(I am SO far behind... and still no end in sight)  I'm sorry to hear
that... any changes since...?

Yeah, I was reading about that... I heard that it wasn't being made
available because of the possibility that the supply contained some of
the counterfeit drugs.  I think it's disgusting for people to do things
like that, let alone get away with it...

 NB>> It's not really breakfast stuff you are unhappy with, just when it
 NB>> comes out to be eaten...?   (G)

 ML> Oh, I won't ever be happy with muffins, English or otherwise;
 ML> Danish (except with marzipan); toast, except the occasional
 ML> cinnamon raisin; bagels, which I think are one of the most
 ML> amusing frauds ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public;
 ML> hot cereal; cold cereal; eggs; Pop-Tarts. I do enjoy salty
 ML> spicy pork products, though, 

Staying true to type, so to speak...  Meat above carbs, etc...  ;)

 ML> and have become fond of, since
 ML> my recentish fall into a true diabetic state, desserty sickly
 ML> sweety things - chocolate croissants, doughnuts, and the like,
 ML> though even these I prefer not to deal with in the morning.

I generally prefer not to deal with such in the morning, too... :)  In
my youth, I used to enjoy doughnuts, but have more of an aversion to
them now... an occasional bite is about what I'm up to now...  Chocolate
croissants, on the other hand, sound pretty nice... ;)

 ML>> It wasn't sugar, it was almost like a lumpy gravy, as though
 ML>> the pectin were defective. No seeds.
 NB>> Odd that.  Almost makes me want to see if Wegmans has that flavor, to
 NB>> see if it usually is that weird...  ;)  only almost, though... ;)

 ML> I'd recommend going to a seedy diner instead; you don't want
 ML> a whole jar of the stuff sitting around the house.

I'll keep that in mind.  ;)  I suspect my research would end with an
eyeball scrutiny at the store, though, even if I did follow through...
