Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Yeh, that's what we do as well! I see that HFCS
-> ->  hn> is now running commercials on TV telling how "good"
-> ->  hn> it is!
-> 
-> -> I saw a couple of those when I was out in Las Vegas last fall, haven't
-> -> seen any here.  They haven't sold me. (G)  One commercial I do 
remember
-> -> is with all these little kids dressed up as healthy fruits & vegetables,
-> -> then one little boy is HFCS. The gunk is just oozing out of him--looks
-> -> pure pitiful.
-> 
->  hn> That wasn't an ad FOR HFCS though...the
-> 
-> I know but seeing the HFCS in that one made me think "YuK; who are they
-> trying to kid?" in the other ones.
-> 
-> 
->  hn> ones we've seen have a person refusing
->  hn> somthing that contains HFCS and the other
->  hn> person giving them a bad time about it.
-> 
-> Those were the ones I saw in LV wondering who they were trying to sucker
-> with the lines about it being so good.  All I had got out of it was the
-> mental picture of the other ad with the HFCS oozing out of the kid's
-> costume.
-> 
I think they were put on by the Corn Marketing 
Board (grin) Have not seen them aired lately!

-> -> Yesterday Steve picked up a few things at the commissary for me,
-> -> including ginger snaps for the sauerbraten to be.  He came home & told
-> -> me he had his choice for those between partially hydrogenated 
shortening
-> -> and preservatives so picked the former. It's getting harder & harder to
-> -> find good food.
-> 
->  hn> It really is if you buy much processed stuff.
->  hn> We tend to buy fresh fruits and veggies, and
->  hn> only a few items that are canned or frozen.
->  hn> Even that is not a sure way to avoid
->  hn> the "evils" though.
-> 
-> I know but there are some things we have to get that have the "evils" in
-> them.  Should have waited on the gingersnaps until we went to Brighter
-> Day today; had a couple of better choices there.  But, today's trip was
-> one of these "as long as we're out, is there anywhere else we need to go
-> to?" run. And we were about out of several things so.........
->
Yep, somethings you just have to accept
that you can't always get what you want 
(to coin a phrase from Mick Jagger)!
 
-> -> Low carb wouldn't go over very well here; we like pasta & pizza too
-> -> much. (G)  Steve is more of a pancake/waffle eater than I am; he was
-> -> we got married. They're more of a week end breakfast now; most of the
-> -> time I'll go for eggs (egg, actually).
-> 
->  hn> I like carbs, but realize that it's better
->  hn> for me to avoid them for the most part.
->  hn> Those that I do take I try to take in the
->  hn> form of fresh veggies and whole grains.
-> 
-> I'll go for those any day.
->
 
-> -> work crews.  You got a huge breakfast, even the egg dishes were 
mostly
-> -> stuffed omelette (and I mean, really stuffed) type.  There was home 
made
-> -> jam on the tables to go with the biscuits (not out of a can) too.
-> -> Denny's just isn't the same.
-> 
->  hn> It's hard to mess up breakfast, but some
->  hn> places manage to do it. There is a place
->  hn> where my retiree breakfast meets once a
->  hn> month...I sometimes order the #1 special.
->  hn> 2eggs, pancake, bacon or sausage and
->  hn> hashbrowns and toast...the pancake is
->  hn> the size of a plate! everything else comes
->  hn> on side plates! One of my friends orders
->  hn> the 1/2 order of sausage biscuits and gravy.
->  hn> and he can barely finsih it!
-> 
-> I'd go for the #1, scramble the eggs, no pancake, half portion, hot tea
-> and orange juice on the side--and make it whole wheat toast please. (G)
->
But, but, that's not a number one at all! (grin) That's just a 
side order of scrambled eggs and toast! (grin)
 
-> -> ->  hn> batman...I'm turning into a GEEZER!!!! :-0
-> 
-> -> -> (G)
-> 
-> ->  hn> I'm coming to acceptance on it (Grin)
-> 
-> -> That helps. I realised today that Robert is now only a year younger than
-> -> Deborah was when we got to Germany on our assignment to Frankfurt.
-> 
->  hn> Time flies!!
-> 
-> And how!  Deborah is about Amanda's age (June 22, 1980).
->
Amanda is just a few months younger, Sept 11, 1980..
her 21st B'day was a real downer for her! 
 
-> -> -> last week. We were without Fido for a few days, then started with 
the
-> -> -> packets from Dale.  Things are back to normal now but still getting 
the
-> -> -> packets for a it, just in case........
-> 
-> ->  hn> Glad that was all it was! See, you were missed!
-> ->  hn> On a side note, knowing you're a Mets fan. I got
-> ->  hn> to meet Tom Seaver today at a charity event at
-> ->  hn> the ballpark! What a nice guy! Also got to meet
-> 
-> -> Now THAT really takes me back.  I was sitting in chemistry class when
-> -> the Mets won their first World Series. The teacher was one of the few
-> -> in our school that wouldn't let us watch the game on the cafeteria
-> 
->
