When you catch a cold in the middle of this, all you want is a big fat carton of orange-pineapple juice, and to curl up in bed.  Since that wasn't an option, crisp watermelon has been a great substitute. I've also been juicing carrots and ginger, and drinking hot water with honey and garlic. I have also been blowing my nose - a lot!

Obviously, I'm not eating my boogers, so technically, I COULD blow into tissues or TP, but that just doesn't seem right. So, I dug out my handkerchiefs. I find hankies to be the most civilized of items one can have in one's repertoire, and I do use them, but, I'll admit, not always. 


I hope you'll pardon the slight detour away from food and join me in thinking about the many wasteful ways in which we engage in life. Our culture, and the disposable product marketing within our culture, have somehow caused us to act like disrespectful assess. Booger management is just one of the many ways that we Americans could become more reasonable, and more civilized, in how we choose to live on this planet. Won't you join the Hanky Revolution?
