I have oatmeal everyday, so I'll have to give your suggestion a try. As for chocolate, that is one of my favorites. But alas, I can no longer have it. It is very unkind to my body. Just a simple Hershey Kiss will mess me up for a day . . . UGH!!!
Actually, I can have sweets. Like your dad, I love Nerds candy. I have to cut back, though, because my doctor (a stern British gentleman) told me to “lose weight.” It’s just chocolate I have a problem with. It causes severe acid reflux, my heart rate jumps, and my blood pressure goes up even though I carry normal to low blood pressure. It’s the oddest thing. Even the chips in chocolate chip cookies mess me up, which sucks because I love chocolate chip cookies. After all, they are one of the four basic food groups.![]()
What is Vegemite? I recall hearing that in a song by “Men at Work,” but have never figured out what it is.
