Marriage and Beyond

posted by Jennie on Aug 13

The hubby and I have been planning to get a drinking glass set for some weeks now. You see the couple of glass sets we received for our wedding more than six years ago are now gone. We could not help it that as years passed a glass or two would break. Nope, we are not one of those couples who fancy breaking them one at a time during fights. (lol!) Aside from the fact that the sets we had were that of the thin type – not very durable, I really think we are more of mug users. We have a handful around and have not lost a piece since. We just thought it was kind of embarrassing sometimes when we have guests and we would service the juice and colas from mugs and cups. Maybe we should really buy a glass set for those given occasions but we think we will still stick to using those good ‘ol mugs on regular days.

A couple of months back I wrote about getting savvy on concocting my very own refreshing sweet potato tops juice. I came about the recipe when I read from forums upon forums the benefit of sweet potato fruit and its tops. How the tops would naturally boost the body’s immune system and was discovered to have cured the deadly Dengue in several instances. I hope to share with you how easy it is to make your very own sweet potato tops juice:

1. Clean one sheaf of sweet potato tops thoroughly. Cut off the leaves and set aside. I have learned that the best way to clean fruit and veggies is to soak them in water with vinegar.

2. Bring water to a boil and stir in the leaves and boil for another five minutes. Let it cool and set aside.

3. Mix in calamansi or lemon juice.

4. Add muscovado sugar or honey to taste.

5. Add ice and serve.

Talking about mugs and my favorite juice concoction, I just love the versatility and durability of the innovative designs of NewWave CaffeNewWave Caffe mugs. Check out this particular design. I could actually have our family drink from this cup while feasting over my equally homemade mojos and chips. Hurry and jump to their site and avail of the 50% discount they offer until month end.
