When I was in grade school I had a friend, Dory Minnick. She was one of 7 children, and they ate a lot of cereal.


Her house was filled with all different kinds. Her family ate those horrid nuggets with yellow moons and pink clovers, cocoa krispies that turned the milk to chocolate and others that were slightly more healthy.


Once a month Dory's dad would pour the cereal that remained in each box into a large plastic bin. The family had to eat the cereal mix before they could buy new cereal. It was always fun to be around when he started pouring.


I don't really have a good segway, but I wanted to use today's post to update you on a few things and Dory just popped into my head.


1. You all left the most outstanding comments on yesterday's post. Thank you. I had an amazing bike ride. Yes, I was a little nervous so I decided to wear a mouth guard on my upper teeth. It was so beautiful out I soon forgot about it. With each pedal stroke my legs felt stronger. The only time I remembered was when I took a corner a little fast, and I thought, "hey, you're not supposed to do that!"



2. In just three short weeks my husband's glucose levels have dropped to about 89. That's 13 less points and we've just begun. He's using blue agave nectar instead of sugar in his coffee. I've used it before and liked it. It has a very low glycemic index. We've only talked about it a little but he's making little changes when he eats away from home. That's very cool.


3 Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution continues tonight at 10:00 on ABC. It's also replayed on Sunday afternoons.

Hope you have a lovely weekend. If you celebrate Easter or the end of Passover, enjoy.
