I actually enjoy salt *shameface* and I try to get a fair bit of it into my diet. I get weird leg and foot cramps a lot (BF does too, but in other spots) and whether or not lack of salt IS a real factor, it certainly seems to help me. I don't eat much processed food, so I'm not getting tons of sodium through that kind of stuff. .-= eemusigns´s last blog ..Quitters =-.

This is a little off topic, but when I was in highschool musical theatre, the entire cast came down with colds/flu and many of us lost our voices. A local, semi-’famous’ singer taught us this recipe (and it works great!):

I don’t have the amounts, but this is the general idea per serving (she actually mixed up a HUGE batch in a mason jar but I make it by the dose)

- Tbsp or so of honey
-pinch of Cayenne pepper
- ~1/2 tsp. lemon juice
- ~1/4 tsp. diced ginger

mix it up and down the hatch it goes, will soothe and coat a sore throat. Okay, not a cooking recipe but if you have all the other stuff on hand, it might come in handy this cold and flu season

@Little House: I actually like salt, but lemon really seems to change my thoughts about it! @jennifer: Lemon juice and olive oil? I will have to try that. I tend to like the umami flavour of soy sauce.. hence why I mixed it. @Jillian (back to the nest): I am not a fancy cook either, but I am picking up a few tricks from BF, who is the real master chef in the home. @That Kind of Girl: Russia? You need to write a post about that, girl. @Vanessa (Last Night's Leftovers): Any time! Hope it helps. @SeeJaneGetRich.com: I haven't heard of mori sauce, but I want to check it out now. I do like spicy sweet sauces

I have a bag of tilapia in the freezer and I have been taking out one or two every week. Since tilapia is so bland tasting I have been experimenting with sauces a lot. I can’t wait to try your soy + lemon juice combo to see how it comes out. One combination I really like is this:

Mori sauce + teriyaki sauce + crushed red pepper = sweet yet slightly spicy sauce with a kick of teriyaki that’s perfect for tilapia

Oh man, a mug of red tea with some ginger in it sounds so good right now. I used to drink this every day when I lived in Russia, years ago, but have totally forgotten it. I'm totally picking up the necessary items on my way home from work. .-= That Kind of Girl´s last blog ..The Kind of Girl Who … has hair so greasy you can fry bacon in it (TMI Thursday) =-.
