Favourite Sting Remedies??

Started out this morning by sitting down outside with the dog. Suddenly! I feel pain and movement and buzzing. Sure enough, I got stung. TWICE!! high up on my leg near my butt. That makes 4 stings this season so far.

I want your tried and true sting remedies, no matter how crazy! I hope your morning goes better than mine.

Not my photo, but my bee “friend” looked similar to this guy

Sprouts

Let’s talk about sprouts!
When you sprout seeds, you don’t need soil or sunlight, just a container and some water. (Great if for some reason you couldn’t leave your house)
Sprouts are PACKED with nutrients! A great way to get vitamins and minerals that you may not otherwise have on hand.
Sprouts are easy on the digestive system! They’re full of antioxidants. They take up hardly any space. You can store seeds (properly) for years and years, always having access to quick nutrition.
Today I made my own sprouting mix!

Garlic Scape Salt

It’s that time of year! Garlic scapes are so delicious, but after my freezer is full, and there’s still more coming, I make scape salt. It’s so easy.

Pick your scapes.


Throw them in the blender with salt (I used coarse sea salt).
After they’re thoroughly blended, spread it out on a tray to dry a bit. Pack it into a jar and store in a cool dry place. Voila!
