Mummy

I used a nutcracker last night, and it worked. And the nutmeg tea not only got rid of my headache, but also calmed my upset tummy and my nerves. I was actually able to sleep really well after I drank it! I'm going to have to do that more often! Plus it was yummy!

A headache is a sign that sex is on the way. Just endure it and enjoy the outcome.

Three ways to "crush" a nutmeg

I usually use a microplane grater to grate my nutmeg instead of crushing it for tea. Sometimes I get out my nutmeg grater, which looks like a pepper mill but has three big prongs to hold the seed---a weak seed can be crushed instead of grated in the mill (usually by accident). When I want big hunks, I pull out my marble mortar and pestle and bang the heck out of the seed. It takes a few hard whacks, but eventually the seed will crush.

How does one crush nutmeg?

Them suckers is hard! I grate fresh nutmeg onto my homemade eggnog and know that nutmeg is one solid seed!

The rosemary tea one I love. Been using it ever since you first told me about it. Works wonders! Now I wanna try the nutmeg one but am afraid of crushing my fingers rather than the nutmeg--though crushing one's fingers is on your list too. Hey now! Two for the price of one! Cool!
