Of course, that could be difficult for subjects well outside one's knowledge, education or experience. |

That's how they serve the mangos down at the soccer field 1/2 block from my house. They spray on the lemon juice from a bottle, then sprinkle salt and then hot chile pepper. They put them on a stick and peel them first. Last they wrap a napkin around the stick so the sticky juices don't drip (so much) on your fingers. Um, good. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

A serving is 2 tablespoons, and that has 9g of sugar in it! The #1 ingredient is sugar (high fructose corn syrup). Besides, as a kid, my mother *always* put sugar in the salad.

I've had her KFed since her original snit-fit shortly after appearing, but I saw the exchange in the reply posts. I think you're wrong in lecturing people about how she should have been treated. No one ridiculed anything, they just didn't agree. They asked her where she got her information, which caused her to go into another meltdown and disappear with the usual flourish. This is not the right place for someone like that.. for obvious reasons. -- Reg |
