Jackfruit BBQ

You need "Young Green Jackfruit in Brine." Do not buy jackfruit in syrup.

Cut out the core of each piece (the tips of the triangles)
Shred the rest by hand. Get about 1 can per person for sandwiches.

Cook shredded jackfruit in 1/2 C of broth until broth is gone. Put all the jackfruit on an oiled cookie sheet. Cook for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees until it starts to brown.

Mix browned jackfruit with warm sauce and serve with sweet coleslaw on top.

If you have no broth, I use powdered onion, garlic, salt and paprika with water.

Lice Treatment

It happens with kids. Good info so I don't forget...

Cetaphil treatment to get rid of live lice
Put Cetaphil in dry hair
Blow dry
Wait 8 hours and wash out

Then with wet hair and conditioner, use the Terminator comb on every inch of hair. This will get rid of any nits. Repeat daily until no more nits are found.
