MAMA DEAN

Sam stirred awake, mumbling fretfully. "Dean," he croaked.

Dean grinned. "You sound like a frog, dude," he said sympathetically. "Your throat still sore?"

At Sam's nod, Dean picked up a cup from the bedside table and held it to his brother's lips. "Here, this'll help."

Sam took a couple of cautious sips. "Feels good. What is it?"

"Lemon, honey and cinnamon. Lady friend told me about it."

Sam took another swallow, sighed blissfully. "Nice."

"Your fever's broken, too."

"Hmm." Sam snuggled into his pillow. "Thanks, Dean."

Dean settled comfortably back in his chair, ready to keep watch. "My pleasure, Sammy."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Juice of one lemon, teaspoon cinnamon, honey to taste and water to meld. We call it a Lemon Shock. Kicks ass. Great for colds and sore throats. Two to three cups per day. My family swears by it.
