I love health. I love healthy. I love healthy concoction. I love healthy concoction I create on the spur of the moment. I took a forkful of this healthy concoction, and I had to stop to take a picture of it before it vanishes.

Not only that, My home continent (Africa) alone with a population of 1.2 billion people consumes 33% of all the rice available on the world market, but it does not produce 33% of the world's rice.

I have taken Rubitussin DM MAX, Advil, ZICAM, and Emergen-C for four days. The pain and fever are gone, but the running nose, sneezing, and "the throat condition" (phlegm) remain.

Now, I wait.
