Me too Nancy, and most of the sweets I eat aren't homemade. I guess some of us just have a sweet tooth more than others.I eat too many sweets….usually home made desserts.

Conversation today between my Neurologist and I...
Doctor: You should lose weight.
Jae: I am losing weight.
Doctor: Oh, you're trying to lose, that's great.
Jae: No, Doctor, I'm not trying to lose weight. I am losing weight. I'm counting calories.
Doctor: How many every day?

Sept 1- The Western Choice: Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar & Pokemon Chocolate Roll Cake

- The Western Choice: Gong Cha Toowoomba Sausage Burrito
- The Korean Replacement: Triangle Kimbap (삼각김밥) – Opt for the Jeonju Bibimbap or Tuna Mayo flavors wrapped in crisp seaweed for a lower-calorie, authentic local grab-and-go lunch.
The Western Choice: Double Gong Cha Espresso Lattes
- The Korean Replacement: Iced Americano ("Ah-Ah") or Barley Tea (보리차) – Swapping heavy, milk-based lattes for standard espresso or zero-calorie roasted grain tea cuts down on daily sugar and dairy bloat.
