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

*********
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.
