To serve, fill the tortillas with your desired number of shrimps, then top generously with the slaw, extra sauce, a squeeze of lime juice, and any other desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.

 

One Tin Soldier, The Valley People, The Leader & The Best Man! Heaven knows!

If you read any headline you see “Mass Protest and Mayhem continuing”…But if you look at the cities across America, what you will really see is that the American people did awake. They woke up and said enough is enough.
Just like the message in the song “One Tin Soldier” human greed and violence is futile. The American people woke up and said we have stood by long enough and watch the results of the monstrosity 2016 election as it ushered into the USA, a reign of terror, by The White House and the Republican Party, wrecking mayhem and running sinisterly amok.
Where elected officials poured out the most dangerous and vilest attacks on the Black and Brown American people, women and children of immigrants. Since the election in 2016 Americans have stood by and watched White house and their leaders in power, dehumanize Black, Brown people, children of immigrants, women, Muslims to name a few. By using, law enforcement, discrimination, acts of violence and terror and even by using tweets that say “thugs” and “when the looting starts, the shooting start, by separating immigrant children from their parents, by systematically stroking the fires of hatred and racism and thinking their actions had no consequences.
This White House and its President saw political advantage in fostering division among the American People, fueling hatred and divide, thinking they were their best weapons to maintain power only to see what they really did was cause this country to tear itself into pieces.
For what?
Remember I told you about the message in the song “One Tin Soldier” that human greed and violence is futile? Why? Because when one person, with all the power, resorts to hurting the valley people(the people of America) he does not understand that on the blooded morning after his reign of power and mayhem, has caused bloodshed of innocent people, for no real reason, there will be no trumpets blowing his victory for the blood of the people is on his hands.
And when the innocent blood of the people is on your hands, how can you stand up straight and call yourself the “Best Leader, The Best Man?” For all know that the sinning man, always justifies himself in his own eyes. And we all know, and just as heaven knows, you are not, the “Best Leader, The Best Man!”

Mucus Buster!

Another Old Fashion Remedy called the Broncho-Buster!

Sure enough, Mother knew best! From her home remedy of taking echinacea to shorten your cold, to knowing about an old-time remedy for getting mucus flowing. Let the record show, yes, Mother knew a thing or two about getting over a cold and getting mucus flowing.  

For those who don’t know mucus is a slimy substance, typically not miscible with water, secreted by mucous membranes and glands for lubrication, protection, etc. 

One of my mother’s favorite old-time remedy for dealing with mucus, was called Broncho-buster by the man who created it. It was a known treatment that was created by James A. Duke, PhD., who was an American botanist. Who was an authority on healing plants? Dr Duke developed the Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases part of Duke’s Herbal Vineyard was located in Fulton Maryland.  His Broncho-Buster was a list of ingredients that were mix well together and then slowly eaten. Dr. Duke suggested you mix small amounts of garlic, ginger, mustard, turmeric, chopped chile peppers and horseradish into a paste. Then you were to spread this paste on a cracker and nibble gingerly one tiny bite at a time. The well mixed ingredients will then make everything run. Your eyes, your nose, and even thick mucus that was clogging your bronchial tubes. 

There you have it! Another Old-Time Remedy that works.

Another Old Fashioned Remedy – Using Beer, Cinnamon & Black Pepper!

Since I’ve been stuck in the home on my Coronavirus Blues vacation, I have a lot of time on my hands to rummage through things I have collected over the years.  Old tidbits of news, letters, notes, books and those oddities you just can’t let go of.

For example, I’ve found notes my mother have written to me on just about every subject under the sun even beer, cinnamon and black pepper. Yes, there are many uses for these three items. Let’s look at what you can do with beer first.

Did you know that beer us made up of ingredients that can enrich your garden soil? Yes, it is. Just mix a several tablespoons of beer into your garden soil, do this by mixing the beer into water that you pour onto your soil. This will give your plants a boost. Also adding beer to your compost starter has boosting benefits too, the yeast and sugar in beer adds beneficial bacteria to compose.

Do you have a problem with bees in your garden or yard?  You can create a bee trap by punching a series of small holes (big enough for a bee to get in about 3/8-inch-wide) in a lid of an old glass jar. The fill the glass jar with one half beer, screw on the top and place the jar in the yard where you’ve seen bees. The bees will be attracted to the beer, crawl into the hole and can’t get out.

Having a backyard party and want to eliminate bees? Just place a few open cans around the perimeter of your yard. And woola! Bees be gone!

Don’t you just love the smell of Cinnamon?  Bet you didn’t know your neighbors’ cat and dogs don’t. Yup!  Do you want to keep your neighbors’ cat or dog out of your yard?  Just sprinkle some cinnamon around the perimeter of your yard every week.

And if you love the great smell of Cinnamon, freshen up you home with Cinnamon, by putting Cinnamon sticks in your vacuum bag before vacuuming.

Black pepper also works to keep neighborhood dogs and cats out of your yard. And it works to keep away rabbits, squirrels and raccoons away.  So, if raccoons are bothering your garbage cans just sprinkle black pepper around your garbage cans to keep them out.

Black pepper also works to keep away ants.

There you have it. Old fashioned remedies for using beer, cinnamon, and black pepper.  I bet you’ll never look at these three items the same again.

 

 

Old Fashioned Remedies that still work today! Use Steam to Clear Sinus!

My mother used to have a ton of old-fashioned remedies. I remember many of them well to this day. She had remedies for acne, stomach cramps, even diarrhea.

One of her best ones was what to do, when you were suffering from seasonal hay fever, or a stuffy nose from a head cold.

My mother would boil a pot of water on the stove and then pour the hot water carefully into an extra-large bowl, placed safely on a table.  She would then drop in a few drops of eucalyptus oil, or pine oil or even tea tree oil into the bowl, placed on the table.  Next she would then use an extra-large dry towel, that she would then drape over the head of the congested person and have them lean their face over the bowl of water at least 12 inches away from it, being “very careful not to burn themselves on the hot bowl and have them breathe through their nose.

Not only was this technique great from relieving a stuffy nose or hay fever it was also a great way to get a facial. 

Yes, it would seem “Mother” was way ahead of her time and she did know a thing or two.  Whether you need to clear your sinuses or get a great facial this Mother knows best remedy is a must try.
