Monday

I was speaking with a family member earlier today and she told me that she burned her arm when the iron fell. She simply cut a ripe tomato and put it on the wound to prevent swelling. Says she learned that from folks she worked with from Central America.

So I was reviewing culture and diet and wanted help.
Thanks all.
I remain amused that the Peruvian potato became Irish.
