I need to start looking at things like that! I can't have sugar yet but glucose is ok. Not sure how I can figure out how much to use but I'd love to experiment with things I can actually TASTE

In the words of my daughter & her wife SQUEEEE!
I was thinking that my chicken nuggets were the highlight of today but I’m wrong. You’re excitement is a true highlight!!!!In the words of my daughter & her wife SQUEEEE!
Once again, Google is my friend --- i found a recipe for meringues that uses a syrup instead of granulated or powdered sugars and several others that show swirling blueberry syrup/jam into them before baking and i already make that on a regular basis, i'll just strain some of it first to get rid of the crazy amount of seeds
I can have cream if I'm able to find any from a local dairy that has nothing other than cream in it, most creams have a ton of additives that are out for me. They have been having trouble maintaining supply lately but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open now because, mousse?! Yes please!!!!
I can't thank you enough for reminding me to think outside of the box and you can bet that I'll share my successes and failures over in my Kitchen thread

I quote myself....why does autocorrect ALWAYS use the wrong you’re/your and why do I NEVER proof read? If autocorrect is going to anticipate my thoughts at least spell them correctly.
It does work in Canada. I actually tried it a few days ago before sending it to my DIL. I didn't want her to put grandson on the phone and nothing be there. It is very cute, I tried the Mickey one. He says something about him and goofy have put their pj's on and have brushed their teeth and asked if the child has as well. I love when they do these goodnight messages, I just wish they would keep them but I suppose only doing them a few times keeps them fresh.
Great idea......but check with the store you want to shop in before you walk in with Buddy. Many stores have not allowed things like that in the past and now some are not even allowing reusable shopping bags. I had to run in to the grocery store my nephew works in to give him some gloves and while I was there I grabbed some milk and yogurt. I brought in my own bag and the cashier flipped out about me using the bag (I'm guessing she's a tad high strung) I had no idea this was a thing....she told me it was to prevent 'cross contamination'. I waited until I got out to the car before I LOL'd. Funny because she was not wearing a mask or gloves and she never cleaned the belt that she put my items on AND she never touched my bags so I don't know what she thinks is going to get contaminated. No way she could possibly know but I've ALWAYS washed my grocery bags and bins after every use.....I'm a germaphobe and have been practising for all this for years.Walmart home grocery delivery last night.
Ordered 2 weeks ago.
My review,,
Well it was nice to have things delivered to the door.
Got an email that it had left around 3:30pm???
arrived late,,that's understandable.(arrived at 7:10pm).
Quite a few things not available,,oh well.
Fresh produce is questionable quality.(not stuff I would have bought).
Frozen stuff almost unusable,,had already started to defrost!!!
So I decided that it will be small in store shops (Sobeys,Metro) for me.
Meet *Buddy* my new portable shopping cart.
I also bought a washable liner for him.
No more store shopping carts.
He folds flat and fits in my back seat of the car.View attachment 489855
I can attach my portable hand sanitizer to his handle too.
He should arrive in a couple of days from Home hardware.

Given my now, greatly increased, level of germaphobe-y-ness I would LOVE to use my own cart for groceries but I would never fit everything in one of those. The rational side of my brain realizes that I'm perfectly fine bringing my Lysol wipes and wiping down the store cart.
If they are not cleaning their shopping carts after each use then definitely my shopping “buddy” is much cleaner. If they want me to use theirs and not allowing me to use mine, they better disinfect one right in front of my face for me. I have my buddy for a long time but its handle is too short for me and the wheels are not big enough to move smoothly on bumps. I can get stuck easily at doorways. So I had it in the trunk but seldom used it before COVID-19. Nowadays I am using it every time I go shopping. I don’t use the liner with cover as some stores don’t want you to put things inside a covered shopping bag. I just put things directly onto the cart without the liner/cover. I spray it once with disinfectant spray before getting into the car to give the disinfectant time to work and get dried. I spray it again after each use before putting it back into the trunk. Most stores are ok with me using the cart so far. Longo’s may not allow as they don’t allow personal shopping bags at all now. I used it at LCBO yesterday. I may turn around and go somewhere else unless I am just buying a handful of things if I can’t shop with my cart.
I can think of lining the cart with thin plastic table cloth/liner but it’s not environmental-friendly. Think about the disposable masks and gloves. We have created so much waste lately because of COVID-19.Given my now, greatly increased, level of germaphobe-y-ness I would LOVE to use my own cart for groceries but I would never fit everything in one of those.

the stock I have from this will last me months though. I used to have a bag holder thing but I got rid of it because we never use plastic bags any more!
