Cayenne
Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
As Salaam Alaikum!
I just found out that Cayenne clears the arteries of plaque! I’ve put it in my Bean Soup before but I am not really one for spicy foods. However, I’m sure just a tad in your foods – not enough to make it hot – but just a little can help clear up your arteries and improve blood flow.
Pragmatic vs Practical
Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
As Salaam Alaikum Beloved
I have a degree in Journalism and have always had an intense love affair with words.
I love them and they love me!
I love the ones that sound melodious like music. Say “applicable” or “palatable” out loud. “infallible” “antagonistic” “scarce”
You just sound intelligent using these words. Ivy League. Knawmean?
Pragmatic vs Practical
The key difference between pragmatic and practical is their usage; pragmatic is mainly used to refer to a way of thinking whereas practical can be used to refer to people, concepts, objects, etc.
You can look up the definitions yourself! 😉
Jazzmint & Lovenade
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Asiatic Black Sisters & Brothers!
Summer is upon us and it is the perfect season for some of my favorite drinks. Staples in my M.G.T. kit are: Fresh Mint Leaves, a Lemon, Jasmine Green Tea, Honey and Zanzibeer (Ginger).
You can combine them all or just a few of them. The JazzMint, as you can probably guess, calls for Jasmine Green Tea (Coffee Bean has a good blend; I have also tried to use the petals of real Jasmine, but I couldn’t get it strong enough) and Fresh Mint Leaves. I like the spice that the Zanzibeer adds also. I can’t brew it, so I’ve been using the powdered and it’s aight.
FYI some Jasmine flowers are also Orange Blossoms. Come back in a few months and you might find oranges on that Jasmine Tree. 🙂
The Lovenade is Lemon, Zanzibeer, Honey and Water.
They work hot or cold. I had to stop drinking coffee in the mornings, black tea and even Hot Chocolate Milk & Honey because of the caffeine. But these (JazzMint and Lovenade) are excellent replacements if you like a warm drink in the morning.
Plain hot water is good and Lemon Water is perfect as a morning beverage. You can feel it going down your esophagus and cleansing your entire digestive system.
Although, it is BEST to just have your one meal a day at four or six p.m. and nothing like food until the next day at the same time.
Bar-b-cue some eggplant, mushroom, onion and bell pepper skewers to accompany your daily and delicious Supreme Bean Soup and put a pitcher of JazzMint in the freezer two or three hours prior to breaking fast. They will be sweet, slushy and refreshing on the patio with your Supper.
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum
