St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 34

[Greg the byzantine]

I have never seen caster sugar in the supermarkets. Furthermore, I have never seen it in a recipe until Kyrie mentioned it.

At first, I thought it came from the castor bean plant.

I guess I could put some granulated sugar in the blender and try to make a finer ground sugar.

The equivalent here in the states is "Superfine Sugar" (Caster Sugar is a British Term). I know most supermarkets sell it.

Domino's brand sells "superfine sugar". I'm not sure if Domino's sells out in Cali, but here it's a very big brand.

Oh thankyou Greg. I was thinking maybe it had a different name, but couldn't remember what it was.

(we call confectioner's sugar 'icing sugar' too, so I'm used to different names)

I do not frequent supermarkets.

Trader Joes is my favorite store because they have foods I can actually eat not the chemically laden artificial stuff sold as food.

p.s. I do not work or own stock at TJs.

Sugar is not chemical Not great for you, but not a chemical

 

[MariaRegina]

But Splenda, Nutrasweet, and other chemical sugars are not good. Aquafina just came out with a flavored water. Sad thing is that it has real water, real fruit flavor and then that chemical Splenda.

The last time I had a little Splenda was when I visited JambaJuice in 2005. Girl, did I get sick. It left my head spinning. I do not go there anymore.

 

[-Kyriaki-]

No, and I don't like them either, nor do they like me. It's easier to find less processed stuff here, especially in the supermarkets. I wonder why it's so different over there?

(we have plenty of processed garbage here too though)

 

[MariaRegina]

The USA is manufacturing processed garbage and selling it across the sea at a profit to underdeveloped countries.

So sad.

Then we wonder why people have cancer, heart attacks, and arthritis. Our immune systems are shot too.

Come Lord Jesus and save us, for we perish.

Good morning to those who cook rosewater cookies, to those who, like me, feel a bit lost among all those sugars, to those who think it's a chemical, to those who think it isn't but that nutrasweet is, and to other friends

 

[Anhelyna]

Good morning Emmanuel , from snowy Scotland

 

[-Kyriaki-]

Good morning from sleepy South Australia

That is great, Khaleas.

I hope he can walk after Forgiveness Vespers.

The first time I experienced that Holy Service, I had to go and see my chiropractor. I was stiff for a week.

Our dad, stepmom and I will be seeing Metropolitan Kallistos on Wednesday in Seattle.

I will bring my camera and will post pictures!

 

[-Kyriaki-]

Very cool.

My Dad is going to Oxford next month, and wants to visit his Church

*gets a mischevious 'wants her dad to convert already' grin*

*gets a mischevious 'wants her dad to convert already' grin*

Wow!

My prayers that he has a safe trip and a miraculous one too.

 

[-Kyriaki-]

Thanks! He knows intellectually the truth, but it's a case of making that step now, and he's like me - stubborn It took a small miracle to get me into the Church, and it'll probably take them same for my Dad, but I pray that God opens his eyes.

 

[Breaking Babylon]

I've been busy...

DC on MySpace. DC on Wordpress.

DC on OrthodoXCircle...

The stats are booming, and we haven't paid a dime for advertising. We broke 1500 threads and 70 members have registered... and there's a monthly newsletter on the way that we're hoping will be both digital and hard copies.

You should definitely check it out.

 

[E.C.]

I may have to!

Sadly, my week is quite busy.

Tuesday I need to help something after school.
Wednesday we're going up to Seattle.
Thursday and Friday are work.
