Because I haven't tossed out a recipe out there in a while, I present:

Dark Secret Fire Cider*
1 quart cider vinegar
5 dried cayenne peppers
2 cloves garlic
1 chunk ginger
1 spoonful horseradish
1/4 white onion
tumeric
rosemary
sage
thyme
oregano
*

In a pot, heat up the vinegar. I advise making multiple quarts at a time, but that's me. Add, immediately, peppers, garlic, ginger, horseradish, onion. Stir until pungent. Add at least a generous spoonful of each spice. Decant into quart sized mason jars, with solid items intact. If you have metal lids, protect them with wax paper.

Each morning (or evening, or both) heat the jar in a pot of warm water for three to five days.

Put everything but the vinegar in a mason jar. Pour vinegar over. Leave in a cool dry place, shaking daily, for two months. If you have metal lids, protect them with wax paper.

Fire Cider is so-called because it's hot like fire. It's good medicine - clears the sinuses, wards off headaches, and boosts the immune system. Take a spoonful (or shot) daily. Add it for flavor (without salt or filler) to soups, marinades, and rice. Mix it with whiskey or a Bloody Mary for an extra kick.


*So-called because of a facebook conversation where I offered a friend Fire Cider in five days. He wanted to know what dark secrets I knew to make this happen.

I don't know how to ride a bike.

I would like to ride a bike. (I live in the city. Gas is expensive. It's good for my health. Lots of reasons.)

Caveat: I have a Parkinsonsism that severely effects my balance. I've tried learning to ride before and mostly hurt myself a lot. I never got off training wheels. (And I'm not biking through the city on training wheel because I have got some kind of pride.)

Research so far says: tandem bikes (I have no one to tandem with) and trikes (and I don't have $300+ to drop on a bike I don't know I can use).

I'm not asking for a solution so much as resources. A place where I can raise money for a trike? Someone who helps cripples ride bikes in the Philly area? Something?

Anyone know anything about netbooks?

I want a cheapee one to bring to Occupation and marches - just word processing and internet. Advice? Links? Anything?
