Garlic Tea and Garden Planning

So we've had this little bug going around at our house for a couple weeks. Every time we think we're over it, and venture out in public, someone ends of feeling sick again. So we decided to make a big batch of garlic tea yesterday, and make everyone drink some, in hopes that it would wipe out our nasty little bug once and for all.

So I cut up some garlic. A lot of garlic. Nearly two whole bulbs, actually.

 I put it in a cheese cloth over a large pan, and pour hot, but not boiling, water over it.

Then I covered it, and let it steep for about 15 minutes.

I wouldn't normally let it steep that long, but I had this pile of dishes to do before I wanted to move on to the next step. This is one meal worth of dishes, y'all. One small meal worth of dishes. We're one big family.

And our dishwasher isn't working right now.

I took the cover off the tea, and it looked like this:

The I added some honey and apple cider vinegar.

Then I poured it in cups, and we all had a lovely cuppa tea.

In case you're wondering, we're still not all better. But we're hopefully getting there.


This is what I did this afternoon:

Seed inventory folks. We're planning our garden!

It turns out that we have quite a few more seeds than I realized.

Well, Goodnight y'all, I off to make some cookie dough and wait for the littles to go to sleep.
