The Wrong Side Of A Car Accident
I feel like the wrong side of a car accident. The reason is depicted above. A rather potent virus of some kind is floating around Ljubljana and I seem to have caught the bug. Not that I’m the only one. Apparently the more attractive part of Les Canadiens caught it, as did half of the Ministry of foreign affairs and the mayor of Ljubljana. Lovely…
In the mean time, things are happening on the political scene, but they’ll have to wait. Suffice it to say that we are about to enter the eye of the storm…

“Sorry to hear that” and “me too”. But I do have something for you: The more attractive part of Les Canadiens left it on my blog, to spread some optimism, I guess. I bet you’ll like it:
Traditional Scottish Whisky Tottie
Well Matured Scotch Whisky - (2 fl oz)
Boiling water
Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Sugar or Honey - 2-3 teaspoons
In a mug, dissolve sugar or honey in 1/2 cup boiling water. Pour in 1 -2 shots of whisky, add lemon juice and stir.

@Mr P: Get well soon & see you soon. Man Flu is the worst. Are you listening ladies?
@Alcessa: I’m sure your recipe works a treat, but I can’t help feeling it’s sacrilege to water down a fine, well matured whisky. For any reason!

Adriaan: I always do that. With mineral water. Kill me
but it’s the only way to appreciate the taste…

@alcessa: AAAAAARGH! How CAN you!
There are only two things that you can put in a dram of whiskey: water or more whiskey.
Unless of course we’re talking about Ballantines. That’s not a real whiskey
@Adriaan: Working on it. Fast.

Does the recipe work as a measure of prevention as well? Malt wine seems to be doing the trick for me?

whoops, mulled, not malt wine… a slight difference in alcohol content there

Getting well quickly, aren’t we?
Let me help you some more: of course not Ballantines.”The Famous Grouse” it was. Last time. OK OK, let me console you: the amount of whisky I drink is negligible. Really.

My Scottish friend James urged me to have a Tottie when I was ill. With REAL whisky (Macallan, Highland Park, Glenmorangie…) Famous Grouse is good with Coke (check out Café 33 in Leuven, Belgium, when you’re even in the neighbourhood) Hope it helps! Get well soon, P, and take care of yourself. You have less than a week…

@Mr P (& Dr Fil): You might get a chance to try a REAL whisky (Dalwhinnie) sooner than you might imagine. Without additives, of course!

If this is the kind of bug, that forces you to a great friendship with the toilet I had it, too. However, home made Gin (brinovec) does it for me.

So you were calling Barf on the porcelain phone as well?
Brinovec… I heard about that… I just couldn’t force myself to do it.
