Tonks:
This reminds me. When I went to the UK many years ago, they had the best Ginger Ale. Normally I don't like it, but I couldn't drink coke at the time, and that was the best I ever had. I liked it so much I actually tried to find it in Canada, but couldn't. And that is also when I got hooked on their orange marmalade. Much, much better than Smuckers! I don't know what brand it was, I can't find it here. I do buy the UK brand here. It is more tart tasting and I think made with real sugar. Trying to get away from the high fruitos corn syurp.
I just ate a Java bar. What is in that? I looked on the label. There is nothing there that should give me a migraine, but I feel very dizzy. I wonder it something in it has alcohol in it. Not that great anyway. I am looking forward to the Java cakes which I will have later tonight. I really need to go on a diet, all of this sugar is probably killing me.
And Steve, why are you 'blue wizard'now. Are you depressed? Or freezing?
