that sounds yum, Hil.

I get the Greek yogurt at Whole Foods, because it is 20 cents cheaper than at Trader Joe's.

I've been known to mix honey and vanilla into yoghurt, haven't tried the cinnamon yet. That sounds like it would be good for breakfast.

On the way to work on the bus, I pass by the TJ's in the U District. On desperate potluck days I stop in there for stuff to bring. Last night it was TJ's chocolate chip cookies and a half-gallon of Double Rainbow chocolate super-premium ice cream. (Super-premium is the highest possible fat content of all ice cream, but it was the only thing large enough for 16 people.)

On the way home, the bus passes the Whole Foods in the Roosevelt District. When I park at the church park-n-ride I sometimes wander through there, just to look at the mega-expensive cheeses. The one time I actually went in there to shop, though, I couldn't find what I was looking for. Razors. Of any kind. Store has 7 different brands of psyllium fiber, but no implements to shave one's face. However, there's a QFC a couple blocks north (still on the way to the car), and they have the ordinary things that people actually use instead of gawk at.

They haven't figured out a way to grow razors in an organic, fair-trade manner yet.

They're in the same row as the toothpaste, last I checked.

However, as the sort of razors one can get at WF or PCC won't work well on my tender and easily-irritated skin, were I at WF and needing one, I'd swallow my LWG and go upstairs to the Bartell's.

askye, I comsume Splenda in a lot of things, and I suspect it gives me jittery headachy almost-like-too-much-sugar feelings, especially combined with caffeine. Not bad enough for me to stop substituting it for sugar though, at least while I'm trying to lose weight. You aren't the first person I've heard complain about it, though - apparently some bodies don't like it. Maybe it's the chlorine.

Me happy now.

Zen thanks for the info. hopefully we'll get the regular diet Coke back, I like my aspartame. Someone a bit higher up on the food chain was in here the other day talking about how bad aspartame is for you and how it might be a cause for Guld War syndrome and that pallets of diet coke sat around and turned into formaldohyde. Which I could totally debunk with snopes, but I wasn't about to piss anyone off.

All fake sugars just taste like chemicals to me. I love my real sugars too much, I think.
