Hi Ruth,

->  RH> didn't even when long distance was less of a torture test.

-> Soft pretzels in NYC but what's the draw in Boston? Not the Rex Sox, I
-> know that.

 RH> It used to be my sister.  And yes it could be the Sox. I live in Red
 RH> Sox and Yankees territory, about equally mixed.

Even when I lived about 35 miles west of Boston I still didn't root for
the Sox. (G) Never had any family live there either so no draw there,
other than the history.

-> Maybe a 50/50 mix of stevia for baking and sugar? It has a bit of a

-> the 50/50 thing.

 RH> It's a thought.  It can mess up the texture in baked goods IIRC, since

 RH> I've never wanted to risk messing a recipe up with it.

I've tried it, doesn't seem to mess up the baking except for a slight
bitter after taste. Stevia in the Raw for baking measures just like
sugar but is only 18 grams of carbs to the cup. Next time we'll try the
mix of it and sugar.

-> ->  RH> Just as well.  I don't shell out $10/pound for them very often.

-> -> I don't either, got more important things to spend my money on.

->  RH> Gasoline for starters.  I did buy some earlier this year, but that
 RH> was because I had coupons.  Naturally.

-> I don't get olive coupons but do spend money on basics. Bananas, milk,
-> wheat berries, yeast, fresh fruits & veggies....................

 RH> I bought a few today.  T'was the week before Christmas and the budget
 RH> was going to get blown anyway, so I bought about a dozen olives.

Too far from pay day for us to splurge on them. We did splurge on a
$5./foot long chipotle chicken sub at Subway for supper Saturday night.
It was a very mild chipotle taste, just a bit of a back of the mouth
one.
