My electrophysiologist told me to eat more anti-inflammatory foods to help my heart problem. He recommended turmeric, ginger, and green tea (among others).
This past week I’ve been drinking a cup of green tea and a turmeric latte daily.
I was unhappy with the turmeric latte recipes I found, so I made my own. This recipe is quick, simple, cheap, and delicious. (Don’t worry: it doesn’t taste like curry.)
I use fresh local honey as a sweetener. I buy turmeric in bulk anyway. I am partial to this brand of turmeric. And this brand of ginger.
I currently use soy milk because that’s what I have in the house, but it’s delicious with Oatly oat milk.
Turmeric Latte
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 turns freshly ground black pepper
- 1 dash iodized salt
- 6 oz hot water
- 6 oz non-dairy milk
- honey (to taste)
-
In a coffee cup add the spices, hot water, and non-dairy milk. Stir thoroughly. Add honey to taste. Enjoy.

Hehe. Turmeric is very… calming? It goes in curries, but definitely isn’t a dominant flavor, unless you put a lot.
There is also some evidence to show it does have an anti-inflamatory effect, potentially also on the brain. I read one study showing that taking turmeric regularly can delay the onset of old-age neurological problems. Also, it is good for sore throats.
I tried turmeric capsules for arthritic inflammation. My stomach can’t handle that much turmeric.
Pussy.
I don’t think you’re supposed to take it that way.
I puke in your general direction.
Why would you deliberately spill honey on a tablecloth?

I won’t post any snarky “needs more bacon.”. ?
Instead, I’ll point out that TGIF’s now carry Vegan Beyond Burgers and will also serve their burgers “green” (on lettuce instead of bread).
Nice!
I make a similar one, except I use cayenne pepper instead of the pumpkin spice. I’m told that pepper helps turmeric absorption.
I stick to pepper and milk. https://youtu.be/kNiOXhLB3cY
Finally clicked theough all your music lynx from last night. Pretty decent set you put together.
Thanks. Mazzy Star got me thinking about how many good chick rockers were around in the 90s.
Like these ladies. https://youtu.be/xBQBOeuADNk
I was in love with the drummer. If I wasn’t such a loser, I would have asked her out.
Very solid.
And of course, these lovely ladies and dudes. Had a few beers with them over the years. https://youtu.be/ZiRw0-4-zU8
I remember them! That chick had the coolest voice
Here’s a band that is a direct influence on Mazzy Star. https://youtu.be/1hGMjP2NRu0
Yesterday I was listening to So Tonight That I Might See and was struck by how well that album holds up. Dreamy, distorted, creepy and beautiful.
Yeah. It’s a classic. A great culmination of sounds from LA from the Paisley Underground, punk, goth, jangle scene. I see a rabbit hole, I may have to go down.
Kristi Callan, holy wow. Krytonite in singer form.
Not to mention pumpkin pie spice tastes like fucking shit. Just sayin’.
This is going on my list, thanks.
Along with Tundra’s variation. He can’t *always* be wrong.
He’ll just take that as a challenge.
Not for lack of trying, sister!
Overachiever?
The things I don’t know. I need me some anti-inflammatoriating. Shall try sans the non dairy milk as I have none. How about 1/2 and 1/2?
Coconut or almond milk work great.
How about 1/2 and 1/2?
I am not an expert as all non-diary ‘milk’ tastes disgusting, but since they are usually less rich than even whole milk I’d go that route, or 2% rather than half&half.
I’ve never tried it, but why not? It will be pretty rich. Also, dairy is one of those things that some people cut out to reduce inflammation.
Give it a shot!
I am into football beers now. I will give it a try tomorrow.

Hope you’re doing ok out there doc.
Needz bigger tittays.
you’re crazy. She looks great with what she has.
Superb article. And she is dead on that most of us don’t know what it is we have.
I’d venture that the more patriotic of us understand. GDCs, not as much.
It is interesting, though. I am around immigrants a lot and my recognition of how fucking lucky I am has absolutely been enhanced by their experiences.
Great article.
Chiefs.
That is all.
Saw that. Happy for you!
Thank you! I taught them everything they know.
Apparently the Saints and Rams are just gonna skip defense today.
Needless to say, I am rooting for the Saints.
Just had a bowl of lobster-shrimp chowder and am settling in to watch this game.
I think the Saints have the Rams number.
It’s early, but Brees is ridiculous.
I have Hunt on my pretend football team, so I’m with you on that. His second 3 TD game and 8th straight with at lest one. The kid’s a monster.
While not vegetarian, I’m doing a whole chicken marinated in turmeric, paprika, salt and pepper with a squeeze of lemon.
Something vegan I just put in a jar for fridge keeping. (there is probably a real way to do this but this is how I do this)
Candied Jalapenos
10 japs sliced
6 baby carrots sliced longways into 1/4’s
1 C water
1/2 C White Vinegar
1/2 C Apple Cider Vinegar
11/2 C sugar
Bring liquid to boil, add sugar and dissolve. Add japs and simmer/slow boil/reduce until mixture is bubbly and thick (couple hours or so). Jar it up and refrigerate. Top burgers, pulled pork, anything.
That looks great!
That sounds wonderful! Did you submit it?
I always forget about that. Just submitted.
Are these sweet or more on the sweet/sour side?
Sweet/hot. I don’t notice a sour at all but then again I might be immune to normal people’s sour taste.
Oh wow. I’m saving this one.
Turns out I had five jalapeños from my neighbors garden and some small yellow carrots from my garden in the fridge. There’s a half batch simmering on the stove right now.
I’m all comfy at home. I don’t want to go to work tonight. Bah! thinking I’ll grab a pizza on the way.

Mmmmmm pizza!
Now you’ll get mad at me when I say that pizza will probably be from little ceasars cuz I’m cheap and like convenience.
Nah, you said on the way to work, so you get a pass.
This time.
No problem with Little Ceasar’s, unless you insist on calling it pizza.
As long as it isn’t deep dish casserole, and it is pineapple free, no one whose opinion matters here will be mad at you.
Not my bag, but some of you will probably enjoy it: How to make Mead – Viking Blood – Cherry Mead
Thank you very Much! I’m learnin right now……
Well, not a lot of new info, but it sounds great
Somethings should not be videos. Just the recipe would suffice.
What is it with everyone thinking they need to make a video? And to top it off, most seem to be 25%-200% longer than necessary.
…most seem to be 25%-200% longer than necessary.
This is sadly bang-on. I subscribe to Mr Carlson’s Lab on Youtube and Patreon, and his videos are full of good info but could use serious editing.
Sanitize, Duh
Yeast, Duh
Remove cherry detritus, Duh
Honey, Duh
Clean filtered water, again Duh
I have never fermented anything, and I know those rules, but Cherry Mead? Hell yes..
Nothing particularly wrong in the video which is surprising. It’s pretty decent for a youtube mead class — most are full of mistakes.
Note that he is using dark sweet cherries, the most common frozen cherry you will find in the grocery store. Dark sweet cherries are notorious for producing a mead that tastes like cough syrup. I use a blend of 2/3rds tart red cherry and 1/3rd dark sweet cherry. It is very difficult to find frozen tart red cherries. So I generally used 100% pure Montmorency tart red cherry juice. Then I will use frozen dark sweet cherries or 100% dark sweet cherry juice.
I personally do not like K1V-1116 wine yeast. Lalvin 71B or RC-212 is much better (RC-212 in particular works great with cherry).
The More you Know….
Good info Kinnath, thanks!
kinnath’s recipe for beginner’s cherry mead.
2 qts water
2 qts Knudsen Just Tart Cherry juice
2 lbs frozen dark sweet cherries
1 qt (~ 2.75 lbs) blonde honey
1 pkg Lalvin RC-212 yeast.
I really want to like mead (Vikings!), but everything I’ve tried is too sweet. Do you have any recommendations?
1) Make your own.
The recipe above will ferment to dryness around 14% ABV. I normally back sweeten to semi-sweet, but cherry mead works great bone dry too.
2) Visit a good meadery.
Lots of commercial meads are sold sweet (just like lots of apple cider is sold sweet). The target audience has never tried mead, and the seller is shooting to make women happy by providing a sweet alternative to bitter beer or dry wine.
A good meadery will have some sweet products, but will also have dry, semi-dry, and semi-sweet products for more knowledgeable customers.
Kinnath’s advice is excellent.
Earlier today I had some blackberry mead that I brought back from Canada two years ago. It is sweet but not overwhelming so. It’s quite tasty.
Make your own, Tulip. It really is easy.
Third on making your own. There’s some articles in the pipeline (I wrote them, so I know) about fermentation, and making your own meads, ciders, wines, and beer.
I will watch for them.
If you can get it where you live, look for mead from this meadery. In particular, their Dry Mead was a revelation for me. Every time I go to Alberta I bring back at least one case of their Dry Mead, plus sprinklings of their Traditional (still way drier than anyone else’s) and some of their more idiosyncratic stuff. It’s amazing how good mead can be when it doesn’t taste like liquid candy.
Mmmm, cough syrup.
I just put my pajamas back on. I’m shutting it down for the day. Netflix and whiskey. And Glibertarians.

Yep. Just got back from walking the dog in the gloomy cold. Comfies and a turmeric latte.

Thrift shop!
Started drinking, I’m stuck now, maybe Tomorrow AM, good idea thanks!
I have a nice overnight bag from a thrift shop (that was a find) and you can probably find backpacks.
I won my overnight bag 30 years ago when our team won the local TV station’s quiz bowl show.
Too late to ship your clothes there I suppose.
3.5 hour drive, it would be OK if I was shipping my house…..
Id volunteer to help, but seems Ill be replacing a honeywell gas valve…
@ WebD That recipe looks interesting (minus the PP spice *shudders*) I think I might give it a try.
What’s the Oatly stuff taste like? I love milk, but I am lactose intolerant. I’m not big on soy products of any kind, so I’m looking for alternatives. I have tried almond milk, and it’s OK, it just seemed kinda sweet. I’m basically just looking for something that tastes like milk so I can have an occasional glass and also so I can start eating cereal again.
Regarding the article on the Ukrainian wife’s visit to the US: America is the greatest country in the history of the world, and not just by a little bit. What makes it great? Americans, that’s what.
Most people dont understand that. There isnt anything magical about the dirt here. What makes us different than every other country are the ideals that Americans have.
The leftists are trying desperately to destroy that.
There’s still hope, after all we can vote with our feet, i am
My Mother’s friend from Haiti always refer to America as the land of milk and honey. She was like no where else could someone like her start out with nothing but yet start a small business, send her kids to private school, and have a summer home.
It’s true. In most countries if anyone tries to raise their head up it will get whacked off. In the rest of them you simply cant because of class or guilds.
What is funny is that we are hated so much because of envy, yet none of those morons think to emulate our success.
“In most countries if anyone tries to raise their head up it will get whacked off.”
Case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
In much of the non-english speaking world it is known as the big man system. Anyone who has more than everyone else (big man) is expected to give away what he has until everyone is equal. Consequently no one bothers to acquire wealth or accomplish anything and those cultures are, as expected, impoverished.
I think a lot of the rest of the world doesn’t really understand what we have here in this country. If you’ve never been here, I don’t think you can comprehend the freedom of movement, the abundance, the cleanliness, the diversity, and just how safe it is. And all the stuff. And that stuff is relatively cheap.
What really bugs the establishment types is that their children and grandchildren have more interest in Jay-Z, McDonalds, Nike, and American English then the historical national cultural products. And that may include American ideas of individuality, personal freedom, property rights, right to self defense, etc.
I think a lot of the rest of the world doesn’t really understand what we have here in this country.
Combine that with believing flat out lies about the country.
We are Arrogant, Self Centered, Good looking, Rich, very Generous and overall really cool people.
The other option is we take over the entire Planet, and spread our “benevolence” Around the World, and I’m convinced we could
You know who else wanted to spread “benevolent” ideas across the globe ?
I am sorry to say Yusef, but you are wrong. We cant. As evidenced by our involvement in the ME we would just be polishing turds until our arms fall off.
We need to come home and mind our own business.
An elderly woman in Poland was asked about how some people decided to help the Jews escape from the Nazis, when so many Poles were helping the Germans. Her response was, “the righteous didn’t suddenly become righteous, they just refused not to go over the cliff with everyone else”.
It may be that all I can do is vote, but I can also refuse to go over the cliff with everyone else.

“The four platforms include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Police will look for patterns engaging in violent hate speech or posing threats of violence to themselves or others.”
Well, I don’t use any of them…but Xhamster history? *shudders* And as of today, includes pumpkins. Thanks to you lot. ?
Lol.
BleachBit is your friend, my friend

“Cocksuckers”. I don’t like to use that as a perjorative. It sends the wrong message to my gf.

That person probably votes, too.
Yet another good reason not to use social media.
Hell, I’m sure Facebook would be ecstatic if the government outlawed “hate speech” and asked them to help police the Internet.
That’s good for a start but really it would be more cost-effective to just train the citizens to report on each other.
It’s been a great weekend. I drove from Chicago to Ann Arbor see the Michigan ( my wife’s alma mater) vs. Penn State game. It was my first live Division 1 football game ever. The atmosphere was off the charts but it was an overall boring game because Penn State sucked. Then from Ann Arbor, we drove to Cleveland to watch the Browns vs. Chiefs. I wanted the Browns to win but it was still awesome to see Mahommes in action. And now back on the road back to Chicago.
Damn, if I had known you were in town, I would have met up with you. I was going cross town today anyways.
Did you mind the traffic ?
My wife is from Cleveland Heights! Everyone rips on Cleveland but it’s a cool place to visit especially Ohio City.
Cleveland is dope af.
Big Ten football really is fun in person. The whole scene is just a blast.
One of my biggest regrets was that I didn’t attend a Big Ten university.
While I prefer the games at my alma mater, I believe everyone should attend an A&M game in College Station, just so you can experience first hand what a cult is like.
My boss went to Texas A&M and never went to one football game. We all ripped on him for that. I think it’s partially to do with growing up in Texas and being over exposed to football. And also because he’s a damn hipster.
I spent 5.33 years at tOSU, the only time I stepped inside the horseshoe was to see a couple concerts, I hated football Saturdays, too crowded, too loud, too obvious (for lack of a better word).
I went to one game. The band was good, but that was enough.
OT: Just noticed something really weird. When I do an image search on DuckDuckGo for “NPC meme”, the first dozen or so results appear to be blocked; there’s just a graphic of a camera with a circle-and-slash symbol over it. It will show me the image if I click on it, but it’s not showing it in the main image search page. There are some real images further down, and there actually are a few sporadic NPC faces in these images. But I’ve never seen DuckDuckGo do this before… Is it intentional? Also, I checked Google and Bing image searches, and neither of them are doing this.
I see that on motherless.com all the time….nevermind.
I see it on 3 out of the top 25 or so. Weird.
Turn Safe Search off.
I don’t use Safe Search myself.
I can’t get it to stay off. I have to turn it off every single time I use DDG (or Bing and Google for that matter). I’ve always assumed it’s because I have all the do-not track stuff turned on and it can’t store the necessary cookie…but I’m only guessing. I’d sure like it to stay off.
Whoa…never mind. I mean it helps, but there are still some censored ones sprinkled through. I knew they wouldn’t let you search for sexy movies, but this is actually worse.
There’s nothing remotely “unsafe” about the blocked ones, either.
Yeah. They are completely benign. Must just because of the website they link to?
TBH, I didn’t know what it was all about. So I followed one of the censored images to Breitbart. There was a good article on the whole meme. The last sentence was spot on:
I just don’t understand it.
The normal search results list KnowYourMeme as the first result, which doesn’t make sense if they were trying to stop people from reading about the NPC meme. Yet, it’s strange that the images seem to be blocked (from preview at least).
I’ve never seen DuckDuckGo do that before. I guess I’ll check back on it in a few days.
Heh. My son just called. He has been helping me collect seed for planting…acorns, walnuts, hickory nuts, persimmon etc. I would have sworn I warned him not to store them indoors. Every acorn has an acorn weevil larvae in it. A little while after an acorn falls the larvae escape from the acorn and crawl away. If you put them in your house you will soon have a zillion little white maggots wriggling all over your floor. They are harmless, but who needs that? Store them outside.
It’s no-nut November. I thought we were all supposed to keep our seed indoors?
The banality of weevils.
Good one, Ted.
*applause*
I cant believe I let that one get past me.
