Ate too much?

If you ate too many tamales or sushi and are feeling really bloated or you have a little bit of tummy pain with a headache then...

Mix in a glass, juice from two lemons (the mexican kind are better =)), two tsps. sugar amd one cup of club soda. Then place a tsp. of Baking Soda in your mouth (on your tongue) and slowly drink the mixture. If it starts to fizz too much, slow down and let the fizzing go down. Drink the entire mixture and the baking soda should be gone.

Lay down and let it work. You should start burping (alot) soon.

Have a headache? Have a potato?

So this weekend one of my aunt's, you know who you are, was feeling a little under the weather. For her headache, my mother applied a headband, sprinkled with alcohol and placed two slices of fresh potato on her temples, underneath the headband. This was worn for about an hour. Apparently the freshness of the potato helps in some strange way to aleviate the pounding on the temples.

We suggest you don't try this while driving yourself anywhere, as the smell of the alcohol can cause, not only the police officer to think your suspicious of something alcohol related, but if you are wearing a blue or red headband, you can be flagged as a gang member of certain rival gangs in and near the Los Angeles area. So, if you must travel during the treatment, do as the intelligent aunt did this weekend...in the middle of the night, on the passenger side of a dark SUV, with the seat tilted as far back as you can, without squishing the "abuelita" in the back seat!

P.S. If you refer to the bold type, you can easily see the ingredients you will need on any post.
