Looks like he'll have no problem to be honest.

Same here ;)  They put it in everything.. I saw the most ridiculous commercial
on TV as well regarding HFCS.. Some person says, "I did research and I saw that
HFCS is no different than regular sugar" HA!  What a joke that one is.. That
commercial hasn't been seen in a little while, perhaps someone finally pulled
it.. hope so :)

Good idea.

Yep..

Rain, Rain and more Rain today.. but at least it cools things down somewhat :)
tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day.. we're planning on getting a lot of work
done on the house in Windsor.. we've got to get that house on the market.. I
have a feeling we'll end up waiting until the spring to sell it though.. :)

We initially looked at only 1 level houses up here, but decided we'd get tired
of all the rooms being so close... this one is working out really well, so I'm
glad we decided to go with it.

>> Sounds good and great that you can control things somewhat with diet.

Understand :(  Darn immune systems have a mind of their own sometimes it seems
:(

>> ===Sausage and Peppers===
>> 1 1/2 lbs. Sweet Italian Sausage
>> 2 or 3 tablespoons water
>> 2 Med. sized Italian green Peppers (or bell peppers) sliced 1 large
>> vidalia onion, sliced
>> 2 cloves garlic, chopped
>> 1 teaspoon basil
>> optional: Touch of olive oil

> I'll add some sliced mushrooms to the mix as well.

I used to do that now and again with that recipe.. Everyone here preferred just
sausage and peppers though.. sometimes I'm asked to thow some marinara sauce in
as well for a type of sausage and peppers we used to see at Fireman's parades
and county fairs :)  I like it a lot as well, that way.

>> Indian Masala filled with potato curry:

Neat :)  I'm not thrilled with the Wegman's in Ithaca.. they have things like
the non-gluten foods all over the store instead of putting them in one place
like the Binghamton Wegman's does.. I guess that's because it is a smaller
store in Ithaca that in Binghamton... they probably don't sell as much in
Ithaca.

> Can't see why not. Let me know what you think.

Will do :)

Take care,
Janis
