I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Dieting ...
Surprised, Gert watched me put 2 teaspoons of sugar into my coffee ...
I thought you were going to cut down on sugar?
No, I replied, I said I was going to cut sugar out of my diet, that's something completely different ... plonker.
Say what? Vgrrrl is right -- go with Splenda (I think) it's aspartame (yes? vgrrl?)--which you already take in if you drink diet coke. Of course a nice liquor in the coffee kills the need for sugar (ok, and the diet, but still...)
Well w-w, Gert forces me to drink Diet Coke ... sigh, I'll have to go google aspartame now. I was trying not to think about it.
Actually, I was entertaining a red wine diet ... perhaps if I just take liquids for a month...?
(To be read in a whisper: I guess then I risk gout like Mathieu says he doesn't have ... although Oncle Rufus might suggest otherwise) Di dances the giggling jig over Mathieu's outrage.
I am right there with you! I need to remove sugar from my diet, but I am not a fan of artificial sweetners, yet I drink Diet Coke (the only thing I ever have with sweetners). UGH! If only there was an easier way.

great one-liner
PS: It is NOT gout.
Oh Shannon, you really must come with me when I fly home ...
Well Mathieu, Oncle Rufus reads like such a respectable name ...
But I'm scared of sugar substitues ... I've read such bad things, or perhaps I imagined they're bad lol. Dieting hurts ...
LOL.
Really loud.

One of my Uni roommates did studies with aspertame... scary, scary stuff...

Okay ... it's settled, I'm going for the red wine diet. I'll see how I am after a month :)
