's another story.
