My mother's remedy

The remedy that my mother uses to defeat flu is: hot homemade bread, garlic and bacon…we would sit in the evening and have that for dinner.. and as much garlic you eat she would be happier (and we would need to be sure that nobody is coming for a visit when we do this kind of cure).
With the weather we had in the last days in Lisbon, and all the people around me coughing and sneezing, I remembered my mother’s remedy. And.. it tasted good!!!
We are still good, nobody sick at home, so I guess it works!!!

O remédio que a minha mãe usa para derrotar a gripe é: pão quente caseiro, alho e bacon…costumávamos sentar-nos à noite e comer isso ao jantar.. e, quanto mais alho comêssemos, mais contente ela ficava (e teríamos de nos assegurar que não haveria visitas quando fizéssemos este tipo de cura).
Com este tempo que tivemos nos últimos dias em Lisboa, e com todas as pessoas à minha volta a tossir e a espirrar, lembrei-me do remédio da minha mãe. E.. soube tão bem!!!
Ainda estamos bons, ninguém adoeceu em casa, por isso acho que resulta!!!

  5. Wow I don't even eat meat, but your photos are lovely. And I recall bacon fondly, so I'm sure this is quite the mood-lifter ;).
