It has been making me think of re-trying Switchel-- More of a
colonial new England drink, I think.

HAY TIME SWITCHEL

Ingredients :
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. apple vinegar
1/2 c. light molasses
1 tbsp. ginger
2 qts. cold water

Preparation :
Combine and stir well. This can be refrigerated, but old timers
made it with cool spring water, and drank it while making hay for a
good energy restorer in the hot weather.

[He's got a bunch more variations there - including one with oatmeal
in it]

Well, if it can reverse aging, it must be able to reverse time, too---
So send them the $30 and tell them you'll apply the vinegar tot he
space/time continuum to get in under the deadline.

I'll bet they'll cash your check-- and if you can effectively reverse
the time, they should send you the book, too.
