Hi Janis,

I can see that, but holding a piece of meat up to the light to check for
fat isn't common practice.  Most or the time fat cooks out of meat so a
piece that was fatty as raw meat won't have as much when cooked.
Admittedly there are exceptions, and chicken isn't that fatty to begin
with.

 JK> Mom never like coffee much I think.

I'm not sure what my MIL's reasoning for a half cup is. I don't like
coffee so don't drink it--problem solved.

I know, if I'm really tired it won't bother me but other times I'll feel
like I'm taking hours to get to sleep.

 JK> I can understand that.

And doing better healthwise. My morning blood glucose numbers were a bit
higher while traveling but seem to be settling down again now that we're
home.

 JK> That sounds like a nice one.

It is, it's been a favorite ever since we found it.

Where is he going? One of the families in our church took their oldest
child (daughter) to college a couple of weeks ago. Mom seems to be
adjusting OK. (G)

Can they be reconverted?

 JK> Yep, that's the fun for sure.  You know what sizes and heights, etc.

Yes, and it's a lot of quirky things. Got a frozen fruit (look up
Yo-nanas) sorta ice cream maker; ours isn't that brand but does the same
thing, while out west.
