ReDonna and far off friends

[Guest guest]

Yes! You guys are great! It has been extremely helpful having this group. I

really think it would have been much much harder otherwise.

 

I had a huge bumber though. I never realized how many candies have gelatin in

them! I bought a bag of candy corn ( I love them and only eat them at Halloween

time). After eating most of it I read the ingredients.. pretty much just to see

how much SUGAR I was eating.. Well .. low and behold.. gelatin. I had even

stopped eating pop tarts way back when I learned what gelatin was (and I

absolutely loved my pop tarts.. they were easy to fix and grab on the go for

breakfast or dessert!) and here I was eating all these candies with gelatin ..

starburst, skittles, candy corn! I guess it should have dawned on me since they

all have that gummy consistency but it never registered other than the fact that

I shouldn't be eating all the sugar in the first place! Isn't that crazy! UGG

 

I have been chugging' away on my NANO novel. This morning i got 1403 (total of

6803 words to date. Last year I only made it to 14,00) words done in about an

hour & 45 minutes. I posted the first two installments on my blog

http://talula_rouge.bravejournal.com ; you have to read in reverse order though

since they put the current date first. It's called Norrey. I heard the name

somewhere and I liked it. I had it written down in one of my many paper

journals. When I couldn't get my original idea off the ground, I flipped

through them and it jumped out at me so... now I've been it's slave! LOL

 

I guess I should stop blathering now! LOL

That's wonderful your mom is willing to try all your dishes, you

might get her to concert very soon too. I also know this hasn't been

easy for you, it's always easier if you have a local friend there for

support and to share meals and recipes with. I'm happy knowing we

have been your far off friends and we've been able to help you.

Hugs, Donna

but veggie food that I've fixed. Also, she talks about how she has

started to get sick when she eats meat.
