Coffee anyone ?

@Baymule thanks for the broth! I have a feeling that I’ll be consuming my fair share this winter.

@RollingAcres I’ll have to check out and try this Ginger “Tea.”

I also found a recipe for elderberry tea on Pinterest. I know that Bay and DV have sung its praises so I’m going to see if I can find the supplies to try making it based on this recipe. If it’s any good, I’ll share it!

I made a kale smoothie with almond milk and mandarin oranges. It has nearly cured me of further interest in food particularly smoothies. . Can I feed it to my chickens?
Kale not in the presence of salt pork or ham hocks is

When I first started reading, I was like "are you KIDDING me?!!!"... Kale? with oranges and almond milk? to DRINK?!!? Really?

Then caught "the rest of the story!" Not sure the chickens would want it either.

Skies Blue: Mix it with mash and feed it to the pigs. They will eat just about anything.

Wehner: SO SORRY ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS! Isn't there anything else they can do for you along with the pills? No cure?

Ginger tea like Rolling Acres suggested is good. Add honey if you like it sweeter. It is good for stomach problems. So is mint tea. With one of my pregnancies I existed on saltines and mint tea for months - so glad I am past all that.

Peppermint and ginger are both good for stomach problems, and might not repeat badly with reflux. Worth a try. Hope you feel better soon.

Yep. Diet craze. Supposed to take the weight right off. Tasted like lawn clippings and skim milk w orange might. You chase it with buttered coffee.

I was going to offer it to the dogs but I know they’re smart enough not to touch it. Maybe the guinea fowl. Mine at least aren’t very discriminating.

It helps you lose weight... because if that is all you have to eat.... you stop eating.

Good point A!! Lol

Btw I didn’t mention that mint is out too! I’m really limited...

 

[Alaskan]

Wow! I would have thought that mint would be nice and soothing.

@Wehner Homestead
I have nothing to offer. but hopefully the diet helps you feel better. And maybe you can let go of the pills?

Everyone else coffee is on and hot.
