I'm going to need the folks in the US to quit demonizing fruit as some locomotive straight to diabetes, please.
Dinner tonight was gyro marinade chicken skewers, air fryer baby potatoes, some leftover naan, and California cherries.
And while that's true this country has a very weird banging of the drum about fruit.
I'm also sorry to hear that. Stonefruit season is the only great thing about summer.
@Shelter I eat plums, nectarines, peaches.. no problem, cherries are the biggie that gets me. Oh.. and I have to be limited on grapes.
ITA w you that fruit is good for diabetics and nutrition in general. They do need to stop producing sweeter and sweeter fruit though. It's generally sweet enough just as it is. :)
@NiveusLepus @Shelter Um.. are you implying I'm lying about my sugar readings going up with some fruits? First, I never lie and certainly not about nutrition/diabetes stuff.
@Shelter @NiveusLepus OK that's why I asked. Bogus usually means 'untrue' but terms get multiple meanings to different folks. :) It does suck LOL I have 3 dwarf cherry trees and plan to eat their fruits.. in small doses :)
Think of it like a conversation where someone says, I was driving to work and a branch fell on my car, and the person they're talking to says, "That's bullshit," in solidarity.
The circumstances are the bullshit, not the information.
@TrueBloodNet @Shelter Yeah I meant to say that it sucks that your sugar is up.
@Shelter @TrueBloodNet I am the 80s ^_^
I'm also a quirky beast and enjoy the discarded slang of yesteryear, as well as colloquial anomalies like "That toads the wet sprocket."
That phrase was used as the name of a joke band in an old monty python album and later became the name of an American alternative rock band.
To me it always sounded like an expletive.
Bogus, groovy, rad, radical, gnarly, rockin, far out, Cat's whiskers, bees knees, etc etc
I, too, am the 80s. Born 1971.
I do a fairly decent job of translating it into regular speech, though.
@NiveusLepus @Shelter @TrueBloodNet I'm particular to Faboo
@Shelter I too have used Faboo on occasion. Also, my fav is still: Kowabunga!
@Shelter Cherries and sometimes watermellon send my sugar soaring. The rest are mostly OK. It's sad but true. :(
