The Thanksgiving preparations are underway at our house… the different breads have been cooked and cubed and are drying in preparation for the dressing in a couple of days. I made cranberry relish (finely chopped cranberries, oranges and sugar) and it’s in the fridge melding. Yep, melding… it’s the key to most all good soups and sauces (and people, too). Next, I have put the bread ‘n butter pickles in the fridge to chill — these are the pickles I made at the end of August… mmm, mmmm, mmm!! I got the freezer jam out of the freezer and…

My chef brother called this morning… lots of great ideas and encouragement here in my kitchen. He was interested in hearing about my visit to the doc a couple of weeks ago and was concerned that maybe I was dealing with not so much a high level of uric acid (which I don’t have) but too much acid or, rather, acidic blood rather than alkaline blood. And so… after telling him all about my talks with “my herbalist” and what I was attempting to do… he said… see? this conversation isn’t just a coincidence! I know that the LORD uses…
