Not, I've discovered, that that's a death sentence any more.

I've not done the experiment with stevia, not liking the
taste of the stuff. I see no reason why it's any better.
Now, Bonnie's got some Zevia products, but my glucometer
is at Lilli's, so that's my excuse not to repeat the test.

Amusing in a black sort of way. Decades ago Semtex and
Christmas pudding were discovered to have similar densities
amd chemical-sniff properties, so that caused consternation
and chaos in British airports at holiday time.

future picnic. As one girl said when I asked her out, "in

I've had two kinds of "snake bites," one being at least partly
made of snake (supposedly rattler, but who can tell) meat, the
other a jalapeno popper called by the name in the same way that
Mulate's called chicken nuggets gator bites.

Ah, I might have tried it just for fun then if I'd known.

Oh, so that's what that was. Too salty for me, so the most
cautious little bite was more than enough.

German heritage don't seem to have made me care less for eggplant... (G)
I looked on chefkoch.de and discovered "we have 3814 beloved
eggplant recipes" as opposed to 14234 zucchini. 24512 beef,
33228 potato, and 39321 pork. So maybe the Germans are in fact
less enthusiastic than I am.

The house oils at Bonnie's are Olympia Xenia (she got at Whole
Foods) and Market Basket (I bought). Market Basket is better at
half the price, comparable almost to your son's brand. I'm
guessing it may be from the same source as Kirkland, one of the
few EVOOs that tested pure (with the big brands all testing
positive for lesser oils, solvents, and/or artificial flavors).

I have eaten vegan beans, and some have been okay, but
none has ever been actually good; okay, maybe dals with
lots of curry spices and alliums might approach
deliciousness, but butter improves these, and it takes
meat to make a complete flavor (sort of like a complete
protein, only more important).

I guess. Mine varies.
