I was at my desk late last night as our Russian cleaning crew made its rounds. They are very nice people and one of the women heard me coughing and suggested a remedy. Onion tea. "Like onion soup?" I asked. "No, no put onion in boiling water for a few minutes and then add lemon and honey."
Then she started down the hall and came back to add, "Use red onion."
I guess I should have known that.
Maybe I'm a closet Czarist because I was thinking white onion.
Not that I’m getting excited or anything, but we are getting close to the big day.
Happy 70th Birthday!
