The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.

One stick is 1/2 cup. That would be roughly 125 ml of melted butter or
115 grams.

Any sweetener that you like that can be heated will work.

>>3 how many percent fat is "heavy cream"?

Between 30% and 40% milkfat.

You read it right...

That's the only problem I have with the recipes in these books. The
serving sizes are unrealistically small. But the nutritional info is
there, so you have to make the calculations based on what your serving
size would be.

There's a recipe in one book for Zucchini Almond Coffeecake. It's darn
good. It's baked in a 9 x 13 pan and gives 24 servings. That 9 x 13 pan
gives a cake less than an inch thick. It's foolish, I know, but I didn't
write the book.

Been reading you in the foodie ngs long before DM. You one of us now?

Kinda silly, I think, to do these unrealistic portions.

I'm not diabetic, but foodie, I am. Just looking to see how other
people eat and what they do with their food. I'm doing a lot of
low-carb writing these days.
