For the last three days, I've had an off-and-on headache, which is not terribly unusual. For the past couple days I've had quite the sore throat, which I blamed on ragweed pollen. Yesterday there was much dizziness and stomach unhappiness, which often goes along with my migraine headaches. Today's weather is much warmer than usual and I am sitting here shivering with cold.

Ah. So it's that kind of oogieness after all.

unwilly the Virus Vector is all the way out in California. Can I blame him for this anyway? (Just kidding, Un! I'll blame gremlins instead.)

HeY!

What exactly does the butter do? I know a number of other hot drinks have butter in them, but it tends to be for flavor.

I'm not sure exactly what it does, but it's something we picked up from Fadi's mother (who is chock full of little home remedies - some effective, some silly). It does add a nice taste, but I've noticed it is soothing for a sore throat. Oh! And I just remembered another one, to help a sick tummy drink mint tea. Especially if you have a tea strainer and dried mint flakes or leaves. :-)

Maybe it coats the throat, soothing sore throat, and helping to retain the heat of the tea to further sooth the area.
