I'm thinking more fall, like hot mulled apple cider w/ cognac. If you're feeling festive after the first two (!!!!) top w/ real whipped cream and grated nutmeg....

I think great quantities of alcholo might be just what I need. It would be considered an internal cleansing or it might just pickle the bug. **************************************************************************** ******************* Hey Terry! I think the official drink should be the famous (or infamous) ICE PICK. The ingredients are: Ice tea (sweetened or unsweetened) 1 (or 2) shots of Vodka A slice of lemon LOTS of ice IT IS THE BEST DRINK--and it will knock that flu right out of you! <VBG> Penny inj NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
