that we used to go to before we moved out to the boonies. We will go into town to eat occasionally (not so much these days for certain) and stop at a remembered favorite place. We bring the food home anxiously awaiting a meal from "out" and look at each other with bad faces and it is always because it tastes like sugar. I do not know if they are adding more or just being away from easy food has made us notice it now. These are good, local restaurants too. Not just chains.

I do not use a lot of boxed food so I do not know but suspect it has been creeping up. We no longer have a pizza place that has crust that does not taste like sugar and the sauce, OMG it is awful. Too bad I really do not like to cook but I am doing an awful lot of it. Still, check what you buy.

I bought a 10 pound bag of sugar a few weeks ago. It has been a while since I could find a 10 pound bag, they are all in 4's and 8's now. I use it in my tea in the morning or on cereal. I was puzzled by it's lack of sweetness. The sugar had large, clear crystals in it. I wonder what they are? I need twice the sugar now to make it sweet.

Things are odd and it is hard to count on what we always used to. *****sorry, I just noticed the forum this is posted in. Yes we are part of the world but I do not know if this fits here. Sorry.
