AWW Porcelain, What happened?

Hope joy, I am even suspicious of my beef stew and I made it. I know it has nothing in it but turnips, onion, chuck and water! That's okay, I would rather be hypervigilant than slack.

Pork rinds! AND I only got two and they were kinda stale, but I flipped the bag over as I was eating one and saw dextrose.

Dang it! You've been so careful too. Dog gone it!
Hey, I did want to ask you where you get your essential oils from. I'm in the market for some cinnamon oil. Thank you
Hang in there sweetie. It's really good that you caught that in the ingrediants though. That a girl!

This place is where I got my cinnamon essential oil from but they must be out as I don't see it listed. Cassia is a derivative of it. They also have cinnamon extract but it is like other extracts with alcohol mixed in. www.sfherb.com but they have some fantastic stuff. Nuts and seeds and a ton of teas. The prices are very good. I will look around more for the cinnamon oil.

http://www.essentialoil.com/product_...m0cmg4j9pok5v5 This place has cinnamon cassia oil and is in Oregon but they want $5.50 for 5 mL. 5 mL is one teaspoon. At www.sfherb.com you can get a whole ounce (30 mL) for $3.50. I buy a lot of my stuff from SF Herb. They have good shipping prices too.

I had 3/4 cup of decaf with cream and NO sweetener a bit ago. Well, it official I have some strange intolerance to coffee (even decaf) and cocoa powder. I get the weirdest feeling in the front of my head just kind of a head pressure.

Anyway, my point was gonna be, I didnt really miss the sweetness! It was nice. Now I know what I suspected, it wasnt just the sweetener but the coffee as well and cocoa when I make the chocolate mousse.

Ah well, I dont need those things anyway.

Nice to know I didnt miss the sweetness though. Now I can start drinking ice tea again (decaf green tea unsweetened

Re: OPERATION "NO SWEETS" CHALLENGE

Mark me down for an X too... Party tonight got to me...mil brought over a pie from Marie Calendars... Strawberries... covered in chocolate with whipped cream... it looked better than it was... even though I didn't eat the crust... I felt like barfing afterwards... totally wasn't worth it! Now I have a headache! Chocolate's on my list of headache triggers... boy, was I in denial... but it's not a full on Migraine... just a headache. going to bed now, I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow. Didn't get to exersize today, as I was cooking for the boyfriend and entertaining all night... Totally should have exersized. I'm so dumb! Sorry!

Re: OPERATION "NO SWEETS" CHALLENGE

X me too! I was short of dressing that was sugar free, and the last bit of my dinner salad was a little dry. Not thinking. I put mayonaise on my salad.
I will be more careful in the future.

Re: OPERATION "NO SWEETS" CHALLENGE

Just an FYI, Duke's mayonnaise is sugar free http://www.dukesmayo.com/products/detail.php?product=4

If you can't get it in your area, you can order it online at http://orders.cfsauer.com/showitemlist.asp?category=37

I ordered from them a while back and bought the individual packets. They are SO CONVENIENT!!! You can carry them with you in your purse...even on airplanes!

I use mayo as a salad dressing frequently.

Re: OPERATION "NO SWEETS" CHALLENGE

I just wanted to throw in something. For the past many many years (perhaps 10) when I have fixed my daughter's easter basket, I only put one piece of candy in it, the rest are gifts that I know she would really like like a cool t-shirt or a CD. I never did like the idea of all that candy.

Re: OPERATION "NO SWEETS" CHALLENGE

Hello Challengers, Here's to day 6 of our Sweet Free Challenge!
Happy Good Friday for those of you that Celebrate. And Happy Friday to everyone else.
As we go into the Holiday weekend, I'm hoping that all of my challengers are going into it with a plan. Planning is everything. Sure, we can't control what is going to be at the Easter Festivities. All the temptations around. We can control what is in our environment. Make sure you have your legal foods around you. You do have control of what YOU are putting into your mouth. I'm rooting each and everyone of you on. You can do this!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter weekend.
Sincerely, Sherri
