I´ve come down with a nasty bug this weekend.
my boyfriend was sick and I stayed with him at his house to care after him, and for the second time in our relationship, we cant's stop ourselves from sharing love germs.
I'm happy to say my tender love and care nursed him back to health.
so, while he went to the shop to get us some goodies for us to cook dinner, I stayed cozy in the sofa wrapped around a mountain of blankets, with ice on my cheek (yes, my tooth is acting up again...) and warm salt in my chest (I'll explain further) for the cough and pain.
he came home with a bag of groceries and romantic chocolate to bright my gloomy day.
made me melt like a lollipop on a summer day.
I love you my dearest.
now... the salt in the chest:
when I was in England I became very ill with something very similar to this pesky bug. fortunately my friend's boyfriend was studying to be a doctor, so we quickly knew what ailed me and gave a Lithuanian home remedy called a warm poultice, or a cataplasm as it is also known, made out of regular household items.
this can be used to relieve pain, inflammation and accelerate the process of healing.
Lithuanian Salt Poultice Recipe
1 cozy sock
1 packet of table salt
1 frying pan
1 spoon
Preparation
pop the salt on the frying pan and stir smoothly with a spoon.
continue doing so, and touch the salt with your finger now and then to see how hot it is.
when it reaches the point where it's too hot to poke it, slide the salt to the sock with the spoon.
secure with a knot in the sock and put it on top of your chest over your clothes.
and relax.
see you soon my dearies,
xoxo
