Kindergerms

Lemon Boy went to preschool for two years before he started kindergarten this year. I naively assumed that this would ensure he wouldn't be one of those kids that got sick constantly in their first year of school.

Preschool plus Church/Sunday school every week is lots of exposure to germs, right?

Wrong!

So far Lemon Boy's had several colds and is now battling his second round of the flu since September.

plus now he's given it to Claudio

My sister-in-law recommends oil of oregano.

 Any other natural recommendations?

I'd love these two sicklies to get better soon and I don't want to catch it myself!

Funny,

They're sick, but not too sick to watch football , hmmm...

Moving on

I made this recipe on Saturday

I used a bag of pre-chopped cabbage
and just made the dressing.

Very strong sesame flavour (which I love!)
but if you're not sure how much you love sesame you may want to
half the oil and/or omit the actual seeds.

Dressing

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger. 

I didn't have any fresh so I used 1/8 tsp ground and 1 tbsp chopped pickled ginger

• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp dark brown sugar 

I thought it needed a little more sweetness so I used 3 tbsp

• 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 20 grinds black pepper

Whisk it all together and pour over cabbage/coleslaw mix. Delicious!

Happy Monday!
