Dinner was compliments of "The Country Cook" a casserole called Cheesy Chicken and tater tots. The hardest thing about the recipe was cutting up the chicken and it tasted pretty good too. I love our new crock pot too! It's been a little while since we've had one.
I was hanging out at Herbmentor.com earlier and watched a plant walk video done by Jim McDonald and it was definitely an, "Ooooooh." moment. This particular video was a plant walk vid about Elder and turned into so much more. He spoke about how the body functions through a fever and what certain herbs do for the body, and that "diaphoretic" means so much more than it's description. Diaphoretic means that it helps let out the heat, in other words, it helps to relax the system (blood vessels) to enable the flow of heat to get to the outside of the body. I have been paying attention to the fact that most herbalist promote supporting the body through a fever not so much killing the fever because alot of "germs" are killed by an elevated temperature. The fever is the body ridding itself of these invaders and is a natural process. Very interesting and so grateful for the folks at herbmentor for giving me an affordable way to study!
