Rosemary, perfumes soaps and moths

Banish moths with fresh rosemary!
Place fresh rosemary amongst your woolen clothes (refresh every month or so) and rest easy that your best will not become moth food!
Another moth recipes I love is a way to use all those little soaps you get end up with after Christmas- I love to place slices of those smelly little gems (that will never touch my face) amongst my closets and drawers! Fresh and also the moths hate them!

Ginger Tea

very simple- trim the skin off of fresh ginger, slice into paper thins pieces and throw in pot.
Bring pot to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes- again my measurements- all to taste- more ginger longer steep time stronger tea.
Pour liquid into mug add lemon and honey and voila!
Excellent for detox, colds, and also can aid with nausea and travel sickness

Clean windows

I discovered this by accident in my brothers' garage- he uses it to spotlessly clean his vehicles!
Available at Costco 'Invisble Glass' by stoner!
This stuff leaves no marks, removes the grimiest of dirt and is so fast!
Voila!

Fried Strawberries

This is delightful! Very simple---
measurements are to taste
take some fresh cleaned strawberries- halved
heat olive oil throw strawberries in and cook until soft (great way to use up some berries that have gotten a touch too soft to use as best presentation fresh berries!)
crack fresh pepper over and add a touch of Grande Marnier.
serve as is- or on vanilla ice cream!
I had this again recently at Ginis Restuarant in Edmonton after many years- I have made it at home many times to the gasps of shock and then delight!
