When I was very young my grandfather made me do a shot of whiskey before bed if I had a cold. I hated the taste. He said it would help me sleep. It did.
Nice. Where did he came from Italy?

Nocera Terinese(sp) in Calabria. The village is known for this crazy religious flagellant thing around Easter.

Me too. As a kid I was captivated by the whole malocchia thing. My grandmother would teach me how to defend against it, but the superstition dictated that it could only be taught on Christmas Eve.

Wonderful memories. Wonderful people
