Great! Wonder why that hasn’t caught on? We should start a movement.

I love, love, love Vernors and kind of forget all about it until my tummy is upset and then it’s my cure-all. Will need to bust it out more often.
What a great post, Kath! Thanks!

Geez, how did I miss National Vernors Day? Ah well, any day can be a Vernors day here.

Have you tried the Vernors cake that began selling a year or so ago? It was a little like a ginger-flavored angel food cake.

No, never tried the Vernors cake. Will have to look for it.
Thanks for the tip!
