Random Thoughts

Really the only food-type issue we have is that Ellen is CONSTANTLY try to get me on artificial or non-sugar sweeteners. 

I would mind so much if she’d just bring them home and ask me to try them, but nooooo. She empties out the sugar bowl when I’m not watching and replaces that sweet goodness with some gunk that is about as much like cane sugar as a potato is like a peacock.

And it isn’t even a health issue! I’m not overweight, I’m not diabetic - I’ve go no sugar-related issues at all. And I don’t even use that much. I take sugar in tea and coffee, but I infrequently eat sweets, I don’t drink pop, and I haven’t had alcohol in 21 years.

She just wants to me to like the fake stuff as much as she does.

I really tried with a sugar substitute...I did.  I mostly use sugar when I make iced tea which is what my husband and I drink most of the time.  

To save him from this experiment, suggested by my doctor, I would make and label two different pitchers so husband wouldn't accidentally get the wrong stuff.

Experiment fail.  Then I tried going with half and half (sugar/substitute).  Again, I really tried.  Because that fake crap is so expensive I was determined to stick to it.  Finally I threw it all away and returned to sugar.

My doctor had told me my A1C was borderline but now I know that either she can't read lab results or they are testing someone else's blood.

That stuff is nasty.  Ellen should be nicer to you and not make you consume that drek.

It’s actually become a game - she’s holding out a hope that she’ll slip in a substitute and I won’t notice.

As if.
