What??? That is sort of an important difference 

I bet that tested your heart 

To be totally honest I was flaming mad!

Something for you sore throat!

True, marshmallow root has anti-inflammatory properties, but I've heard that eating candy marshmallows can also provide relief. Although candy marshmallows were originally made with mallow root, modern recipes no longer use it. Maybe something in the egg whites is responsible?

Hmmmmm... thanks for the clarification  

I liked Page's suggestion better

Here's some soothing tea for you.  Just add honey and lemon  

Don't forget to add a healthy shot of whisky ...

Marshmallows have anti-inflammatory properties, so I hear. Apparently they can do wonders for a sore throat. 

Different sort of marsh mallow, herbal not squishy.

Oops, my WS already pointed that out.

Still warm and muggy, 79/26° with 89% humidity. We've also had the first heavy rain shower, more expected.

Blessed be y'all.

It's still muggy here and quite windy.  We got some thunderstorms last night, but thankfully nothing like the one last week.  The temps have dropped quite a bit, so it's quite nice despite the mugginess and wind.  I got up early and went grocery shopping.  I managed to score some disinfectant wipes.  It's the first time I've seen them on the shelves since the pandemic started!  I plan to do some baking today, and also take some more pictures.  I'm also ready to start Chapter 4 of my new story.

Or even better: whiskey.

(Irish whiskey has a much less harsh taste than Scotch whisky, so shouldn't aggravate that ticklish throat as much.)

And then there's bourbon whiskey or rye. Plus the tea and honey will open up the scotch.

Muggy here too, and windy. Lots of rain last night... and thunder and lightning. Morning, bro and Mum.

Hey, Val.   I had quite a storm here. It was exciting. Happy writing.
