Hi Nancy,

 NB> there a way to  NB>> measure the sugar content of the ripe peaches

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

 NB> Probably the total carb of the peach doesn't really change that much,
 NB> whether it tastes sweet or not quite so... so you'd be able to use the
 NB> "official" average per...

Most likely--and a taste test as they're cut up. At the first picnic we
went to (Dale & Gail in 2007) I made a peach cobbler with peaches that
were very sweet. Sad to say, the store no longer exsists but they had
some great peaches.

 NB> And it  RH>> was all eaten--guess we were all hungry.
 NB>  NB>> And we apparently picked wisely for the company.  :)  All very
 NB> good  NB>> food, too...

The chap je (literal spelling) veggies were good too. I had my pre op
testing in Raleigh today, since Steve had class, a friend took me.
Afterward we got some lunch; she said her husband doesn't like Asian so
we went to a Pei Wei (related to P.F. Changs). We both liked what we had
but the treat for me was my drink. They have one of these Coke
dispensers that offers infinite combinations of Coke products and
flavorings. I chose Diet Coke with raspberry flavoring--it was good!

 NB> And we had no leftovers... only way you could have had more of the

Most any time seafood is involved, I'm a happy camper. (G)


 RH> I'll have to try the chocolate almond milk. We've been buying the

 NB> Tastes a lot like chocolate milk with just a hint of almond to it, to
 NB> me... rather pleasant...  :)  Dunno how it would be on cereal, but,
 NB> depending on what the cereal is, probably not too bad..  :)  After
 NB> all, there are chocolate coated or flavored cereals, too...  ;)

I might buy both; I can't wrap my taste buds around chocolate milk on
the cereals we eat. Much as I like chocolate, I don't want it for
breakfast cereal.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
