I'm not diabetic, but am overweight and not comfortable with it anymore, so I'll drop in now and again for tips and ideas.

So I'm happy when I can find tasty ones at the shops. Our local Foodland has all the usual varieties and also a box of large tomatoes with a sign that says "these tomatoes really taste like tomatoes!" So one day I bought a couple and found they tasted like the ones my mum used to grow, so now that's what I buy if I don't want tiny ones.<br />Still got plenty of Tupperware here, but most of the lids are cracked.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-69083654070229712882016-11-27T12:03:08.339+10:302016-11-27T12:03:08.339+10:30Those tomatoes really do look red, and so very del...Those tomatoes really do look red, and so very delicious ...<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-69783782847191105492016-11-27T11:27:29.058+10:302016-11-27T11:27:29.058+10:30My last piece of Tupperware was in the old barbque...My last piece of Tupperware was in the old barbque I just threw out in the last big rubbish collection it was nearly 50 years old I can't remember where or when I got it maybe it was my mums.<br />Merle..............Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-30369075022039555262016-11-27T11:09:33.461+10:302016-11-27T11:09:33.461+10:30Tomatoes the truss ones are rather nice, though no...Tomatoes the truss ones are rather nice, though nothing as tasty as the ones ones grows.<br />Tupperware, lasts for years as you have mentioned..mine went long ago unfortunately.Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-5639816538950525112016-11-27T11:07:43.334+10:302016-11-27T11:07:43.334+10:30Lee; definitely better eaten, they were very tasty...Lee; definitely better eaten, they were very tasty.<br />The sky was cloudy here on the supermoon night, but cleared as the night wore on, so the moon was clearly visible high in the sky, but too high for any detail to be photographed. it's just a big white paint spatter dot.<br />I can wish for rain for you, but I don't think it will do much good :(Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-56594703150454812632016-11-27T11:04:51.962+10:302016-11-27T11:04:51.962+10:30Andrew; tupperware was much, much, cheaper when I ...Andrew; tupperware was much, much, cheaper when I first bought some soon after getting married, those were the years of tupperware parties; but when I bought the measuring cups etc about 5 years later, the prices were already at the point where I decided not to buy any more. NOW, wow, have you seen a current catalogue and the prices? Way out of reach, so I get any plasticware I need from cheap as chips and it lasts just as well.<br />The features were visible, faintly, when I looked at the moon, but didn't show up on any of the photos I took.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-25807622660867081822016-11-27T10:59:39.976+10:302016-11-27T10:59:39.976+10:30Elephant's Child; a wattle bird, thank you, I&...Elephant's Child; a wattle bird, thank you, I've been calling them squawkers. Sad to lose the fejoia tree, but for the last few years the fruit hasn't been good because of a lack of water. it was over in P's section of the garden and she doesn't water properly. Instead of soaking the roots of plants, she wets the ground and all the foliage, even the roses are beginning to suffer. <br />I don't remember any of my mother's kitchen items apart from the rolling pin which is now mine and her big open fruit boiling pan that was used when making jams or pickles. I don't know what happened to that.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-71789559069592273732016-11-27T10:54:17.866+10:302016-11-27T10:54:17.866+10:30S.J.Qualls; sunnier, but empty.

Your moon photo is very good but somewhat lacking in features. Maybe it did a 180 degrees and the man is facing the other way.
