Well, maybe I have a cold. Stuffed sinuses, little sore throat, and some kind of sinus headache. Of course when you have this, it is hard to talk.
So, what to do? I remember my late mom telling me she like to have some brandy when she is sick. You know I did have a little brandy from when I was last sick, that seemed like a long time ago. Well, anyway I ran out yesterday of brandy. So yesterday I went to a store, Winco was my choice, but on my way there, there must have been an accident as a cop car with lights flashing blocked off a street to the store.
So I turned around and ended up at a store called, Food4Less. I like the prices at Winco, but maybe for that moment in time I can go back to Food4Less, I used to shop there all the time. So maybe I can get the brandy there and some stuff for some chicken soup. Yes, chicken soup is good for a cold, so I hear, anyway.
Well, the way I make my chicken soup is some vinegar and some soy sauce, onion and garlic and cayenne pepper, 2 scoops of beef gelatin and 2 scoops of collagen, some wakame seaweed, chopped celery and 2 frozen leg quarters and then fill up the pot with filtered water. Then put on low heat for 6 hours. I have a gas stove, so that would be low fire.
Now after the 6 hours of low heat, I add frozen peas, brussel sprouts and bitter melon. Then turn on the fire to high heat for 15 minutes, then back down to low heat for another 15 minutes. Then of course let it set with no fire for at least 15 minutes or more.
I have been feeding it to my brother for dinner lately, he tells me he likes it. I usually read the Bible to my brother as he eats. I usually eat later on.
So back to being sick. So now I have a little supply of brandy, E & J Extra Smooth Brandy, it cost over 10 dollars with tax and CRV. Small price to pay when you are sick. Why sip brandy when you are sick. Well, by sipping it, you coat your throat with that hard alcohol and it will kill germs, but you will have to sip through out the day. So I use brandy for medicinal purposes.
I also bought garlic pills. I think I paid more than 10 dollars with the tax they have on supplements now days. Why garlic pills? Well, garlic has been well known since ancient times to fight infections. Well, that is me, infections in my sinuses and infections in my throat, plus, it seems colder than usual, but I check the room temperature and it is like before, so I must have a bit of a temperature.
Hight body temperature is the body's mechanism to fight infection.
Of course when you are sick it is also good to have a good dose of vitamin C everyday.
Well, hopefully I will beat this cold or flu, God willing.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 1 Timothy 5:23.
