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

Yazmeen
Bismillah Rahmani Rahim
As-Salaam Alaikum!
It is Spring again and the Yazmeen (Jasmine) is in full bloom.
Yazmeen is my favorite kind of tea and I have spent hundreds of dollars on pre-packaged Yazmeen tea bags.
The best can be found at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I like to make a chai with honey, milk, cardamom, nutmeg and almond extract. So good! The Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf in my neighborhood is closed due to Corona but on my walks around town I have discovered some Yazmeen plants that I have put in my water bottles and have been blessed to partake of Yazmeen Water.
It is deliciousness!
There are different types of Yazmeen. I have tried the white blossoms with a little pink that grow on a vine type of plant as well as the yellow blossoms that grow on a bush or tree.
Just keep your nose open and when you get a whiff of Yazmeen follow it until you locate the plant.
The yellow are more fragrant and yield a better taste than the white but if you only have access to the white you can still enjoy that awesome Yazmeen flavor.
If you have the wherewithal, try it in ice cream and smoothies!
As Salaam Alaikum!
Words of Advice to My People
Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
Words of Advice to My People
I advise you, my people, that, first of all, you will never be able to live as you desire – in freedom, justice and equality – until you are in your own (Islam).
Whatever profession or trade you may have, do something for yourself and your kind and choose for yourself the one religion (Islam). Islam alone will secure for you favor and protection of Allah, also universal Brotherhood.
Stop looking for anything after death – Heaven or Hell. These are in THIS life. Death settles it all.
Stop eating yourself to death by eating three meals a day. Eat once a day and eat the best food, which when eaten correctly, keeps you in the best of health. Stay away from the HOG meat. Don’t eat stale beef, chicken or fish. Eat fresh products.
Don’t eat field peas such as brown or black-eyed peas and lima beans. Don’t eat collard greens, cabbage sprouts, cornbread. Eat brown bread (whole wheat) and butter, if not over-weight, and a little cheese. Drink milk. Cook your food well done.
Pray five times a day with your face toward the east.
Love your black brother as thyself. Do good to all.
