[thechat] Tom Yam Gai soup (was: rationality is not enough)

[Ashok Hariharan]

I use a rum tonic for colds :

A cup of hot water
+ two teaspoons of honey
+ 1 1/2 pegs (3 tots) of rum (this is the most critical ingredient)
+ a bit of crushed crushed ginger
+ (non mandatory) disprin / lemsip / hot beechams

just gulp it down before sleeping, when yu wake up in the morning you will
be
fine.
Get a strong variety of rum, not the garden variety -- the most effective
one that
I have tried is an indian brand called "old monk" military issue,
unfortunately i cant easily
get hold of that in kenya.
