I have a bad cough from some kind of cold the wife brought home . You should have seen me trying to shave , took about 30 mins.The wife made the strangest noises coughing and laughing at the same time . No chest congestion , only a dry cough with no phlegm . Right now I have some double Earl Gray with honey and a snort of Jim Beam Green . Sorry was out of Rock and Rye . Could shure use your recipes right now .
