My thanks to Bruce, Patty, and Vicky for some great ideas. Looks like

Indian food for lunch.

Noticed your email addy... couldn't help wondering... are or were you

a Petty Officer??? Thought the " NavyGoat " might relate to a US Navy

ship's " Goat Locker " , hmmmm? My dad was a CPO during Pearl Harbor

attack in WW2. I'm just a Navy brat showing her age... grin!

Now, on to your Cinnamon question:

Are you a hot tea drinker? I add a little cinnamon to my hot tea, its

really delicious. Joe Muggs, the coffee shop in the Books-a-Million

chain of book stores has a tea that they offer that is called " Bombay

Chai Tea " it has cinnamon in it. It's great. I'm sorry, I don't

remember the exact brand name (it may be Joe Muggs Brand) but you

could add a little cinnamon to regular or decaf tea and get a similar

affect.

I also use cinnamon in plain yogurt with Spenda and in plain Soy Milk

too. A dash on sliced peaches or sweet potato, if you can eat them

once in a while, is also very good. I can usually get away with

eating a little oatmeal in the mornings and if I'm out of cinnamon I

don't bother eating the oatmeal. Someone also mentioned using it on

chicken... ummmmm, yes, that's great too. I've even added it to egg

salad with celery and a dash or mayo. Just experiment, if you enjoy

the flavor of cinnamon you'll be surprised at the things it can

enhance.

Amazing that something that tastes so good can be good for us too. My

Doctor generally tells me " if it tastes good, spit it out " , but

cinnamon he whole heartedly approves of.

Hi Myla.

I graduated from the Naval Academy in 19.. oh well, lets just say is

was well after the " age of sail " . Of course our mascot was the Navy

Goat. I am reminded by my dear wife that I resemble (or act like) an

old goat --- she can't understand why I take that as a compliment!

Thanks for the hints on fitting cinnamon into a low carb plan.
