diagnosis: birdnesting

I took my sewing machine for repair yesterday and I learned the technical name for the problem I am having with the unit - who knew!

Saturday In The Park

I will watch classic rock infomercials all night, every time - Saturday In The Park is a super jam!

fire cider

FIRE CIDER is a tincture and tonic, a fermented concoction of goodness that has many health benefits - I made a jar for myself this week:

fresh horseradish root from the garden - dug it up from under the snow!

into the blender with a bunch of other STRONG ingredients

blend and enjoy 1 TABLESPOON per day!  Many recipes call for simply mixing the raw ingredients and not blending them, but I actually enjoy eating the stuff.  Kiss me!

this was the recipe I used, though there are many variations out there

January thrift haul

To add to my collection of vintage health food cookbooks, two excellent finds: The Vegetarian Epicure, Book Two from 1978 (here was my post when I found book one) and another raw food "cook" book from 1980 - love these! $1 each

A true 1940s shabby chic single bed spread in a beautiful floral/berry pattern - it has a hand written history sewn on the inside naming all of the family members who owned it over the years $5

A real 80s dress in tartan polyester - ruffled side button in effect $3.00

March on, my sisters!

Be safe at today's marches, women of the world!  Pussy grabs back!  Nasty women unite!

We like spending the night at Sue's farm, but sometimes there's pet hair on the towels.

heavy nettle

There are many proven health benefits to drinking stinging nettle tea, so yesterday I made a pitcher full, and nursed it throughout the day.  Towards the afternoon I wasn't feeling so well - bloated, nauseous - then I read the fine print on the tea package: do not consume more than 1-2 cups per day.  I drank 6!  Feeling fine today :-)
