When I get a cold, I like to make sure that there’s lots of humidity in the air; that helps the ol’ mucous membranes do the job they were created to do. But you’re right, food’s the best start for a cold remedy.

I’m glad that spicy mexican food works for you; it’s really the capsaicin in the peppers that does the trick. Don’t you remember the chicken soup I spooned down your open mouth when you were little? (You looked like a baby robin…) Anyway, I always made chicken soup with lots of garlic (natural antibiotic) and lots of red pepper flakes, plus fresh veggies for vitamins. And look how you turned out!

Need I say more?

Love,
Granny
