What did you eat today?

Tulip - You're the first person I've "met" who uses stevia! I want to try it out but can't figure out what to buy...any tips??

I used to grow it and dry it myself, but then I moved and have not restarted growing it. Maybe next summer.

I found some packets in the sugar section of the grocery store. Called Stevia In The Raw. Same folks as Sugar In The Raw. Smallish green box with packets. Not too bad in my tea and cereal. I have not bought it in bulk for baking, though.

I have 6 or 8 more jars of that plum jam in my freezer. I read you're out. Remind me to bring you another jar next week.

Mmmm, plum jam! I can trade you your little empty container for a full one!

I'll have to take a look for it, thanks!

I was a very, very bad girl today... we ate brunch at a local winery. Yes, that means I drank wine. On the menu was pecan-crusted salmon, southern fried chicken, gorgonzola mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, spinach salad with strawberries and walnuts and a brown sugar vinegarette. OMG -- to die and go to heaven. For desert was cheesecake, key-lime tarts and chocolate covered strawberries.

A mixture of rice syrup and barley malt syrup and a pinch of sea salt in my gel flask on my long run.
