Since I have been following a low carb diet, I thought a nice fruit
salad would be a good idea. My older son began dieting at work, the
team who loses the highest percentage of body weight, wins (what, I
wonder?). He only had 10 pounds to lose and the contest will be over in
less than 3 weeks. I did not want to jeopardize his team's chances.
Then Mr. Bill posted his coffee cake recipe and I baked that this
morning. It is all his fault.
