Something’s going around.

 

Sniffles, coughs and body aches. Flu/cold season.

Even Guiliani is getting hit. But you need not check into your local emergency room just yet. Some homemade chicken soup and matzo balls do the trick every time. Here, James Beard Winning Chef Dan Barber shares his recipe for rosemary matzo balls. A little scallions and rosemary, must lend an aromatic flavor to these.
