wasabi peas = sinus clearing, without the nasty side effects of decongestants

I'm so glad I remembered that!

In a sushi bar...

Japanese waiter: **plates wasabi on customer's plate** Wasabi.
Idjit gai-jin customer: Wasabi.
Waiter: **bows again, smiling** Wasabi.
Customer: Wa-sabi.
Waiter: Wasabi.
Customer: Wa-sabi!
Waiter: Wasabi.
Customer: WAA-sabi!
Waiter: WASABI!
Customer: WAAAASAAAABI!!!

(pop culture reference, dear--don't mind me)

TRUE. True.

maybe I should add wasabi peas to my sinus snuff.... can't be much worse than the garlic :)

You might as well take the time to explain.

Not for use while driving - the watering eyes and violent sneezes always get me. And then I eat more. More! MORE!!!

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

Ow.

ow ow ow ow ow

Eat, yes. Snuff? I'm cringing just thinking about it.

They don't make me sneeze, just make my nose run. Which, today, is a good thing. As long as I don't treat them like Altoids, and eat 3 or more at once. That hurt.

On a tangent...

Since I'm home during daylight today, I was going to wander outside and look for chickweed. How much do you need, and does it have to be fresh? Or can I pick and dry it for you? (That'd give more time to figure out how to get it to you.)

[tnrkitect.livejournal.com]

Hrmmmm. Sounds like they could have other uses too..... *evil cackle*

Budweiser "Whazzup" commercials, circa 1999-2000. If you still don't get it, I'll explain later. They were dumb, but occasionally amusing. Especially the online parodies.

[bladed-pentacle.livejournal.com]

heh. Nice.

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure I don't want to know.

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

You'll have to explain later.

needs to be fresh. dry chickweed has little to no medicinal value :(

On another note... John had a great idea...the parks. I ran by Roanoke Park briefly at lunch. Appears there's some around a couple of trees. Going to go really look after work. I figure if chickweed is growing, they probably haven't sprayed.

Re: On a tangent...

Parks? Ummm...not necessarily. Depends on what they were spraying for, and how specific it was. If chickweed's growing, then they've **probably** not sprayed for broadleaf weeds recently, but they could have sprayed for crabgrass and other weedy monocots.

It's probably best to assume that anything maintained by the city/county gets sprayed on a semiregular basis, because that's the cheapest (shrot-term, anyway) form of maintenance and pest control.

Gramma used tabasco in a shot glass for runny noses and peppermint schnapps for coughs.


That and an exorcism and footrub.

Re: On a tangent...

[dragonofisis.livejournal.com]

well shit...what else is considered a weedy monocot?

[cammie018.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOO, don't do it. I like wasabi sauce, but those little suckers about killed me

Re: On a tangent...

Wild onions and garlic, star-of-bethlehem (all bulbs and hard to kill), nutsedge, foxtail, other "nonturf" grasses.

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

Well, ok, except for the exorcism. And the footrub, I'm too ticklish for that.
