Sore Throat Tonic | After a spell of bitterly cold weather, my throat was the only thing left unfrozen. Browsing medicinal folk remedies and recipes, I settled on one concoction in particular, adding my own embellishments of ginger and turmeric to the mix.

Weighting Game | My son Kellen is guest posting in my place, sharing the findings from his recent science-fair project, for which he consulted the GNOWFGLINS Dehydrating eBook and followed lessons and instructions from the GNOWFGLINS Dehydrating eCourse.
