As yet another sufferer of hypoglycaemia, I'm beginning to think that it has nothing at all to do with diet. It's all about sitting too long in front of a Mac!

Oh PLEASE don't tell me that....I would hate to have to switch back to a PC for my computing....maybe it's worth the risk to use the Mac??

What brand of machine do you use? I have a mediocre DeLonghi capable of producing drinkable espresso, but it doesn't achieve the aroma of properly pressed espresso.
Recommendations, anyone?

Time for dessert

I'm a "Nespresso" addict at home. Makes perfect espresso, although it's a bit on the expensive side with the capsule system. But I have this Italian café around the corner, where I enjoy my off-time.

I broke my streak of no Coke the other day...I realized that maybe its OK for me to drink caffeine sparingly, instead of not at all. I experimented by only having Coke when I go to the movies or something....and I think this helps.

Does chocolate have caffeine? I don't remember....cause I also love my hot chocolate
That is the ONLY thing I'd get at Starbucks, but I never really go there...I just make my own stuff at home, with some fine ingredients like Cinnamon. Mmmmmm.

Yeah, nothing beats coffee made at home.

I also bought some of those disposable portable coffee cups and they work great for my wife and me.

As for chocolate, it does have caffeine but I think it's only the chocolate bars that have it. Unless you make hot chocalate "the old fashioned way", then I don't think it has caffeine. Of course, I could be wrong.

We usually use the Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix with some hot milk and marshmallows. Mmmmm...
