On Wednesday, I had a fever of 104 degrees, the highest of my adult life. My temperature has been down since yesterday afternoon, though, so I know I'm getting better. I want to thank all the readers who have been wishing me well. Your suggestions have been very inspiring. My favorite: "wild oregano oil in water. Several times a day," for its "antibacterial and antiviral components."
I've spent much of the past 48 hours asleep, but I'm still exhausted. Whenever I was out of bed I was sipping a tea brewed up by Santa Maria. She calls it her Health Tea because of the curing properties of chamomile and honey as well as the Vitamin C in the lime juice. I call it tasty, and plan to continue enjoying it after I get better.
On Monday I expect to have a guest post by a father who uses his iPhone to manage his shopping list. Anyone else out there turning to technology to make the domestic life a bit easier? I'd like to hear your suggestions. In the meantime, have a great weekend, and savor a cup of this tea to stay healthy.
Santa Maria's Health Tea
- 1 bag organic chamomile tea
- 1 spoonful raw honey
- 1/2 organic lime, juiced
Boil water, brew the tea with the honey and the lime juice.
I use springpad (http://springpadit.com) to keep track of recipes, organize my weekend cooking, plan menus and put together shopping lists. I have been searching for good recipe tools for a few years, and this is by far the best I’ve found.
I highly recommend the Hot Toddy. Cures most ailments.
I use a simple mix of:
– straight hot water or chamomile tea
– bourbon
– half a cinnamon stick
– honey
– juice from one fresh squeezed lemon to taste
– a few whole cloves
Great to hear you’re on the mend!
