 NB>>> have found that the HFCS does seem to make my numbers not as
 NB>>> good... or rather, that reducing that intake does make the
 NB>>> numbers acceptable... ;)
 RH>> I try not to have any kind of diet soda more than once, maybe twice

 NB>> Yeah, I've heard of that phenomena... seen it with MJ, but in her
 NB>> case the stevia didn't seem to do that to her...

 RH> It's mostly because not all the diet sodas I drink have the stevia in

Ah, ok... that makes better sense... 
 
 RH>> One good thing about this trip--our son in law was diagnosed as pre

 NB>> He might be able to control things just with diet and exercise... :)

 RH> He's hoping to, but his mom is diabetic so he knows it's in the

As you've found you can do with diet, even though it's in your family,
too... 

 RH>>> Best commercial one we've had is called Southern Supreme. Last
 RH>>> year we got the last one a Fresh Market (upscale grocery store)
 RH>>> had, never got a chance to get to Raleigh to look for one this
 RH>>> year. They're a bit pricey but they taste better than any other
 RH>>> commercial fruitcake I've had.
 NB>>> They don't seem to make it into the groceries around here...
 NB>>> probably because we are a little farther from the south....  ;)
 RH>> I don't think they get above the Mason-Dixon line. We'll have to try
 RH>> to get some this fall & send it to you. In the mean time, Steve's mom
 RH>> said she'd send us some of her home made, which is very much like the
 RH>> Southern Supreme.
 NB>> If you do, I'm sure we'd appreciate it... :)

 RH> Trade you for a Wegman's fruit cake? Steve's mom sent up a couple
 RH> she'd made this past Christmas, also some cookies.
 
As long as they have one that's acceptable... :)  Some years they seem
to have better offerings than other years... :)

 NB>>> We did see the Claxton again this year, but there were also the
 RH>>                 ********
 RH>> GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 NB>> They're pretty ubiquitous... ;)  Didn't buy any, just noticed
 NB>> them... ;)

 RH> I think I saw some as well, and tried to avoid them. None fell into
 RH> my buggy tho.

If one had, you'd've been quick to put it back onto the shelf where it
belonged...  (G)
 
 NB>>> ones that Wegmans makes themselves, so we bought a couple of the
 NB>>> Wegmans ones over the season... little loaves...  One has been
 NB>>> eaten, the other remains for eating soon...  :)
 RH>> How are they, more fruit and nuts than cake or vice versa? The
 RH>> Southern Supreme ones are more of the fruit and nuts than cake type.
 NB>> These are mostly fruit and nuts, mostly whole... and just enough cake
 NB>> to hold it together, especially if one doesn't try to slice it too
 NB>> thinly... :)

 RH> OK, like what my MIL makes or the Southern Supreme. We'll have to do
 RH> some trading, come fall.

Sounds like a plan...  :)
