They're distinctive enough that I can tell the two apart from most
distances. Get me too faar away and they might blur, but that would be
much further out than it would be for you.

No, we both were busy enough with our respective jobs.

 ML> I'd just tend to eschew breakfast altogether.

I used to, then started a minimal one. Had to increase the amount I ate
while pregnant, then raising active children. Now, unless we're out
somewhere, I'm back to eating a small brakfast. Helps to keep the blood
sugar from crashing after a night of not eating.

 ML> For me it's pretty notable.

You've a more sensitive sniffer than I do.

 ML> There was a day when people remembered such things.

And others. Watching "Jeopardy" sometimes, I see people not getting
clues that are (to me) quite easy/obvious. But, some of it's a
generational thing--if I said "fizzies", the younger generation would
not know what I was referring to. You would porbably recognise the
tablet that was dropped into a glass of water, coloring it a garish
color and making it fizz with some sort of artificial flavoring.

Probably a good number of them don't really care either.

 ML> Likely either, but more likely the latter.

Probably so. I made bread yesterday, my standard 100% whole wheat. It
turned out really nice looking (haven't cut into it yet). Used Kirkland
honey for the first time.

 ML> Fruit juice is less of a good idea than fruit puree,

It's good in small amounts but have to be careful even then not to send
the blood sugar to stratospheric heights.

We've not noticed it with this jar.
