Where is my Honey?

Honey is a staple. When you are feeling tired or have a sore throat you mix a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (another staple) together in about 8 ounces of water and drink it. Once upon waking and once before bed always did the trick for me. One thing, though, you have to be careful and read the labels on both the honey and the apple cider vinegar before buying because they have apple cider "flavored" vinegar and syrup with honey "flavor" -- even the "honey" KFC gives out with the biscuits isn't real honey. Did you know that? The staple we never keep on hand is ketchup. We eat it at a restaurant sometimes but never have it in our home. Mustard, yes, but no ketchup.

It's a common grocery item for the Indians I guess. I have been brought up seeing a bottle on virgin honey since childhood days. It's my grandmom's common cold remedy. She used to prepare honey tea with some spices. It works wonders. Having said this, I hardly take it nowadays. I do not like the taste of honey much and guess what it has different use now. I use it on face pack! It's an excellent dehydrating agent.

There is always honey lying around at my place and that is for the simple reason that afriend who has a coffee estate also does the hone bee farming and he provides us with an ample supply of honey whever he is in town.

Hi Anne, Honey is a staple at my home. Every morning we parents and kiddo, each have a spoonful on empty stomach throughout the year. I have heard of its medicinal values and I have no doubts on them, but another reason why I have it coz it is supposed to reduce or at least control extra flab. Ummmmmm not really, there’s nothing staple that the kitchen is in want of, I would like to pride myself on having a well stocked larder.

I really want to like honey. I really want to ingest the nectar of flowers into my body! Of course it has been puked up by bees, but it's not like human vomit or anything... it is flower nectar brought back to the hive in a very sensible fashion. I never have it in my house though. I do not actually like the way it tastes. I would rather get it straight out of the hive though rather than all this stuff that's been cooked and sh!t. Other than that I consider rice, beans, some frozen veggies, and a few kinds of fish staples, and I always have those. Oh, also mayo and butter. And cream. And tea. There are probably a few things I am forgetting but if I have those things I feel very secure, hehehe. But I imagine that my house does not carry a few things that would be staples in other households.

Oh, it seems that many persons don't eat honey everyday. However, i eat honey alomost everyday 2 years ago. My mother said my skin is more better.Honey can make your skin better, i suggest everyone eat it in the morning everyday, i just add honey to water.

That Winnie the Pooh can be a right tosser at times SaintAnne. Honey is excellent for a sore throat and putting a couple of slices of lemon in the tea is great also. We have honey in the house at the moment but it is only a small jar and it is probably the only time we have bought it in the last three years! I love honey myself, but it is just not something we seem to eat that much of anymore. Is butter or margarine a basic ingredient? If so, then we rarely have this in the house either.

Unfortunately in the apartment we don't have honey at hand. Here at home though we do. It is good to have on hand though and I'm often frustrated that we don't have it in the apartment. I got over a cold in less than a week with a mixture of honey and garlic so there is a good reason I want it around. lol

I do not have honey in the house at the moment. The last I bought set for so long that is turned to sugar. Of course you can re-liquidfy it, but I think we just tossed it.

We ALWAYS have honey in the pantry. Most of the time we have New Zealand Manuka honey as it has amazing health giving properties. It is a natural antiseptic and healer. At the first sign of a cold I take honey and cider vinegar mixed and it beats the sh*t outta those nasty germs and bugs. It's also great on toast!

Hi SaintAnne! Sometimes I overlooked the stacking of even a simple paracetamol or analgesic in medicine cabinet. It's just so stupid because I know that most of us belong to the "headache" family (well, it's the least before migraine which really runs in our blood)..how could I be so forgetful at times?!

Hello SaintAnne. We have a small jar of honey and its almost finish, lol. I like honey in green tea. I think there's a few basic ingredients that we don't have in our apartment and I think husband mentioned some of them.

Perhaps Pooh stole all your honey. I have some supply of honey at home. But the homemade honey seems to give me diarrhoea, so i don't really consume them... But nonetheless, I LOVE HONEY!! But this isn't the reason why i'm a big fan of Pooh. Haha!
