Yep, that’s right you heard me. I’ve got the cure. I found it in an old recipe book. The Willow Housewife’s Handbook on Cookery, Fifth Edition, 1930. Can you believe the cure has been floating around that long and isn’t common knowledge yet? Crazy
Cure for Cold
Break 3 eggs, shells and all, and juice of 12 lemons. Let stand 3 days, then add: 1 cup honey and 1 cup rum. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day.
I’m sure there is a punchline there somewhere but I don’t know what it is.
Sounds like something my dad’s mom would have made. Growing up, she would make him walk around with a garlic necklace. The poor boy didn’t have many friends.
lmao, I thought my Dad’s Mum was bad making us rub brandy into every bruise. I’m sure we had a reputation for juvenile alcoholism from the smell of it.
Yeah it’ll probably cure the common cold but who would be worried about that after the sure fired bout of salmonella you’d catch from those three day old eggs!! I think I’d rather sniffle!
By the way, I found your blog through DadGoneMad. I’ve posted a complete list of everyone who left their blog link in a post called Blog Rolling With My Homies over on my blog, so if you want to see it come on over and sit a spell. I don’t bite..…that hard anyway!
DeeDees last blog post..It’s On Like Donkey Kong!
What’s a bit of salmonella between friend?
I’ve slowly been working my way down the homies list. Thanks for putting it together 😀
