Is anyone out there sick? Essentially the plague has swept over Seattle and almost every family I know is battling some type of crud. Our children have been a mess this week, and Pia is getting over strep.

Pete and I usually take a 3 prong approach to preventing and fighting off sickness:
1) Vitamins. I take high doses of C, D and go get a vitamin B cocktail injection (these are phenomenal by the way!)
2) Spicy Food. Mostly, things like Pho noodle soup with a significant amount of sriracha, 5-star Thai food or Indian food that makes you tear up from spice. You get the picture.
3) Booze. Something brown like Whiskey or Bourbon.

So I am filling in the blank on #3 today with these Blood Orange Pomegranate Whiskey Sours. Plus they are packed with antioxidants and vitamin C- kind of a win-win, right?!
