Turmeric Powder and a Little Subversion
2009/10/06 2:00 PM
My daughters are allergic to anything “mom” says or tries to impose when it comes to their health. So the idea of taking vitamins, eating more fruits and veggies and laying off MY coffee in the morning is met with a resounding “NO!” Feels like the terrible two’s all over again.
Subversion is the only tool left to me to insure their continued health.
D#2 has decided not to take her asthma medicine. “Ok,” I say. “Where are your inhalers?” Why-are-you-bothering-me roll of the eyes tells me she has no clue. So I crush the pink pill and sprinkle it over a cup of “froyo,” which she eats without an ounce of suspicion.
D#1 has a great immune system. All that breast-feeding really paid off. But think she’d take calcium supplements to boost her bone strength? The eye rolling happens here too. I bought good-tasting Tums – stuck them on her computer with a note stating that her password was changed and the consuming of 2 tabs a day will keep the computer humming in her hands. Worked like a charm!
But the Hubby, he’s another issue. He’s leery of anything promoted by his wife as “good for your health.” He rarely gets sick except if he’s been on a plane. Then he is miserable with sneezing and coughing all over the house.
I shared my frustration-Husband syndrome with a friend of mine from India. Samir Doshi, of Telecomers, mentioned they use Turmeric powder as an anti-septic. “How does it taste?” I ask. My mind is busy flashing pictures of me sitting on the Husband whilst pouring this powder directly into his mouth. “Of nothing,” he replied. “It just turns the food a bit yellow.”
Yellow? I can do yellow! I rushed off to the market, bought some turmeric powder, yellow squash, tomatoes and made a ratatouille. I liberally sprinkled the Turmeric on the squash before drenching everything in garlic, caramelized onions and olive oil.
I served the dish on a decorative platter and made it look FANTASTIC, key to getting the family to eat new dishes. They ate it up and suggested we have this dish more often!
Gosh, I love subversion.

Lian, Breast Health says:Wow what an excellent idea. Turmeric is actually a really good spice for you. I use it a lot in rice. I think the whole post the note on your daughters computer thing was so cute. Gotta try that one day when I get daughters =)

I LOVE working with Sarah! The best business decision I’ve made recently is joining Sarah's Retail Revolution program to learn how to gain exposure and grow revenue for my handmade business, Shawn Sargent Designs. Sarah is that guiding and supportive voice in your head – and literally on the calls every week, which is an invaluable part of the program. Within three months of working with her, her expertise helped me land Real Simple's Holiday issue as my first magazine feature, which provided a huge boost in our Q4 sales and gave us national exposure! She also takes a personal interest in our products and growth. Recently she introduced me to a rep that got my products onto The Grommet and is connecting me to revenue streams I couldn’t have reached so quickly on my own. Sarah helps push limits in a positive way, and her ongoing support gives me confidence and momentum to grow my business and reach new goals. Working with Sarah is amazing, and I’m excited for what’s ahead! — Shawn Sargent, Shawn Sargent Designs ![]()

Magazine editors are always looking for the next HOT thing. It’s your job to keep them looking at your products. Use different subject lines to entice them to open your emails. Share different ways to use your products, wear them, share how they smell or how they improve your skin etc..![]()
