Question #2
Cettina asks, “Hello Emily & Janet, What would you recommend for an elderly person (80+) to improve blood circulation? My dad has experienced numb toes and has long complained about having cold feet. He says he doesn't feel one of his toes. I interpret this as signs of poor blood circulation. I know spicy foods increase circulation, but he ends-up coughing when food is spicey and does not enjoy it. I know ginger tea can also speed-up circulation. While he drinks it, it's not something he really enjoys. He's not a fan of the tingling sensation it causes in your throat. Due to the cold weather he has not been walking outdoors for months.”

What’s For Dinner

Curried Cauliflower and Carrot Soup
Using the cauliflower leaves and stem as well as the florets increases the vegetable yield by fifty percent or more. Note that they are tougher, so need to be cooked longer than the other vegetables to soften.
Optional: serve topped with fresh minced cilantro or green onions.
