Sick days-MRCs

I went to Kroger Grocery store yesterday (not my normal store).  I found little bags of mini pastas for $0.39 and they weren't on sale.  Hey that is a great price no matter how you do the math. I got 3 bags of Mini alphabet noodles and 3 bags of mini wheels. So this morning while I was packing them up for longer storage, I had a stroke of genius. Soup for the kids when they are sick.  These noodles would be perfect for that.  And when Miss S is sick her restrictions on diet are pretty much gone.  So this would be a really fun treat for her to have. I kept it simple for her though.

Chicken noodle soup MRC

• 2 tbsp minced onion
• 1 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1 1/2 tsp pepper

• 2 tbsp parsley

Sinus infections...YUCK

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, but I am battling a sinus infection.  I am currently boiling salt water on the stove waiting for the steam to get up so I can breathe it in.  I have treated sinus infections for 9 years this way and only had to resort to the Doctors office 3 times.  I am not a medical professional, but I am telling you what works for me.  I also gargle with salt water to help the sore throat that comes with it.  If I am coughing tonight I will have a hot toddy before bed.

Hot Toddy

• 2 jiggers (shots) of  Whiskey 
• Tbsp local honey
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Mix it up and heat it on the stove for about 3-5 minutes. Sit back and drink it.  It will help clear the frogs out of your throat, disinfect your throat and help you sleep. NO OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY, OR DRIVING AFTER DRINKING THIS!  Don't mix with cold medicine either.

Works for colds, flu, sinus infections, and bad days.
