Yup, 'tis most definitely the season for coughs, runny noses, fevers, colds -- the "ickys", as we generally refer to the symptoms. Theoretically, most of these ills take a week to get over, or seven days if you choose to medicate (!). What your grandmother told you is true, though; nothing cures the ickys like a liberal application of chicken schmaltz. Preferably in some simmered-all-day-on-the-stove homemade soup. And the heart-shaped noodles really do make all the difference. Slurp.
