I made cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries. Boiled them in grape juice and added a small amount of amé at the end, then let it cool. It's tart and delicious. Abelard agrees. > I made cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries. Boiled them in grape juice > and added a small amount of amé at the end, then let it cool. It's tart and > delicious. Abelard agrees. Abelard likes it!!?? I love cranberry but it's a little too tart for me. I made cranberry relish, where you run the cranberries raw with a whole orange through a food processor. I have to put at least a 1/2 cup of sugar in it or it makes my mouth pucker! Glad Abelard had a festive Christmas! Sherry Pat wrote: > I made cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries.

Of course if I had used sugar in it I wouldn't let him have any, but I never use sugar. Don't even have any in the house - not even hidden in prepared food. I've avoided sugar for the last 36 years. Never liked it much before that anyway. > Pat wrote: > > I made cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries. Boiled them in grape juice [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > food.

I won't give up sugar without a big fuss or unless I end up with a blood sugar problem. Can't be as bad as cigarettes! Sherry Heh. I gave up all fatty foods, limited salt, limited caffeine, and gave up cigarettes. I won't give up sugar without a big fuss or unless I end up with a blood sugar problem. Can't be as bad as cigarettes! If you're waiting to quit sugar until you have a blood sugar problem, how come you quit cigarettes without getting lung cancer or emphysema first? Do you know that unbalanced blood sugar is just one of a plethora of conditions caused and exacerbated by sugar consumption? I strongly suggest reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Blues-William-Dufty/dp/0446343129 The author was a friend of mine when I lived on the east coast. The book is a hilarious read and has more information about sugar that you'll find in any other book. > Heh. I gave up all fatty foods, limited salt, limited caffeine, and > gave up cigarettes.

While I don't always follow a healthy lifestyle, I have read his book and it is very very good. Its been years since I read it, but I still think of it when I pick up a piece of fruit rather than a soda. It was written close to thirty years ago wasn't it? My mother gave it to me, and I think my oldest daughter was about ten or eleven at the time. Part of what I think I recall is it isn't just a book telling you what not to eat, but it also tells you what to eat instead, and why. I still make sure I get peanut butter with no sugar added.

He's not with us anymore. He was married to Gloria Swanson. I helped cater their wedding in 1976. What most impresses me about the book is the historical tale of how sugar was a virtually unknown commodity that became so common that hardly anyone questions whether it should be consumed at all. > Heh.

Because one of those pesky cardiologists wagged his finger in my face about it after having a quadruple bypass at age 46.

I *really* get tired of self-help books that preach the evils of sugar, yeast, carbs, caffeiene, whatever. I have a friend who preaches vitamin additives, power juices, all-natural diets but she smokes like a train. I don't get that! Sherry > I *really* get tired of self-help books that preach This one doesn't! It's a fun read. I promise!! >> I *really* get tired of self-help books that preach > > This one doesn't! It's a fun read. I promise!! It isn't preachy. Its much more, this is what I did, and if nothing else I fell in love with a beautiful woman in the process, Jo to answer your question, for me, I am smart enough to know smoking is self destructive but to weak to beat it at the moment, so I do the things I can and am still working on the smoking, Lee, who is eating very well and still smoking tootoo much, > > Heh.
