Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for August 03, 2012

Well it wasn’t stevia and they didn’t use Olestra…

the cake is supposed to be a bribe, not torture

. . . well at least it wasn’t cyclamate . . .

Welcome to my world.

Wait. Is “animals” a bad thing when coming from an animal?

(It must be. After all, Splenda.)

What’s the difference as long as he thought it was “yummy?”

Yes.

Splenda (Granular Sucralose) works well as a direct substitution in baked goods.In icing, particularly butter/cream icings, you need more sucralose to form a stiff icings, making for VERY sweet icing.

One of Sucralose’s big advantages.It can substitute volume for volume with sugar in most recipes.

If the visual appearance of browning is desired (cookies and similar items), use half sugar and half Sucralose, as Sucralose doesn’t brown well.

Dan and Veridian….just went back to yesterdays comments and thank you both!…I have M.S. and every now and then, the meds I am on need help (when I am in “pretzel” mode) and I go see my friends at Buffalo Hospital to get said help…i.e. stronger pain meds and muscle relaxers….its no big deal…I am fine now and ready to HugPounce and enjoy the Ripster and his entire family!

The icing on that cake is chocolate and chocolate is dog poison.

If you couldn’t taste the difference, what’s the problem?
