Thanks for the addition to my lexicon. Never heard of it before. Is it

related to the town mass suicide?

Now that I think about it - I could just add some cocoa powder and splenda to my

peanut

butter and whip it around in the food processor (I'd eat the stuff with PB most

likely

anyway) and have sugar-free PB/Chocolate!

Oooh, I bet if I go to Whole Foods downtown I might even find raw hazlenut

butter... or at

least cashew.

Trader Joe's has a very tasty pure cashew/macademia butter (nothing

added) that's very good and doesn't require me to use insulin.

Sometimes when I'm feelin' that old craving I just have a spoonful of

it.

If I want sweet, I sprinkle an envelope of Splenda on it.

It's not exactly lowfat, though, smile.

SulaBlue:

Great idea about mixing up your own chocolate nut

butter. I love the hazelnut idea!

WFS has alot of cheese but Central Market's selection

is even better. (I think I remember you are in

Austin?)

Have you ever tried Gjost (not exactly sure of

spelling)? It is a little sweet and tastes like

caramel to me. A little higher in carb than most

cheeses; makes a good dessert.

For some reason, this reminded me of a favorite treat before I was

diagnosed. I would put Pan crunchy peanut butter in vanilla ice

cream. Now that's just a distant memory, LOL. Sue
