PE 4/13 Healthy Honey

Yep – this is the place. We have a good selection of honey productions on hand right now. What are you after?
* on hand: available at the present location
ex> As the test date approached, she made sure all her textbooks were on hand.
* be after something: to want or seek something
= What is it that you want?; have in mind; looking for
ex> I’ll be going to the mall later today because I’m after a new pair of workout shoes.

That sounds like an old wives’ tale.
* old wives’ tale: a superstition or traditional belief that is incorrect
ex> Don’t believe that old wives’ tale that making funny faces will permanently change your face.
Note> Here are some popular old wives’ tales: You’ll catch a cold if you go out with wet hair; Don’t eat spicy food if you’re prone to ulcers; Another drink will help a hangover.

Yep. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. That’s why I tell people to buy organic fruits and vegetables. It’s better for them, and better for the bees.
* accident/disaster waiting to happen: a dangerous situation
ex> The faulty traffic light was an accident waiting to happen.
ex> The buildup of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide is a disaster waiting to happen.

That settles it. I’ll take a large jar of the clover honey, a medium lavender honey, and two pairs of those beeswax candles.
* that settles it: the decision has been made
ex> That settles it: we’ll give our notice tomorrow and move next month.
