I’m curious about the “balsamic sauce” – do you just reduce the balsamic? Or add other things to it?

Good food is one of my life’s great pleasures, I couldn’t survive on your menu plan!

Good Lord I know that one, even though I’ve cut back alot on my portion sizes I’m still not losing weight. I think it’s becuase I tend to snack too much, no, it is becuase I snack too much!

For example our peppers are about 1/3 the size of those in Canada and our PB jars are about 1/2 the size.

You are very right that food prices vary so much by region & country. I think what helps me is I never buy “what I want” at a store, simply what gives me meals and is economical.
