It's the first new stove I've ever had. Every stove I've cooked on
before was already in the house when I moved in. I've been cooking
four or more days a week since 1972 or so. It's conceivable that I'll
get tired of my new stove. It's conceivable that I'll get a
commission to paint murals on the Brooklyn Bridge.

My old college roommate dropped by a month ago. He's living with
diabetes now, too. No beer. This guy without beer is like the Pope
without his funny hat. Like Rachel Ray without a tight shirt. Like
chili without meat. But roomie's father didn't take care of his
diabetes and died from the complications. So my friend is serious
about his health. At 52, he wants to live a long active life yet.

D tells me the South Beach diet she's following these days resembles
her mother's diabetic diet in several ways. (My mother-in-law has
lived with early onset diabetes for 68 years.) Are you familiar with
South Beach? The guy who designed it did so for his heart patients,
so it's not really aimed at diabetes maintenance. But still...
