Monsonia angustifolia is an annual herb that grows up to 0.5 m, although usually shorter. Stems are slightly woody at the base, pubescent and covered with very short gland-tipped hairs among the longer stems.

I have naturally blonde and easily damaged hair and I am always on top of new products. I also love the K-pak line especially the serum. I have recently been using two great products. First is the new Loreal Everstrong fortifying conditioner which really brings my hair back to life! it gives me great shine and dimension to my blonde so its not so flat. I also use Organix Hair Mayo which is in the African American hair section. Its all natural vitamins and nutrients and I leave it on my hair for about 10 minutes and It really improves the strength. Bear in mind this product is incredibly strong it works well for me because I have such naturally curly hair but I dont know how it would respond to fine hair.

An important part of our nation's forgotten history. Having just gone to the movies with DH (an engineer and mathematician) to see "Hidden Figures" (awesome), I was inspired to find Freda DeKnight's recipe (as a baker) for the first one mentioned in the KQED article to honor that part of our nation's history that I did not see growing up in sheltered Ohio '40's and '50's and California '60's and elsewhere in US and was not even really aware of until I moved to the South, much to my chagrin. There are lots of banana cakes with caramel frosting recipes posted on-line though most start with a box of cake mix - I don't think that her original recipe used those chemicals. So here is one that I think is the closest to the original (I do so wish I could find a copy of the cookbook "A Date with a Dish" that Freda published in 1948 but it's offered at $200 used and is so out of my budget). Banana Cake with Caramel Frosting - Freda DeKnight's respectfully modernized With an electric mixer cream together: 1/2 C butter, 1 1/2 C sugar, about 3 minutes. Add 2 eggs and beat well. Stir in 3 mashed bananas, 1/4 C buttermilk, 1 t vanilla. Stir in 2 C cake flour and 1/2 t baking soda. Put into a greased and floured 13x9" baking pan and bake 350F 35 minutes. Cool completely. For frosting melt 1/2 C butter, add 1 C dark brown sugar and cook 2 minutes stirring often until dissolved and bubbly. Off heat stir in 1/2 C heavy cream, 1 T vanilla. With hand mixer beat in until smooth - 2 C powdered sugar. Frost cake and let set 1/2 hour before slicing. I also found a recipe that added black walnuts which my DH described as Freda's Banana Caramel Cake to the ultimate max.
