    Hoppy 50th, Kermit

    By Craig Wilson, USA TODAY

    "Hard to believe, but Kermit has been green for 50 years now. And while it
    hasn't always been easy, the Muppets' famous frog is celebrating the
    milestone by leaping from place to place.

    "Kermit is iconic, a global character who transcends time and generational
    taste," says Chris Curtin of Disney, which now owns the Muppets. "It's rare
    to find a character who survives that kind of test of time."

    The original Kermit - cut from an old coat belonging to Jim Henson's mom -
    appeared on his creator's first TV show, a 1955 comedy called Sam and
    Friends.

    Among the birthday activities:

    ..A 15-month world tour begins Oct. 14 in Kermit, Texas, taking in 50 stops,
    including a USO appearance and a run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

    ..The U.S. Postal Service today issues a commemorative stamp collection in
    honor of the late Henson and his Muppets.

    ..The 1976 first season of The Muppet Show is out on DVD (Buena Vista,
    $39.99). Bonus features include the original Muppet Show pitch reel, plus a
    rare Miss Piggy-less pilot.

    ..New this month from Hyperion is It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things
    to Consider ($16.95), filled with commentary from Henson and his characters,
    friends and family."

    Screw Kermit. I turned fifty in August and I'm not green yet, or dead 😉

    Recipe for eating Kermit left intact because it sounds good.

    Sore Throat Spray

    Intensive therapy for your throat! This potent spray will help take
    some pain away from your throat while fighting bugs and germs. This
    spray is strong and will change the taste in your mouth, so do not use
    it just before eating! In fact, refrain from eating or drinking
    anything for 20 ? 30 minutes after using it so the spray stays on the
    throat area and is not washed down too quickly.

    The chamomile tea may be made with a tea bag or with fresh or fresh
    dried chamomile flowers. Make the tea nice and strong. The vinegar is
    a natural bacteria cleanser, so it is a good addition to this throat
    spray. You may vary the essential oils, but make sure to include
    ginger or thyme because these are the big guns when it comes to
    fighting off germs.

    Ingredients: yield: 2 oz (shy)

    1 ½ oz strong Chamomile Tea
    1 tsp Lavender or Sage Honey (see my recipe for Lavender
    infused honey)
    1 Tbl Apple Cider Vinegar
    2 oz glass spray bottle
    Essential Oils ? a total of 10 ? 14 drops in total(*)
    5 drops Ginger
    3 drops Thyme
    2 drops Hyssop
    3 drops Peppermint

    (other good choices to use in place of any of these would be rosemary
    or sage)

    (*) NOTE: If using this on children, you might want to dilute it by 1/2.

    Method:
    After making the strong chamomile tea, strain it twice into a glass
    measuring cup. Add the honey while the tea is still hot so it will
    dissolve well. Carefully pour the tea mixture into a 2 oz glass bottle
    (use glass, not plastic). Add vinegar and then the essential oil
    drops. Close with sprayer cap and shake well. Label and date the
    bottle. Store in the refrigerator. Use for one season only.

    Use several times throughout the day. This spray is a nice companion
    to the Mommy?s Chest and Neck Rub (see other recipe).

    All is forgiven. Was wondering what this had to do with food, 😉

    Seriously, Kermit is still one of my favourite TV programs - for the
    kids,of course 😉
