Isn't there cinnamon in Chai? Cinnamon seems to have a lot of health benefits.

Cinnamon is a common spice used in chai. The actual spices vary from region to region. I bet that has something to do with it though.

Walter will go trick or treating next Saturday at a Special Event for Pups.

Did you see where Legoland is having a water park day for dogs and their owners? I think it's some sort of Halloween thing as costumes are encouraged.

Is it supposed to be National Grumpy Cat Day?

Sounds terrible. Yes I have had several MRIs.

Sympathy like and good morning. I hope you're feeling better today

 

[French Quarter]

Yeah we still lean towards calling it MGM. Downtown has been so so many names in my DS lifetime, doubt Springs will be the last.

It will always be Disney Village in my heart.

I've had it it's 25 horrid way too cold degrees here! I hate the cold! It looks like I'm going to have to pull out the fleece leggings to put under my sweat pants, I'm also going to need a long sleeved T to go under my sweater and sweat jacket. Hat, gloves, scarf, coat way too many layers as I'm going to look like the Michelin guy so @MinnieM123 please take all this cold to your house. Thank you xoxo

I feel your pain! It was 28 degrees when I left this morning. Had to scrap the frost off the windshield.

I like to blend my own depending on my mood and the weather. Today it's cold so cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, coriander and ginger blended with black tea. A nice spicy blend should warm me up a bit

So, I still have a migraine. I'm finishing up my work here at my office this morning as best as I can and then going at noon to the emergency room. Cancelling my afternoon appointments as a trip to the ER here takes many hours. Then I will go home and try to relax. I can't possibly sleep any more. I will let you know how it goes. I'm hoping for some heavy duty painkillers but there are so many I cannot take. I guess we'll see.

I am not but I appreciate your nice thoughts.

So nice of you to provide breakfast for all of us on here.

 

[Figgy1]

I use stevia or the monkfruit sweetener for most baked items or pureed raisins or dates depending on what I'm making. I use either honey or maple syrup to help bread rise. I also use applesauce or banana to replace most oil and they also give a nice sweetness to things.

All great ideas, I've the done the applesauce and banana's for half of the oil, it works really good in breads, I don't think I'm familiar with monkfruit, where is that in the grocery? With other sweetener's?

 

[French Quarter]

Do you use any sweetener? Honey, or agave ? I'm stumped because I thought bread needed to have some sweetener to work chemically.

I've heard other people say that too but yeast works just fine without sweetner in bread because there is enough glucose in the flour.

Good morning and welcome back @betty rose xoxo

Glad to be back, I love Disney, but I love home too! I miss my own personal pillow and bed.

Wow...freshly blended chai. Now that is special. I wish I had some of that. A tea bag is far from the same but it's the best I got.

 

[betty rose]

Sounds terrible. Yes I have had several MRIs.

I don't know it's there until I sleep on my back . I don't really think about it. It's not bothersome most of the time. They watched it with MRI's. When it didn't grow they declared it okay. I no longer have to have yearly MRI's. Yea!

What is cinnamon good for? I love cinnamon and put lots on my high protein cereal in the morning.
