When I was active in our university choir, I regularly drink ginger tea because it helps to warm my throat and helps me to sing right, through my diaphragm. I drink it when I have colds and it is helping. I learned from @ruby3881 that I can used it for bath for my fever. When I did it, it made my temperature lessen so I do it regularly.

Back to school, somewhere the hinterland, when I was assigned there, our usual snacks we serve for ourselves were root crops like cassava, sweet potato (camote) with a hot ginger with brown sugar to taste. My teachers are used to it for it is the common and the traditional snacks the pupils and the native were used to eat. It is good that they are…[Read more]

We have all of the snack food you had posted sissy @peachpurple but I don’t remember the name, I only eat it not knowing the name. We also have Palitaw, came from glutinous rice. We put coconut grated meat and sugar, some put sesame seed. We also have banana que, camote que and other rice cakes.

Isn’t there any snacks that are sold on the spot freshly cooked?

@peachpurple Those look and sound yummy, Peachy! I love coconut and sardine, so there are at least two I would probably really like.

Once in a while I would follow my grandma style, dunking the cream crackers into hot MILO or coffee!

Thanks for your share

@peachpurple  Any day cream crackers. Have you tried eating cream crackers with cheese and bits of pineapple – delicious!!

Ginger has so many uses as far as I know. Usually, we use ginger in place of coffee. I remember my mother cut it into pieces and place it in tin pot. Put some water and boil it for several minutes. As soon as it is done, it is poured into a cup, put sugar to taste. We happily take a sip of hot ginger. We usually have been doing that early in the…[Read more]

Eaten in small quantities it’s very safe, but if taken medicinally it can pose a health risk to some people. If you are pregnant, take blood thinners, or have a blood clotting…[Read more]
