📍 🌕 Full Buck Moon – July 10, 2025
📅 Don’t miss the first full moon of summer lighting up the night sky!

⸻

🔸 Tomorrow night, the Full Buck Moon will rise around 9:00 PM local time in most places — be sure to check your area for the exact time.

🔸 Named by Native American tribes, this moon celebrates the season when male deer grow new antlers — a symbol of growth, power, and renewal. 🦌

🔸 When it appears low on the horizon, it may look extra large and golden — perfect for a dramatic photo or a moment of reflection.

📸 Look up, take a photo, make a wish — and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

KITCHEN TIPS From Africa

1. Never store Onions and Potatoes together because both produce a gas that causes either of them to spoil quickly.

2. Put two or three orange leaves in your hot palm oil on the fire. Let the leaves turn black before removing it. By then your palm oil becomes pure groundnut oil also giving your food a nice taste.

3. To avoid feeling a peppering hotness on your hands after cutting pepper with bare hand scrub your hand with salt and red oil then wash it.

4. If you happen to over salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

5. If your Soup or Stew goes sour while warming it, add little piece of Charcoal and remove after warming, the taste will come back.

6. Never put citrus fruits (oranges, lemon, lime, etc) or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperature degrades the aroma and flavor of these fruits.

7. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.

8. If your salt is becoming lumpy, put a few grains of rice in with it to absorb excess moisture.

9. To reuse cooking oil without tasting whatever was cooked in the oil previously, cook a 1/4" piece of ginger in the oil. It will remove any remaining flavors and odors.

Poor Slaves they took the chains off our bodies, but then they put the chains on our minds.

Are you truly free?
