HOT TODDY PIC

I finished that photoshop course (2 hours each Friday for 4 weeks) so feel a little more confident about messing with layers. Here is one of my first attempts - an old cabinet card with sunlight effect at top left; the image was sharpened, lightened and posterised, then I added text.

For a READABLE hot toddy recipe, look at the post below.

This was fun! In time, I will improve...

HOT TODDY RECIPE


Here's a great recipe for a hot toddy, originated by my father (who used to swear by it). He suffered badly with bronchitis, and I've just got over flu - and it certainly worked for me! I slept like a log.

DAD'S HOT TODDY

  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 dessertspoonful of runny honey (or more, to taste)
  • Generous slug of whisky or brandy or dark rum
  • Hot water
Place lemon juice, honey and alcohol in a glass and top up with the hot water (boiled, and allowed to cool down a little as you don't want to destroy the Vitamin C).

DISCLAIMER
This is very alcoholic, so don't drive or operate machinery, etc etc.

Hope you are feeling better now!
