Hot toddy FTW- fresh squeezed lemon, hot water, brown sugar, and DARK rum. Best cold cure ever.

I am one Texan who is totally down with beans in chili. Did you cook the beans separately and then add them?

Lots and lots of beans, preferably romano and white. It isn't soup without beans!

Hot and sour soup is always a good idea, cold or not.

Driving through a Swiss city one day, Alfred Hitchcock suddenly pointed out of the car window and said, "That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen." His companion was surprised to see nothing more alarming than a priest in conversation with a little boy, his hand on the child's shoulder. "Run, little boy," cried Hitchcock, leaning out of the car. "Run for your life!"

Sounds like a good recipe; must have gotten some beans from the Bush administration. And here's one of my favorite sites for good chile seasonings: <a href="http://www.penderys.com/ter..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.penderys.com/terlingua-best-chile-reci...">http://www.penderys.com/ter...

Dok, I once heard on "The People's Pharmacy" a caller say that in his family, when you got a cold, you were fed a piece of skunk fat. No word on whether it was cooked. I could see how that might cause fewer reports of colds.

I thought I was supposed to get bread with my soup.

I upfisted you (whoo, sexytime!) on the mic drop and pho, but took points away for the tofu. Healthy, shmelthy, gimme spicy beef any day (also more sexytime, whoo!)
