Sounds good. :) I got a touch of cabin fever so made a big pot of chili this morning.

Busy day today. Made a batch of Mamou Cough Syrup, 15 jars of cha cha, smothered down a pot of okra, and cooked a Red Fish Courtbouillon.

What is in that cough syrup?

Last year we started using Yarrow tincture that I make for when we get chest congestion. Works pretty good. And it helps when I accidentally get gluten and am really sick for that first day. It calms my stomach from cramping.

We have become more interested in more natural ways to treat ourselves unless it's serious.
 
You boil Mamou seed, aka coral bean, with sasafrass roots, cinnamon sticks and sugar to make syrup. Then you can drink it for a cough or mix it half syrup and squeeze of lemon and microwaves it and drink it as hot as you can like threaflue. Opens you up. Old remedy that an old lady teached me how to make. Started with native Americans passed on the cajuns. I use to help her pick the seeds every fall. Then she have me a starter plant to plant at my house. I tell you what it's good. My wife had been giving our five year old over the counter cough meds for a week last week. One night she coughed till she threw up. I gave her some mamou syrup her cough got better and she slepted better than she had all week.

Very cool. I think I've seen that red flower by a lake near here. But I have no ideas where I would get sassafras root. I will have to write this down for future reference.

We infuse our Yarrow into vodka and then use a tsp in whatever warm beverage we are drinking up to 3 times a day. Can't hardly kill Yarrow plants!

I've seen those too! We call it mermaid flower because it's always out in the water and we don't know anything about plants. :lau

I found sassafras growing wild in my back yard, and I assume it's in the woods, too. It's easy to identify.
