A gentle latte

That made me miss Japanese cafes

Cute little owl themed cafe

With some kind of some Asian thing called a Bao

I wanted a sandwich and the Universe was like no wait I have something better

It was better

Thank you Universe

They get the sugar right

I always find myself trying to get that taste from switching this and that in the American recipes but alas

It’s sweet, but not sweet

The taste of a sweetness that doesn’t assume its own sweetness

I miss that

I don’t know if it carries over elsewhere, but the Japanese habit of sweetening everything so it’s just not quite sweet

But still sweet

隠し味

Like the main flavour in things over here is sugar

Instead it plays a role and not the lead

Flavour

One of those things that is so hard to describe

Sweetness as an accent

I came back to Canada and suddenly everything was way too sweet

Sometimes being punched with sweetness is fun

Like with hi-chew

But I really do prefer when sweetness isn’t the only thing I taste

優しいラテ

Thank you for this different day

I will enjoy it

    I have diabetes. About 15 years ago, I felt like I was dying. I lost so much weight, and felt so weak all the time, so tired. I guessed what it was. I don’t care for doctors.

    Bought a blood sugar test kit, and with my second son, Sam, watching, pricked my finger and soaked up the blood onto a test strip. The reading was way off the chart….I was supposed to go to the emergency room, according to the instructions.

    Sam said, I should go to a doctor.

    No no, do you want to see me injecting insulin every day for the rest of my life?

    No, not really.

    Then, I declared, I shall change my diet, and exercise more.

    So I stopped eating anything with sugar or carbs in it. Started exercising daily, 3 mile jogs, 10 mile bike rides.

    In a couple weeks my blood sugar was almost down to normal.

    The diabetes though, it never goes away, and it really sucks.
