I am training my taste buds to get used to alternative sweeteners, to the point where i sometimes prefer the alternative sweetener.

Is that what you use date syrup for? As a sugar replacement? My dad was Hungarian and would try and use all sorts of things as a replacement for sugar...but if you're raised with regular normal white came sugar, I don't really think their is a replacement...everything else Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405846924803538221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-66946747121726128392015-11-26T20:50:21.309+00:002015-11-26T20:50:21.309+00:00fish heads do yield a lot of meat we do not have s...fish heads do yield a lot of meat we do not have salmon but this can be used for paste or cakes Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816036373398677724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-21199885809667114362015-11-26T06:39:32.452+00:002015-11-26T06:39:32.452+00:00I'm drooling at the thought of salmon head sin...I'm drooling at the thought of salmon head since in my culture, we eat whole salmon head in soup or mixed with rice. It is so delicious! And costs maybe $3-4 a head in the ethnic grocery stores.<br /><br />Penny, have you thought of regrowing the head of lettuce by placing the heart in a pot of soil?

But I occasionally find good deals on Marcianoreply@blogger.com
