Joyce was right!

Ok, this sounds crazy, but I was desperate enough to try this remedy for the icky winter cold. If you coat your child's feet with vick's vaporub, and then put on socks or footy pajamas, and then put them to bed for the night, their cold will improve. No kidding. It's working pretty good over here. We had a baby with croup and went to the ER, and now it appears Brandon might get it, too, but we'll hope for the best. Right now it's all coughs and boogers.
Joyce has so many interesting suggestions. Very funny.
Don't take any of her advice for the dehydrator yet, until she knows what she's doing. Two lessons so far:
Don't dehydrate plantains unless you know how they are different from bananas. Yum. Cardboard.
Don't microwave something to make sure it's done. That's some crunchy beef jerky, that is! Much yummier than the plantains, though... :)

  1. This is funny! And useful.

    I'd love to hear more about this dehydrator sometime. Sounds like a good compliment to our freeze-dried "cooking" around here, and we loved the beef jerky our friends made.
