fake tales of new york city....

ok, so this evening was my 3rd county diabetes support group...and given the date....we had our annual holiday recipe exchange and tasting party......gentle readers...this event tests my very soul, as most folks bring some recipe/dish to taste that involves gelatin/coolwhip or both.....omg....and these are not foods that i can tolerate sober......there was something orange and 3 somethings that were red......and then a cole sale recipe that used artificial sweetener....and a sugar free pie that had coolwhip on the top......the fellow who made this sent the rest home for my husband.......who will eat anything sweet......but i digress from the my point.....the two sisters who come regularly who are not actually diabetic were there, and did not bring a dish or a recipe to share.....but still felt the need to tell tales of when the shorter and heavier of the two used to live in new york city.....and how she would go to radio city music hall....and how she stopped two children running toward the elevator in macy's children's department by grabbing them by their collars...only to discover they were dwarfs......and you might ask just what the hell this had to do with christmas/holiday recipes and maintaining one's blood glucose during the holiday season......i have yet to figure out how to ask these folks gracefully just why them come to our group so faithfully....as little they have to say is helpful.......
