Gin Soaked Raisins

An online friend told me about something she heard to help with aches and pains .. Golden raisins soaked in Gin. I searched Google and found positive comments so I figure what the hey .. Give it a try. I bought a large box of Sunkist Golden Raisins (they MUST be golden) and a small bottle of inexpensive gin. But big enough to cover the raisins. I have a Food Saver with canisters.

Friday I dumped the box of raisins in a canister and poured gin over them then sucked the air out .. I read they need to soak for 1 week. Today, Saturday 1/2 the gin has been soaked up by the raisins. Next Friday my husband and I will eat 9 raisins a day. I've read 7 to 9 .. we will go for 9 raisins a day. I'll keep ya posted on how this works ... I'm hoping it works for my husband as he's feeling the aches and pains from all the years of squatting at work.

The letter N

If you type at anytime and have a letter that is not working, that is when you notice you seem to use it all the time. Earlier I stopped blogging due to the stoppage of my letter N .. I think it went on strike. I push it, nothing. I pound on it, nothing. I even started beating on it and it still didn't want to work. I kept saying I'd get out a can of air (can you imagine, all the air we breath and we have to buy air in a can) and spray the laptop. Never did get around it. I just kept typing away. My husband tried to tell me that it was probably part of a pop tart or some other piece of food .. I don't know why he would think that .... Maybe it was the crushed gummy bear on the laptop screen.

The N is now working as it was before it mysteriously stopped .. I'll be back with more stories, soon.
