Good morning, Member

How have you been, dear GrayViners? I hope your week’s shaping up to be a wonderful one! As for me, I’m still shaking off the flu and can’t wait to feel back to 100% again. I’m taking my meds, but I’ve also been trying the “home remedy” route. It got me thinking: so many of us grew up with remedies passed down from parents or grandparents. Do you have an old-school cure that always seems to help when coughs and colds come around? I’d love it if you could share your secret!

Shall we crack yesterday’s riddle? It was: I grow in bulbs, both round and white. I flavor food with a pungent bite. Chop my cloves to cook just right. What am I?

The answer is… garlic! Check here if you earned a shout-out!
