Hello and welcome to my weekly roundup of posts, you may have missed during the week…I hope those of you who are experiencing snow stay warm and if you have to drive heed the weather warnings and stay safe…the heat has turned up a few notches here which means walks have to be done early before the heat rises and later when the sun has gone down…

Maprao is coconut. Pao is a young coconut roasted in a fire; later, the burned dark part is removed to keep the centre. So it is quite small. You drink the juice; it is the BEST coconut juice ever. I keep seeing these little coconuts at the market and asked my daughter-in-law what they were…now I know this video shows how they are roasted…

I hope you enjoyed the video of this traditional method of roasting young coconuts.

Cher Ami what a heroic little pigeon…

Cher Ami is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History to preserve his
memory. Since then, his story has lived on in the hearts and minds of Americans across the
decades and his bravery will never be forgotten.

The reason I shared this was prompted by a comment from a friend on social media(FB) her question was “Why after 3 days has this post got no likes or comments”…If you read post you will of course-smile-hear my thoughts on this-smile-

The Natural Antibiotic I showcased this week was ACV or Apple Cider Vinegar a staple in my home with many uses ….Music was again provided by Bocelli and this time his collaboration with another favourite of mine Pentatonix…Fabulous…

Smorgasbord Health…The Liver.

I have always had a smattering of knowledge as to what was where in my body and the functions of any said organ however as I have got older and have more time on my hands-smile-I have found a new urgency to know more and if possible give me and my family the best chance of staying disease free with good mobility always a plus at my age-big grin-plus there is so much we can do to help ourselves…

I am an advocate for eating good food, in season and for keeping our bodies as chemical-free as we can all things you and I can control…after all it’s our hands who hold the fork …

This is why I find Smorgasbord Magazine a great starting point…I trust my friend Sally as she has the knowledge and experience in nutrition.

Thursday Thoughts…24th March 2023…Cher Ami a hero, Natural Antibiotic, Apple Cider Vinegar,

 

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts this week has been busy in my mind so many thoughts and so many rabbit holes either from posts, social media or just browsing…the temperatures are rising and it’s 28C as I am typing at @4.55 am this morning…I hope everyone who celebrated St Patrick’s day had fun, laughter and good food…Riverdance was well received I didn’t realise how very popular it was…Lily arrived yesterday and the first thing she had was a Hersheys Chocolate Burger…

Nannie had the tiniest piece to try and it was ok…dripping with chocolate sauce, and a chocolate bun but it wasn’t as sweet as I imagined it could be and Lily liked it…Aston just pulled a face as I knew he would and declined-smile but he is a savoury person rather than having a sweet tooth …I just wanted to try it because I could-smile-

Cher Ami what a heroic little pigeon…

Where is Cher Ami today? Today, Cher Ami is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of
American History to preserve his memory. Since then, his story has lived on in the hearts and
minds of Americans across the decades and his bravery will never be forgotten.

The reason I shared this was prompted by a comment from a friend on social media(FB) her question was “Why after 3 days has this post got no likes or comments”

My thoughts are it’s not a cute cuddly panda, kitten or puppy and it’s not a post that anyone who trolls would get any traction from…Sad but true of Social Media…However, it doesn’t make Cher Ami any less of a hero…

Throughout the world, nations have become dependent on antibiotics resulting in drug dependency plus the fact that we now have drug-resistant bacteria and other “superbugs” that keep evolving faster than scientists have time to research, making it hard to fight them off…

It’s time to listen to mum or granny as our ancestors used many different foods and herbs that are known to defend your health, rid infections and stop diseases from spreading. In fact, many holistic doctors still practice these types of antibiotic treatments instead of resorting to pills… today I’m looking at something many of you will have in your kitchen…ACV or Apple Cider Vinegar. With its antibiotic and antiseptic properties, ACV can help in weight management, and lowering cholesterol… ACV can also be used as a chemical-free astringent if you need to topically disinfect or sterilize a wound…if I think I have even a tincy tiny chance of a sore throat coming I just add a little ACV to a small glass with a little hot water and fresh honey…

Taking a shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning on an empty stomach is one practice that many wellness gurus claim helps you lose weight, reduce hunger, and remove toxins from your system…You don’t even have to drink apple cider vinegar to reap its wonderful meat-tenderizing benefits…it is also a great house cleaner and I mix some with water and spray my plants and it gets rid of any little bugs, especially on my chard and curly kale…

Music today is from Bocelli (again) another duet…
