The Toronto Santa Clause Parade.

Parade

It was so appropriate that it snowed this morning (but only for a little bit) as today was the Toronto Santa Clause Parade. I watched about half of the parade with Tony, but we worried about the crowds of people trying to get home, so we decided to leave a bit early. From the floats we saw, we were really impressed. But from the crowds of people we saw, we were really discouraged (SO many people).

Root Tea

In Botanical Medicine, I learned about this root tea that should be drunk 1 to three times a day during stressful periods.

1 tbsp chopped, fresh ginger
2 tsp powdered ginseng
1/2 tsp licorice
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Boil all ingredients in one liter of water for 10 minutes. Discard/strain any remnants. Drink one cup (about 250 mL) at a time.
