Splenda and Brown Sugar..
Half the carbs of sugar because it is mixed
half and half with brown sugar! (yikes!)
Watch the Serving size!
1/2 a teaspoon is not a realistic serving size,
and not a great trade-off for 2 carbs!
[Which come from the brown sugar!]
Splenda is a wonderful thing.
If you like that kind of thing.
But it's hard to find the Low-down on it.
I'm fittin' to come break it down for you!
Splenda is 600 times sweeter than sugar.
600 times!
So one little grain of the stuff, is like 600 grains of sugar.
In fact, one little grain would be enough for alot of dishes.
But you can't just serve up one little grain!
[You could, but you would probably not like it.]
So the Delivery System for Splenda
is where the confusion factors in.
That is why they have Liquid Splenda, and drops ($), and packets.
The packets are great but they have a carrier - a modifier in them.
Again, because you can't just serve up one little grain.
And by "grain," I mean a little tiny speck of product.
Not the real "medical measurement 'grain.'"
1.6479 milligrams. Not that kind of grain.
But, I digress.
A word about Artificial Sweeteners:
People talk about the evils of artificial sweeteners.
And talk about how "natural" sugar is.
Well, ok.
There are other sweeteners that are truly natural, and organic.
Table Sugar is uber-processed and probably not one of them.
And for some, artificial sweeteners have a place.
The table or the trash can,
that's up to each person!

The boring, but super reliable Cottage Cheese.
Not made in cottages, really.
And you don't have to live in one to eat it.
But it would be nice, wouldn't it!
I put little flakes of chives or parsley on it
to make it pretty.
And so I won't feel like I woke up in a 1950's diet nightmare!
More Atonement Soup!
People ate the first batch up!
This has extra hot sauce in it...
double yummy for a rainy cold day
or a dark night of the Soul...
....................................................................
Hope your day is wonderful -
with every person place and thing you see
gently reminding you of how much you are loved!
