Re: molasses and gingerbread men/Creative laxative

[Guest guest]

I am kind of known around here for always having gingerbread men on hand.

Everyone loves gingerbread men, well maybe not everyone but almost everyone.

My grandkids love to decorate them and I love to eat them. In fact we are

painting my kitchen in americana theme, red, white and blue with a gingerbread

border and red checkerboard wall paper and gingerbread men instead of handles on

cabinets, etc.

I said all of that to say the reason I keep gingerbread on hand is because it

keeps us regular. Once I started taking so many meds I began to either go all

the time or never go and my mom suggested taking molasses. She said they used

to make kids take a tablespoon of black strap molases every morning before they

walked to school to keep them warm and regular.

So I thought hey maybe that would work, so now there are lawys gingerbread men

in my cookie jars, tons of fun and I don't have a problem any more. You brought

back lots of memories so thought I would share.

I am sorry you had the problem must've happened when I was gone, but when I got

home had to make some men because all of mine were gone. I now of course make

gingerbread men and gingerbread women and I even have a gingerbread baby. Gwen
