Hi Dave,

 DD> When they came here they were paid the same as miners from here,
 DD> there, or anywhere. John L. Lewis was from Springfield (founding
 DD> president of
 DD> the United Mine Workers) and Mother Jones is buried in the nearby town
 DD> of Mt. Olive, IL https://www.biography.com/activists/mother-jones
        *********

Mt Olive, NC known for pickles, relish, etc, as well as Mt Olive
University. On New Year's eve, the town drops a big dill pickle into a
cask of brine.

 DD>      8<----- WHACK ----->8

 DD> So, I went back to chilli mac when I go there.

 RH> I would too; I don't put any sugar in my sauce and don't like a sweet
 RH> sauce when I encounter one.

 DD> A little bit sometimes helps - although I'm more likely to use honey
 DD> than sugar. Same w/BBQ sauce unless I want it to caramelize on the
 DD> meat. Overall I don't do a lot od sugar in/on anything except
 DD> desserts. And I only do those sparingly.

 RH> I've switched to stevia for my morning tea, cook sometimes with half
 RH> stevia for baking, half sugar or all sugar or honey. I don't do bbq
 RH> sauce; Steve smoked some baby back ribs yesterday but just used a
 RH> couple of dry rubs on them. There was just enough heat that my mouth
 RH> had a slight tingle of heat, just right. But, like you desserts are
 RH> where I usually get my sugar.

 DD> I mostly use honey as my beverage sweetener. And I manage my blood
 DD> sugar levels well enough that the occasional "sin" causes no spikes or
 DD> lasting effects.  Bv)=

I'm doing well with no meds, just watching what I eat.

 DD>   5 1/2 c  Mini marshmallows
 DD>       5 c  Puffed rice cereal
 RH>           *******************

 RH> My mom used to buy that for one of the cold cereals in the few months
 RH> we had them (between early June and the end of August). She'd get that,
 RH> puffed wheat, wheaties, corn flakes and rice krispies on a rotating
 RH> basis--when you added milk to the bowl of most of them, you got a
 RH> sorry, soggy mess but we had to eat it. Only one of the above I've ever
 RH> bought is the rice krispies, for the treats. Oh, she also bought
 RH> (regular) cheerio's, another one that got soggy fast in milk.

 DD> AFAIAC cold cereal(s) is good only as an ingredient is a recipe. Corn
 DD> Flakes or Wheaties crushed for breadini, Rice Crispies for any number
 DD> of sweet things and so on. If I'm doing grains for breakfast it will
 DD> be, most likely, instant oatmeal - with raisin, date and walnut
 DD> leading the charge.

I like a granola type cereal but for hot, will go for oatmeal with
cinnamon and raisins. Growing up, my parents allowed only a teaspoon or
so of brown sugar and a couple,3 tablespoons of milk on our oatmeal or
cream of wheat (alternating days). After leaving home, I began adding
the above, with a bit more sugar, no milk and today I'll even leave out
the sugar.
