Recipe: Honey Lemon Ginger Infusion for a Sore Throat

If you’ve got an itchy throat or feel yourself coming down with a flu this winter, save some money and make your own soothing hot drink. The folks over at SlashFood have a good Honey Lemon Ginger infusion / hot drink:

“Simply grate a half inch chunk of ginger into a large mug. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in on top (you can also add the zest if you’re feeling daring) and add a heaping teaspoonful of honey (feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your personal taste). Fill the cup with boiling water and stir to combine. Drink while still warm and repeat as necessary. “

Quaker Oats Free Sample: Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond True Delights

The deal mavens over at DealNews.com have posted info about Quaker Oats and a free sample they’re mailing out.

Any other ideas? (Without Googling, of course).

“Krispy Kreme is taking the inaugural festivities nationwide,” said Ron Rupocinski, executive chef for Krispy Kreme. “We’re inviting our fans in cities across the country, including Washington, D.C., to commemorate this historic day with a favorite American treat.”
