i'm minimally famous again

Most of you can't see this, because it's behind ESPN's INsider subscription service, but Chris Sheridan publicly thanked me for sending him my mom's sore throat remedy:

Many thanks to all who e-mailed laryngitis remedies after my last blog entry, especially to Ron Echeverri in San Jose, Calif., whose microwaved lime, honey and water method actually provided temporary relief.

I didn't say anything about water, though.  Ah well.  The remedy follows: take a small amount of honey, nuke it until it's very hot, squeeze half a lime into it, and sip a teaspoonful at a time.  It must be as hot as you can stand it, and you must sip.

Woot woot! Good job.

Groovy! Honey is the best sore throat reliever ever.

Is there some way that you could tie this nostrum in with Kabbalah and/or Scientology? You'd make a bundle in Hollywood.

Are you positive you didn't leave out the whiskey?
(Congratulations on being famous!)

Whiskey?

Considering it's Ron, it would either be Tic-Tack or tequila.

¡Multirectificado!
