Rants from a Diabetic
A few things to complain about.
First I hate that I cant cook well.
I’m mad that Walmart has decided to stop carrying a few items we live on 24/7. Such as, Dannon lite and fit carb control for Diabetics, State Farm BEEF corndogs. BAD MOVE Dannon yogurt company!!
And I’m mad that Clean and Clear has stop making their foam face wash. In a foam pump bottle. They replaced it with this yucky thick gel that feels heavy even after you rinse off. I have terrible acne breakouts. When I found this light salicylic acid foam wash in 1993, I was instantly in love. Been using it for 17 yrs and now I have to resort to proactive. Bad move Clean and Clear! Lost this customer.
Oh yeah! And not to mention…. Slimfast company! Hey you hear me!
I’m still fuming that you have discontinued the low carb milkshakes. It had (in a 12ozs can) 6 grams of carbs. HATe HATe YOU! If I could start a blog solely for hating you everyday for this move. I WOULD!
These items were , besides the face wash, were staples to my low carb high protein diet. That really helped me lose pounds and pounds of fat.
Now on to the Holiday shopping. I envy those people with very few family connections. Sounds rough right? I mean how much of a grinch I am.
I get major anxiety every Christmas. For instance, I suggested to Dom that we complete all holiday shopping before nov. 30th. In hopes, to spend more quality time with our girls. Every year almost every night and more so closer to Dec 25th, we run around in the evenings trying to find gifts for everyone on the list. I hate it. because we have no time to bake, read, craft, or movie watch ALL together. This is suppose to be good quality time and I miss out on it every year.
Were almost there and our lists are almost complete. But im trying to take the frugal road with distant family and friends. You know. Not get too spendy but still give ‘em something that says “hey I appreciate you”. So I came up with this idea for baskets filled with cookies and sweet breads. Pre-bake and freeze until needed. But I’m at a lost for a real awesome and yummy knockout baked item for each basket. I could put lots of mediocre baked goods or ONE completely awesome yum-o treat.
I have a lot of baskets to make and a lot of peeps to think about. So you tell me if the following is ok. Too much! Or just right! Please I need your help ladies. Send reply to rlgishi@msn.com
Your input is much appreciated! -R
