Hi Nancy,

 NB> It'll be a "mit verstandt" item for you...  :)   Is there a way to
 NB> measure the sugar content of the ripe peaches themselves?

Not without special instruments probably. Ones that we probably can't
afford.

Steve felt afterward that he sort of "took over" on the ordering. But,
he probably was the most experienced with it, having lived in Korea for
a year. (G) As long as I can "test order" the bulgogi at a place (if
that's good, the restaurant is usually good), I'm happy. I could have
chowed down on more of that seafood pancake but paid for it with a
higher blood glucose reading the next morning. As is, by going easy on
that & the rice, I did pretty well.

I'll have to try the chocolate almond milk. We've been buying the
vanilla because we use it on cereal. I pour an 8oz portion, pour from
that what I want on my cereal & drink the rest but I'm not too crazy
over it. Might pick up the chocolate when we go shopping this week end.

...  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
