Day 57 Onion Tea And Other Circusy Concoctions

I fully believe that we have everything we need in nature to cure ourselves of illness and today, I have used a little bit of everything. The night before last, I began drinking green tea with raw ginger, when I felt the first tickle in my throat, last night, I upped the ante and added cayenne and garlic. Today, I have tripled the tea intake and am about to add onion juice, lemon, and honey to my already strange concoction. I'm actually feeling better than this morning and think that my cockamamie remedies are working. I felt good enough to go to the grocery store for fruit and actually bought the dreaded oranges, everyone knows I hate oranges, I hate the smell, the taste...the color, but for immunitys sake, I am going to maybe squeeze some juice into my tea, along with the other stuff. For dinner, I had blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and pomegranate juice. Have I left anything out? Could I possible add anything else to my veritable witch's brew of natural medicine? I intend to be completely cured by Monday morning, to prove that there is no need for NyQuil, or Theraflu, or whatever else Wal-green's sells in it's cold and flu section. Now I just have to figure out how to get enough juice out of the onion to cover the citrus smell, I think I would rather eat a beet.

Day 49 If I Should Die In A Muffin Battle

Tonight, I am on a humanitarian mission, to create the most natural, calorie filled, chock full of fat muffin, ever baked, for an acquaintance, who is very ill. The muffins cannot have dairy, fruit, spices, or anything overly sugared, and must be soft enough to eat without much effort. So, I have thought long and hard and have settled on Avocado and Cashew butter muffins made with coconut milk and potato flour. I'm not sure if this will work because I'm just making it up in my head, I may have to make several batches before I'm happy with the results. I'm also thinking of adding bananas, as this is the only acceptable fruit and will give them a natural sweetness. If they work, I'm thinking this would also be a great recipe for the parents of picky kids, who need to gain weight. It's really kind of fun, coming up with the fattest ingredients ever, if dairy weren't an issue, I would use full fat cream and maybe add cream cheese to the batter, but as it is, this should be a gut busting calorie builder.
In other pastry news, this morning, I faced my greatest challenge yet, a new co-worker innocently brought me a cinnamon roll, which she had purchased I'm sure from a bakery on her way to work. Baked goods are my weakness and can topple all of my healthy eating, in a flaky second. However, I accepted the cinnamon roll, pinched off a couple of bites, exclaimed how good it was, and stuffed it back into the bag and into my purse, and later into the trash. Was this rude? Where does my challenge end and good manners begin? I feel that I handled it well and did not betray my mission, while at the same time, showing gratitude for a kind gesture.
