Two Lumps namechecked neti pots today!!
Speaking of great music from yesterday's concert (we were talking about that here, right?), I lovedlovedloved Jon Bon Jovi's duet with Betty Lavette, whom I had never heard of before, but now want to buy her albums. She's terrific! (And Bon Jovi was wonderful with her.)
Which kind of soup should I make for dinner tonight -- lentil or split pea?
The Web site for Bishop Robinson's diocese has the text of his prayer, which I think is lovely.
I'm making the split pea soup, because I realized that I don't have enough lentils for lentil soup.
Making split pea soup tomorrow. Umm using a pork rib for flavor. (Unless I can get nitrite free, don't use bacon, ham or hamhocks, cause I found that cutting out nitrate reduces my headache frequency a lot. )
My split pea soup has lots of rosemary and garlic for flavor. If I'd followed my plan and made bread today, then I'd have bread to dip in it, but I got bogged down in laundry and cleaning and forgot about the bread. Maybe I'll make that tomorrow.
My sister linked me to a pretty funny blog post about the neti pot. It has one of the youtube vids embedded.
I'm going to a viewing. I know some of the family members, but not the 22 year old son who passed away.
Mmmm, the split pea soup sounds good. I'm making beef barley soup right now. I made beer bread last night to go with it.
I have the same brand as Hil's neti pot but mine is the squeeze bottle version. I've used it twice today to ward off a sore throat. I suspect it's not actually a cold coming on but a reaction to the incredibly. dry. weather. I'm shriveling!
The whole idea of neti pots makes my nose itch. I'm sure they're very refreshing, but....ew! Water up nose!
