Cherry-sweet, enough of a burn, medicinal, soothing, and always a welcome sight.

At first glance and taste it is old but you reap the benefits later :)

Thank you – I loved everyone’s wonderful and creative interpretations (and the song, Ibrahim)!

Your answers got me thinking about other people in my life too – particularly family members. Perhaps I’ll share those some other time :)

Warmly,
Baraka

Until I’m psychologically secure, this post brought to me mind Grace Slick’s song (Jefferson Airplane):

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar
has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “Off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head
Feed your head

My husband is a cup of hot chocolate – dark Hershey chocolate reddish brown, hot, and satisfying!

Oh wow, never thought about better half in this way before.
Strong, sensible but fun…mmm, that has to be masala chai.

He is hot days drinking horchata for me.
