Winter Sore Throat "Tea"

makes about 2 cups
2 lemons thoroughly cleaned and sliced
2 piece of ginger about the size of your pointer and middle finger together sliced into coin size pieces
Honey (about 1 cup-maybe more)

In a 12-16 oz. jar combine lemon slices and sliced ginger. Pour honey (organic is best) over it slowly. This may take a little time to let the honey sink down and around the lemon and ginger slices. Make sure when the honey has filled in all the voids, there is enough to cover the top of the lemon slices. Close jar and put it in the fridge, it will form into a "jelly". To serve: Spoon jelly into mug and pour boiling water over it. Store in fridge 2-3 months.

HERSHEY BAR CAKE

1 Box German Chocolate cake mix

1 3oz box instant vanilla pudding

3 large eggs

1/3-1/2cup oil (depending on cake mix brand)

1 1/4 cup water (depending on cake mix brand)

1 8 oz cream cheese - soft

1 scant cup granulated sugar

1 12oz frozen whipped topping (I couldn't find 12oz and used 9oz)

1 scant cup confectioners sugar 

1 cup chopped pecans (or nuts of choice)

1 Giant Hershey bar - grated (not regular size)

Combine cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, and oil & water according to cake mix package instructions. Beat until smooth and pour into two 8" pans - greased & floured or sprayed with something like Bakers Joy (I spray them). Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Remove and cool layers.

With a STAND ALONE MIXER (important! unless you have a REALLY strong arm!) beat cream cheese and granulated sugar for 20 minutes. Add in confectioners sugar and beat just until smooth. Fold in whipped topping, chopped pecans, and grated Hershey bar.

Frost cooled cake and enjoy! SO good. Even better the next day.

Note: "Scant" means just slightly short of.
