[Cheryl Isaak]

Yes!

Too bad. I'm watching one of the other orchards get driven in to the ground. C

which one? Mack's? does MacQuestin have apples? lee

I pretty much only eat when physically hungry any more, but ONLY if I avoid starch and sugar carbs by themselves for the most part.

I usually eat 1 to 2 meals per day depending on how busy I am.

I don't have time to eat on a "schedule". :-P

The old man appears to putting all his energy into politics.

Don't know - it should by now. Sunnycrest has the cider you want. C

if it was fixing stupid laws like not allowing the use of drops in cider, i'd go along. that one piece of overreactive legislation is destroying a lot of orchards... that & the "view tax" there is one distillery in NH that is allowed to buy & use drops (he makes apple vodka), but they can't possibly save all the orchards in the state (i think he gets drops from only two) lee

We should be so lucky. Name the liberal cause, he's on it. I have no problem with him having opinions, but he crosses certain lines... Lets not go into in here...

Hmm - what's the name? I'd check that out.

You can get Coca Cola made with sugar. Every year Coca Cola makes up a batch of what they call "Kosher Coke" It is sold during the week of Passover. This year I bought a couple dozen 2 liters of the stuff. Unfortunately drunk it all within a month as it's so good. Passover Coke is distinguished fram regular Coke by the yellow cap. I don't know why HFCS is considered "non-kosher" but it is.

First, Lee, check out the "health food" section of the grocery store. There are sodas that are made with sugar not HFCS. Making your own could be fun.

Ted, corn is a grain and such not allowed during Passover. The only grain product allowed is matzoh. Check out

explains why things are and are not kosher for Passover.

most of the natural sodas we've tried have been mediocre to awful :) Saranac makes pretty good soda, but the labels say HFCS... however, the nice people at Saranac Brewery assured us that they no longer are using HFCS, but haven't got the new labels yet. i have started brewing our own. we make beer, so we already have all the 'stuff' to brew sodapop, and i got Tom a kegerator for his birthday, so we can keg the pop instead of having the exploding bottle issue ;) this week i'm making ginger beer (good ginger beer is really hard to find, with or without sugar). i looked at the extracts for make-your-own-sodapop & they use artificial sweeteners for some reason (since they have you add

6 cups of sugar...). i don't do artificial sweeteners. all of the fake sugar substitues, including Splenda, taste really nasty (it's a genetic thing).

Canadian Coke & some Mexican Coke is made with sugar. it'll be interesting to see what happens with US produced sodapop as the price of corn rises. at some point it may be more cost effective to return to using sugar, despite the artificially high price caused by trade agreements, if all the corn is being wasted on ethanol production... why is it the US quit producing sugar, yet still has import restrictions/price setting structures? lee

[MikeSt]

That question has an interesting answer. You see, the price support on sugar was never really a subsidy for sugar - there were always too few sugar producers in the USA to matter. Its purpose was to make the price of sugar so high that corn sweetener would be used instead. So, it is actually a subsidy for corn, which has has quite a few supporters in government.

pH, total acidity, glucose-frutose, malic acid, potassium, nitrogen (protein), volatile acidity, and an awful lot of dishes.

[Billy]

In France (Brittany) they have cider, sweet cider, and sparkling cider. Sweet cider tastes very much like apple juice but can have a kick like a mule.

Quality empty calorie?

[Billy]

I only knew of wood creosote but I know now of coal tar creosote. Neither sounds appetizing or healthy.

[Billy]

And of course the ever popular alcohol and free and total SO2.

yeah, what Americans call sweet cider is fresh pressed apple juice, unfiltered. the fermented cider is called hard cider. American hard cider can be still or sparkling. if you add honey or sugar when making hard cider, you get cyser, which takes a long time to mellow, but is very nice after a year or more, like an apple wine. brewing leads one off in interesting directions... lee

Have you considered haggis? It'll put hair on your ass.

So, all those sugar cane growers in my old abode, So. Louisiana, got shafted?
