Who told them they could put * SUGAR * in shredded wheat???
I kid you not! I am finally recovering from that nightmare kidney infection. I have lost over 3 stone in less than 6 weeks. So, I am finally tying to start eating modestly but more normally again, keeping to a low calorie but nutritious diet. I go to Tesco and there's a huge long aisle chock full of alien cereals all of which seem to be primarily sugar when I dig thru the distracting and misleading info. We're talking even Cheerios and Special K! They were both too sweet as is from the box. Yuch! I actually threw out the freshly opened boxes.
So, I was just delighted to see good old reliable Quaker Oats Shredded Wheat (bite site). I get it home, measure out a cup and add milk. Taste...
Arrrghh!!!! SUGAR!
What is with these Brits?
Anyway, I'm back. Sorta, kinda. I'm starting to go through all the backed up mail and reply to it. I'm paying bills, filling out forms. All my personal stuff that I deal with not Alan. I'm determined to clear it all out by the end of the weekend.
Stay tuned, same Bat Channel, for my adventures in learning to drive in the UK.

I just bought a can of Irish steel cut oats. I had bought them years ago but they seemed to come out like gravel in water. However, I found oat recipes on the net and this enthusiast recommended bringing them to a boil and letting them sit overnight and finish cooking with blueberries (frozen), bannas, etc.He recommended adding bran and protein powder but I am skipping those. I like oatmeal but I like some chewyness. The store brands don't do the job for me. Anyway, I am hoping for the best for the morning.
Rice crispies too. No need to add sugar.
Feel better
