HOME CARE for COVID-19
compiled by irenebaron.com January 2021 

When you have a mild case of this corona virus, you will want to take good care of your self as you isolate within your home. Wash hands with soap and water often for at least 20-seconds. The soap and water knocks the protrusions off the virus and makes it harmless. Once they are harmless, you need to rinse them off your hands.

The hospital teams love you but don't want to see you with COVID-19. They hope you follow all necessary procedures,…

www.irenebaron.com 8 December 2020 

Two different gun manufacturer representatives told me that 3iHOLSTERS were known in the gun industry as making the best holsters in the United States! What a recommendation! 

I mentioned this to Scott Frank, owner of 3iHOLSTERS in Zanesville, Ohio and he laughed. I repeated what I was told about his accolades and who, when and were they were said. To have the nation’s top ranked firearm holster manufacturing company in my home town of Zanesville,…

Indonesia had something important happen concerning influenza. During a killing influenza, not one of the almost 300 cinnamon factory workers contracted the disease. That opened my eyes.  I am reposting as it is important during COVID-19.
 

WHAT IS CINNAMON? 

Cinnamon, from the bark of plants in the Laurel family, has been used for thousands of years and was once a gift for kings. The highest quality of the spice is Ceylon cinnamon.  Cinnamomum zeylanicum   …

Lovers of science may wish to learn a few details about research for the second Mindreacher novel, especially concerning volcanoes.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE PAST

THE ICE AGE

Our perception of the earth is like that of a mite on a tree. The mite isn't aware of changes in tree growth during its life.  Climate change is something humans rarely witness in their lifetime.   

I grew up in Ohio where the one or two-mile thick ice of the last Ice Age began to retreat about 10,000 years ago.  The weight of the ice pushing on Ohio applied pressure to the crust of the Earth. Since the ice melted over…

I love to see and hear hummingbirds and have fed them many summers. I enjoy their shy antics. If you measure intelligence by the “encephalization quotient,” the brain-to-body ratio, the hummingbird appears to be the most intelligent of all animals, including us!

Hummingbirds are in the biological family of Trochilidae. They rank as the smallest birds with an average length of 3-5 inches. The smallest is the bee hummingbird that weighs 2 grams, the equivalent of two…

AMERICAN CUTCO VS GERMAN HENCKEL KNIVES
     By Irene Baron     www.irenebaron.com 

My father always said a sharp knife was a safer knife.  He took great care with our cooking knives. At least once a year he would moisten a large whetstone and sharpen his favorite knives.  He did it methodically and with care. Good knives were hard to come by. 

During my last year at Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio, I took a cooking class. The class had an Organic Chemistry prerequisite. Only students who had passed Organic…
