Ginger Tea
"This is "Aunt Sally's" own receipt. Half of my family got food poisoning at Thanksgiving one year. This ended my nausea. Don't give into the temptation to add more honey or sugar, because then it doesn't work--especially if you are vomiting because sugar can make that worse. This was made with dried powdered ginger that wasn't very strong, if using fresher ginger you may use more water. Remember to sip slowly."

Ginger is used in treating upset stomache.. although I believe fresh ginger is best! A few slices boiled in a small pot of water if u must, add a lil sugar ^_^ -
Most health practioners of alternative health feel that boiling honey is unhealthful. The recipe will taste the same or better if you just add it at the end. -
I am NOT rating this on taste, only in it's effectiveness at alleviating nausea. To be honest, the taste is pretty bad, but since I am pregnant and suffering from nausea everyday, the taste is the least of my worries, as long as it works. And it does seem to work so far. Even if I have to wince everytime I sip it. -

I really couldn`t drink this. It was way to strong. I think if you make it with 1 teaspoon not tablespoon of ginger then it would be fine.Or my ginger is very fresh!

I am a stay at home mom. My kids are 11, 9, 3.5, and 1.5 My hubby is back from his 3 month internship in MA. We all went to see Boston, for some reason the people of MA don't feel the need to post rout markers on their highways. I am accustomed to knowing every 10th of a mile what highway I am on and where on it I am. Thank goodness for audio books, but if I ever have to listen to Charlie and the Chocolate factory again I may do Eric Idle some form of spam induced harm. (Just kidding don't turn me in to the men in white coats yet.)
I used to say that I have too many favorite cook books to list, but now I will have to say that Recipezaar is my favorite cookbook. We have implemented a rule at the book store, we cannot buy another cook book until we make at least one thing from the last one we bought.
I would love to move somewhere truly interesting, or at least to travel.
Don't get me started on my pet peeves. I have removed them because they were too grouchy, I really am a happy person so lets just say I think people need to think more, have more self respect, more respect and responsibility to others and to dress and behave like civilized people should. Also if you live in a big city, please let people merge on the highway.
