I came across this article today and thought it was interesting how the author talked about making hot wings that aren't hot. Now I know that most people that love hot wings actually want them hot but there are those of us out there that aren't huge fans of hot, spicy foods. So I'm going to give this suggestion a try and I thought I'd pass it on to you.

End Motion Sickness With Ginger Tea?
Motion sickness is a pretty common affliction and anyone who suffers from it can tell you it's not fun. Motion sickness can strike in a car, airplane, ship or boat, train, camel, horse, amusement park ride and even a flight simulator.
According to surveys, car sickness affects 58 percent of children, incapacitating airsickness occurs in 29 percent of airline pilots, space-motion sickness occurs in 50 percent of space shuttle astronauts, and up to 100 percent of ship passengers suffer from motion sickness. With so many people challenged by this problem, wouldn’t it be great if there were a simple and delicious remedy?
For years, people have touted ginger root’s ability to soothe an upset stomach and it has even shown promising results in many clinical trials.
Personally, I can't handle the taste of straight ginger and I'm not a fan of pills but I have found a great solution that works wonders for me...tea with ginger syrup.
I was lucky enough to find a delicious ginger syrup from an up and coming food company called Kilimanjaro Foods. I bought a bottle of their Sunrise Ginger Syrup, followed their ginger tea recipe and mixed up a nice tall glass. Not only was it delicious but it practically eliminated my motion sickness a few hours later as I drove to my aunt's house (I had a cup of ginger tea with me that I sipped on along the way). So now ginger tea is a staple of mine any time I know I'll be in a car.
So if you or someone you know suffers from motion sickness, why not get a bottle of Sunrise Ginger Syrup, make up some ginger tea and give it a try?

The World's Most Versatile Jerk?
No I'm not talking about a person...I'm talking about a jerk sauce.
While most people think of using jerk sauces to marinade meats like chicken, steak or pork, I've found a sauce that has the thickness of body and richness of flavor to make it farm more adaptable than just a marinade.
Kilimanjaro Foods' African Jerk Sauce is truly unlike anything you've ever experienced before. For one thing, it is based on the traditional African ingredients originally used in the jerk process.
Most people would say that Jamaican jerk sauce is African since the origins of jerk pork can be traced back to the pre-slavery days of the Cormantee hunters of West Africa. Though Jamaican jerk sauce certainly was derived from African ancestry, it is something that was adapted and modified over hundreds of years as various cultures added their influence.
Since Kilimanjaro's jerk more closely follows the original African recipe, their sauce has a much richer and varied pallet of flavor than is typically found in Jamaican jerks.
Have a look at some of the more interesting uses for this unique jerk sauce here.
