Which would be reasonable if positive correlation equalled cause and
effect, which it doesn't always...  Overcautious seems to be the
watchword of the day...

That could work... (G)

Looks good!  (Probably both taste and sight, actually... )

 NB>> The Blood Sugar supplement MJ takes claims to have 400 mg cinnamon in

That is a bit odd... but there are other things that are effective even
in smaller doses...  Given the size of the capsules, if it had been just
cinnamon, she'd be getting quite a bit more of the cinnamon...

 NB>> She probably gets that much again in her french toast when she has

 ML> Here's an oddity - French toast without cinnamon -
 ML> Title: DECADENT FRENCH TOAST
 ML> Jean Gaschen                                  1 ts Vanilla
 ML> 5 tb Butter                                   French bread
 ML> 1 c  Brown sugar                              Whipped cream
 ML> 2 tb Dark Karo)                               Pecans; chopped
 ML> 1/2 c  Milk                                   Strawberries
 ML> 5    Egg

But it probably would taste pretty good still with cinnamon added to
either the soaking liquid or the toppings...  :)

ttyl          neb

This time you get two taglines... decided to combine the two messages... ;)

... Science asks how. Philosophy asks why. Cats couldn't care less.
... If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
