So, the big half-marathon is coming up this Saturday and poor Chris feels a cold coming on. He is hands-down the healthiest person I know and only days before he just happens to get a stuffed nose and sore throat. So, he is trying EVERYTHING to get rid of it. He came home today from the pharmacy with vitamin C, protein, zinc, omega 3, and a big bottle of breath-mints. Apparently, eating onion/kaviar-in-a-tube sandwich with herbal tea is a famous home-remedy guaranteed to get rid of colds. It's as gross as it sounds folks...wheat bread and two thick onion slices with kaviar spread across the top. Yikes! He thinks it's working and hopefully by Saturday he'll be feeling top-notch again. (needless to say, I've been keeping my distance...eating raw onion can get quite potent!)

Det kanske ar en Malm-grej for jag gor det med! Matt tror det ar psykologist... Om Christoffer fortsatter att kanna sig krasslig kan han forsoka sig pa ra vitlok. Det kan jag lova att det gor susen... (tom barnen har fatt ata det ibland "I don't like it, its spicy" ar da Christian's kommentar) Lukten fran en sadan kur ar forstas annu varre. Man far valja vilket ar viktigast - att vara frisk och lukta pyton eller sjukdom.

That is so funny (okay, not for Chris) because the same thing happens to Shane EVERY time. In my opinion, it is all psychological, in my hubby's case I mean.

needless to say there will be no kissing going on and its not becuase you think you'll catch the cold. That sounds so gross. But there are all kinds of random remedies out there. I hope this works. Just checkin in with you.

huva! det var en konstig huskur, har aldrig hört talas om!!! Den har någon elak släkting lurat i er att den fungerar. Inte undra på att man spyr i kurvorna när man är ute o springer. Kul att du ändå kom i mål C, bra kämpat!
