November Meeting

We met a Kathy's house this month (Thanks Kathy!). Jeanne made a delicious Pumpkin soup with mexican cinnamon. I made cinamon sugared bacon sticks (which were great crumbled on the soup!) I was fascinated by the different smells of the cinnamons (Saigon vs. Mexican). Marie taught us how to make cinnamon (or any spice) ornaments and warned against grinding cinnamon in a spice grinder. We drank Chai tea and Kathy taught us about the health benefits of Comfrey and Calendula. I even got to take a Comfrey leaf home to play with. (I did boil it and now have those healing juices in a jar.) I have to admit I have not put it on my face as of yet. It's supposed to heal rosacia.
Next month (Jan.) we meet at an Indian restaurant in Clifton to taste Indian spices. That should heat us up during these cold winter months! See you there!
