Awsum - you almost made sweet potatoes sound good! Almost.
Gatorade makes me want to puke. I can't stand anything sticky sweet like that. I get my potassium from Braggs ACV mixed with a little honey in a glass of water when I'm outside sweating, followed by copious amounts of cool, not cold, spring water. I also love it on my daily salad. We've got a beekeper about a mile from here so it's local grown honey, which I've heard was good for allergies. Must be working because I haven't had an allergy problem in about 35 years. Braggs acv has the mother in it and I've acquired a taste for it. No more heat cramps since I started using just a couple of teaspoons a day. It seems to help with urinary tract problems I developed after radiation burned my bladder as well. I spend all day in heat over 90 several times a week and have no problems with it whatsoever. Might not work for everybody but just sharing what works for me.
I've made a note of Braggs ACV. Some nice local honey might make it palatable. Or, I could just add that black strap molasses to it and kill two birdies with one stone. Thanks!
I'm heading to New York tomorrow... it's gonna be a long drive! We're spreading my Gramma's ashes and then it'll be a little bit of a vacation. Might very well be the last trip up there, then again ya never know what the future holds.
I'm doing the very same thing tomorrow, Celti. We're heading out to Columbus, Ohio (which is my birthplace) to take care of my sister's ashes and have a bit of a reunion. Long drive for me too, but not as long as yours. Yikes!
SandySu - you're being awfully quiet. You okay?
Having a bodacious storm here. Lots of thunder and lightning and it was raining so hard that you could hardly see out the windows. I'd better quit tempting fate and turn the computer back off. I probably won't check in until after I take my sister to the airport to send 'er home. That'd be Friday, I think. I'll miss you all. *sniff*
