I could probably eat a slice just before I get in the car to take a
bunch of kids over to Delaware to go sledding.  All that movement in the
snow would probably mean I could handle sugar.
The weatherman says it's going to snow tonight.  I hope it does.  I feel
like we haven't had enough snow here this winter yet.  It snows, but
then it warms up and rains.  It'll probably do that this time too.  I
was talking with our crossing guard a little earlier today.  She was
waiting for the kids to start coming home from school.  I was out with
the dog.  She told me she's sure it's too cold to snow right now; and
that it would need to warm up first.  I don't think it's too cold to
snow.  I don't think it *can* get too cold to snow in South Jersey.

We never have left over fry bread.  But then again we don't have a lot
of left over anythings.  Left overs are not a part of teener territory.

I think fat was less of a problem then, because people were both more
active, using up the fat they ate, and they ate less fat in spite of
bacon drippings.  Interestingly enough, vegetarian diets can be very
high in animal fats.  I have a young friend (21 years old) who has a
high chlorestral count.  The culprit: she refuses to eat meat, poultry,
or fish; so she's been eating cheese at just about every meal.
