Well I was warned of the flu-like stuff when Phil called off on having 
breakfast with us on 25 December. That's when I learned that Vicky had 
pneumonia on top of her flu woes.

NB> Pneumonia's no fun at all... is she prone to it...?

Not really, but she was supine from it. For her to go to hospital she 
has to be really, really punk. I am happy to report that after three 
days at memorial Medical Centre she is back home and close to being up 
to full speed.

My first experience with the "stranger's cold" was in 1959 when I was in
Navy boot camp. Nearly everyone in our recruit company has sniffle and 
wheezes of varying degrees of severity. Sick call was loaded - and the 
general instruction was "take two of these (aspirin) every four hours 
and report for sick call tomorrow morning". In the records it was called
an URI (upper respiratory infection) a term as ambiguous as "common 
cold".

      Title: Chicken Soup w/Matzo Balls * (Jewish Penicillin)
 Categories: Poultry, Soups, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 8 servings

      1 lb Chicken parts
      2 lg Ribs celery; w/leafy tops,
           - in 3" pieces
      4 lb Whole chicken; thoroughly
           - rinsed
           Salt to rub inside chicken
      1 lg Whole onion; unpeeled (find
           - one with a firm, golden-
           - brown peel)
      1 lg Whole carrot; scraped
      1 md Whole parsnip; peeled
      2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
      1 bn Dill; cleaned, tied w/string

  * Matzo ball recipe follows

  Pour 12 cups of cold water into a large stockpot, and
  throw in the chicken parts and celery. Bring to a boil.

  While water is heating, rub the inside of the whole
  chicken with salt. Add the chicken to the pot, cover,
  reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Test chicken with
  a fork to see if it's tender and fully cooked; then remove
  it from the pot, and set aside on a large platter. Leave
  chicken parts in the pot.

  Add onion, carrot, parsnip, salt, and pepper. Let soup
  simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

  When chicken cools, remove skin and bones and cut into
  bite-sized pieces. You can add it to the soup, just before
  serving, or save it for chicken salad.

  Strain the soup, and discard everything solid except the
  carrot. Drop in the dill for a minute before serving and
  remove. Add salt and pepper to taste. Slice carrot and
  toss into soup. Also add the chicken pieces if desired.

  Serves 8

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Matzo Balls
 Categories: Breads, Soups
      Yield: 8 servings

      1 tb + 1/4 ts salt
      4 lg Eggs
    1/3 c  Schmaltz *
    1/4 ts Pepper
      1 tb Baking powder **
  1 1/3 c  Matzo meal

  * rendered chicken fat

  ** Use "Kosher for Passover" baking powder.

  "Abe experimented until he came up with the lightest,
  fluffiest, most Jewish-motherly matzo balls imaginable."

  Fill a large, wide stockpot three-quarters full of water,
  add 1 tablespoon of the salt, and bring to a rapid boil.

  While water is boiling, crack eggs into a large bowl and
  beat thoroughly. Beat in schmaltz, 1/4 teaspoon salt,
  pepper, and baking powder. Slowly fold in matzo meal,
  mixing vigorously until completely blended.

  Wet hands and, folding the mixture in your palms, shape
  perfect balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter (they will
  double in size when cooked).

  Gently place the matzo balls in the boiling water, and
  reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove with
  a slotted spoon and place 1 or 2 in each bowl of soup.
 
  Serve immediately.
