Dear LJ,
What do you get if you drink a glass of wine on an empty stomach, then have a bowl of soup, then have a mug of cider (with rum!)?
I'll give you a clue. It might rhyme with skunk.
But I have to say, after a hard-core kickboxing workout, a shower, some really good food, wine, and hot apple cider with rum, I am feeling no pain.
Oh, and I'm posting the soup recipe at
cookingupastorm. Mom has made it a number of times to rave reviews, and--proving that it wasn't just Mom's magic--my batch turned out just as good.
*happy sigh*
