Garlic! Extra strong garlic bread, garlic sticks or faster if you can stand it, swallow straight garlic powder!

Reminds me of the days when my kids first started school. I swear I was sick every other month for years. I guess all we can do is be thankful things aren't worse! And treat yourself to goodies, wallowing in bed with a good book or movie, and letting others wait on you hand & foot.
