Sugar free again

Just been reading the old blog and figured it was about time to start writing again.
I've just gone sugar-free (again), this time hopefuly for good. I started last Sunday 24th July. I had three awful days of headaches, nausea, hot and cold sweats, body aches and lethargy. However it was all worth it since I now feel fabulous. I have more energy and feel properly awake when I wake up in the morning. I also started exercising again a month ago and that is much easier now I am sugar free.
I started by reading ' The sweet poison quit plan' by David Gillespie, it's incredibly compelling and advocates giving up frucose almost completely for all manner of good reasons.  I was definitely addicted.

Tried making sugar free cookies today using just bananas for sweetness. They tasted sugar free. Would be better as muffins with salted butter.  I will keep on experimenting.

Barra brith and being blessed

Barra Brith They say you start 'nesting' when you are pregnant, well, it's true - I've been into baking these last couple of weeks. Today I decided to make Barra Brith (Welsh tea loaf) for my colleagues, since it is my birthday. What a disaster! First it overflowed, surgically welding itself to the intereior of our oven, then it burnt on top whilst remaining raw on the inside, then it rufused to be extracted from the loaf tin. I wouldn't be surprised about any of this with my track-record in baking, but I made exactly the same thing using exactly the same recipe last week and it was 100% successful. It still tasted great though - once I managed to extract it from its tin. I'm not, however, looking forward to dealing with the oven! That can wait until the weekend. Hard times I've had a number of emails from friends recently telling me of the death of close friends and accidents that people have had; it has made me realise just how fortunate and blessed we are...
