The Cheerios Mystery

I like plain Cheerios and apparently my body does too, as in hardly any insulin needed! For some reason, the 25-35 grams of carbs (sometimes I eat more than the 1 svg or I drink the milk) that are ingested on a Cheerio day reacts like I only ate maybe 10-15. I have finally realized that and only bolus 3/4s of what is usually required for that amount of carbs. Makes me feel like the ol' pancreas is working sometimes...

Anybody else have a food that acts back-a$$ backwards for insulin needs?

My new website and blog are coming along swimmingly! I'm going to work on it a lot this weekend-though it going to be in the 70s might make that hard!

Boozy Beets?

I'm reading up on lacto-fermenting vegetables, in preparation for my abundant harvest I'm hoping for this year. One random article said, "Just be careful not to cut beets too small as they contain a lot of sugar and can produce alcohol." Hmm...beet wine anyone? Does it exist? Further research is needed on this one! *** Oh good Lord...it does exist! http://jinman2871.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/beet-wine/ from randomly searching and found the Prairie Girl blog!

Beautiful Boudoir-Step 1, The Dresser

I am finally redoing our bedroom. It is currently the ugly, rental-house beige that was badly applied. I have decided to use a all-over wall stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils to highlight one wall. This is the one I ordered! I have decided on the paint colors, a pale fleshy-mauve color and the stencil is a darker mauve color. There are splotches on every wall. I'm hoping to buy the gallons in the next week or so. This weekend I am re-painting our dresser (my Grandmother's Minneapolis Lugar Furniture Company , circa early 1900's-though not as fancy as the ones shown on the website) BLACK with worn edges and I'm going to use Briwax to antique it. I hope to get some vintage hardware too-maybe some crystal knobs to add to it. I'm not usually one to cover nice wood pieces, as it does have a nice grain, but the top is missing most of the stain due to my sisters and I spilling nail polish remover all over it and coveri...

Hot to the One-Touch

Has anyone noticed that it's damn hot in Minnesota? My cat Stickee, hogging the fan this morning I've been fighting with my One-Touch Ping meter remote for the past 2 mos. It had "Ping-ed" out. The thing didn't seem to read or sense the strips when inserted or when blood was added. I finally got fed up with swearing and throwing strips around and called One-Touch and they promptly sent me a new one! Awesome customer service they have. How nice it is not to waste 3-4 strips per test! Back on track with my awesome testing schedule. As for the home front: Too hot to paint right now... The garden is going insane with this humidity and heat! I have to take pictures this week. We've been eating snow peas regularly for a couple weeks and I've already harvested my first 1 1/2 cups of garden peas. I really enjoyed sitting on the stoop shelling them :) I quick-blanched and froze them. I'm hopin...
