 NB>> Have you tried the Wegmans varieties?  If so, do you find them any
 NB>> better or worse than Mrs T's?

 MR> No I can't say that I have. I haven't had them for awhile. With the
 MR> diabetes,  I probably go all out and have Pierogies maybe once a year.
 MR> I like em, even  the mrs. T's ( but not like the homemade things ) but
 MR> don't eat them that  often. Ever want a good one, go to the St.
 MR> Stanislaus Festival this summer. I  have tasted no better. They are not
 MR> the potato filled ones, but the cheese  filled ones, and boy are they
 MR> good. 

Wegmans has a number of different varieties, including a cheese one.  If
you ever do try them, let me know what you think of them.  I had a taste
of one, and it seemed to be better than the Mrs. T's ones anyway... 
When's the St Stanislaus Festival...?

 MR> I also when I get the chance and it's not  too often, When I go
 MR> to Buffalo, in the public Market they have some made by  Some Orthodox
 MR> Monks, You buy them fresh, they aren't cheap, like 75 cents a  piece
 MR> the last time I bought some, but they are also good. Flavor, texture 
 MR> and all is excellent. Creamy and delicious. ( mouth watering ) 

They do sound delicious...  :)

 NB>> It depends on lots of factors, including what type of wheat is being
 NB>> used in the first place...  Whole grains are better for diabetics
 NB>> because they have less of the original nutrition taken out, so there's
 NB>> more fiber among other things.

 MR> That is why I was interested, as the fiber causes slower and or less 
 MR> absorption. I know certain whole grain products cause little effect on
 MR> my  blood sugars whereas I can look at pasta and it spikes <grin>. I
 MR> have found  that instead of sandwiches on bread, I can eat a whole
 MR> grain wrap or ones  with added extra fiber and I am good. Can enjoy it
 MR> and it does not affect  Blood sugars very much at all.

The wraps probably have less added sugars, too, and less fats.  Whole
grain pita bread would probably affect your bg level less, too...
 
 NB>> it at all.. My parents took to eating the Ezekiel bread long after
 NB>> we all had  left the house... it was probably too expensive
 NB>> for them back in the  days when all of us kids were home... :) While
 NB>> I like multi-grain  and whole grain things, it never seemed all that
 NB>> wonderful to me,  either... more hype, actually...

 MR> I hear ya, Dad was into that.. I just did not like it. It could well
 MR> be my  tastebuds, as we have talked before about stevia. People love
 MR> it. I myself  get a nasty aftertaste and don't like anything with an
 MR> aftertaste. Same with  a lot of whole grain products I have tried, I
 MR> just get a bitter aftertaste.  OTOH I can drink diet pop (soda) <grin>,
 MR> cuz I have to in some cases and it  does not bother me with todays
 MR> sweetners, Yet normal people will not touch  the stuff as they hate the
 MR> aftertaste, which I don't get. I guess we all are  different in this
 MR> respect too. 

Read for a while even just in this echo, and that's plenty obvious... (G)
I can't drink the diet pop, particularly if it has saccharine in it, as
that stuff gives me migraines... so I tend to avoid most diet stuff...
never cared for the aftertaste, either, but it was the headaches that
made the bigger difference.  Whole grain products with an aftertaste
probably have something else added in... maybe soy or some of the other
typical additions produces the aftertaste for you?

 MR> ... I'll get to it on the 2nd Tuesday of next week.

Hmmmm...  ;)
