This Month’s Film: Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
Cuisine: Indian

On Wednesday evening, I asked Rene to spoil me a little in celebration of finishing two straight weeks of publication layout on a tight deadline. He arrived around 8:00, bearing take-out sushi and bad news…he was coming down with a cold. His symptoms worsened throughout the evening, and by bedtime he was miserable…coughing, sneezing, achy, feverish. So instead of him spoiling me, it soon became obvious that he was the one most in need of a little TLC.

So all day yesterday, between putting the finishing touches on my publication layout and getting my son Will ready for an out-of-town chorale invitational this morning, I made a big pot of miso soup and made sure that Rene was comfortable on the sofa. He spent the day channel surfing and napping, but when we woke this morning, he wasn’t feeling much better, so it looks like I’m going to have to resort to my secret weapon: Chicken Soup.
