Wow! Yes! I love the idea. I'm actually a Texan in B'more. I've already posted on the support group board. And wow Bev, I didn't know Ruchie was moving to B'more. This is all really good news, and spring's almost here, too!
About bread...my doctor suggested I not eat it after my colonoscopy in Jan. I have stress-related ulcers, ibs-c and some other problems, so I truly don't know the reason to skip bread, but I'm suspicious of bread anyway, so I don't mind staying away (it's hard though, isn't it? i didn't know how much of our food has bread in it - i've had to be very creative! It's been kinda fun. We'll give each other pointers, maybe.
My snack today: baked apples with lemon juice, honey and cinnamon (in foil with a little water and apple cider) yumm-o!
