Angel Of the Winds Casino plans to reopen May 11

Sorry. The local fox affiliate seems to be only source at this time. Checked KIRO and the Seattle Times.

The planned opening date was buried at the bottom of the story.

Some "Sage" advice. (Crosspost)

I’ve been spending a lot of my lock down time on the patio. I have a small assortment of herbs and some lettuce growing in containers.

One herb is Sage

I plucked a leaf today and studied it because it looks much different than most flat leaves. I then googled the cell structure of a sage leaf and came upon some very interesting benefits of this plant.

Taken internally (such as a tea) the leaves provide quite a few healthful benefits:

Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Medicinal Property of Sage (Salvia) to Prevent and Cure Illnesses such as Obesity, Diabetes, Depression, Dementia, Lupus, Autism, Heart Disease, and Cancer

Abstract

For a long time, sage (Salvia) species have been used in traditional medicine for the relief of pain, protecting the body against oxidative stress, free radical damages, angiogenesis, inflammation, bacterial and virus infection, etc., Several studies suggest that sage species can be considered for drug development because of their reported pharmacology and therapeutic activities in many countries of Asia and Middle East, especially China and India. These studies suggest that Salvia species, in addition to treating minor common illnesses, might potentially provide novel natural treatments for the relief or cure of many serious and life-threatening diseases such as depression, dementia, obesity, diabetes, lupus, heart disease, and cancer. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the botanical, chemical, and pharmacological aspects of sage...more at link.

Now that you have time to make breakfast

What extra or exotic ingredients do you add to pancakes?

To the batter... I sub’d 1/4 ground flax seed with dried fruit today. Scrumptious! I also add vanilla tho hardly any recipe calls for it. Try the vanilla! You won’t go back.


On top.... Peanut butter!

Pancakes and sausage are great at dinner time too!

Anybody seen the Lysol JUUL meme

Of tRump vaping? Claims to kill Covid in <1 minute.

I got it via text from my sis but can’t post.
It’s funny and done like an ad for JUUL.

Made potato & leek soup using instant potatoes

Nearly every recipe calls for blending or using a motor boat to “mash” the potatoes to make the soup thicker.

I didn’t use any potatoes until the end when I mixed in instant Idahoans till it was the consistency I liked. Just add a little bit at a time to your already prepared soup base (I used chicken broth and milk after cooking down some leek, onion and garlic).

Topped the bowls of soup with sliced spring onions and crispy bacon bits. Was yummy!
