Excuses, excuses.

I'm not copping out on my cookbook project. I just have bad timing. As soon as I decided to take this on, I developed a simply spectacular headcold, which has now migrated to my throat, chest, and any other areas that would be messy and unpleasant. Oh, I am a pretty picture, indeed. And I sound like Harvey Fierstein.

Anyone got any entertaining cures for the common cold?

EDITED 10/25 TO ADD: Just got back from the ER. Not a cold, pneumonia. Don't think I'll be doing any cooking for a few days.
