甘いものはやめられない。これでもだいぶ食べなくなったほうです。砂糖も使わなくなったし、チョコレートも買わなくなった。お菓子を買う時は砂糖が入ってるかチェックして、入ってないものを買うようにしてます。このワッフルは麦飴（シロップ）の甘みだけが入ってるもの。そしてワッフル生地は全粒粉です。一日１枚夕食後にというルールのもと食べています。そうしないと、全部食べてしまうおいしさです。こうやって写真みたいにコーヒーやら紅茶やらのカップの上にしばらく置いて少し温めると中のシロップが少し溶けて焼きたてみたいです。もしくはトースターにかけて。

全部で４種類あるこのオーガニックワッフル（前に書かなかったけど、もちろんオーガニック！）、これは麦シロップ、あとはハチミツ、カラメル、ヘーゼルナッツです。カラメルは砂糖なので試してません（あと、ラアナンがナッツ嫌いなのでヘーゼルナッツは選択肢からいつも外してます。おしいしいだろうな、多分）。よくハチミツ味のを買っていたのですが、ある日、どこかでハチミツは動物性、という記事を読んでから麦シロップに切り替えました。ハチミツより甘さ控えめです。それにしてもハチミツが動物性だなんて考えたこともなかった。花のミツではなくハチのミツなんですねぇ。
このワッフルを作っているメーカーDe Ritは他にもパウンドケーキやクッキーを始め、瓶詰めのソースや豆や野菜も作っています。

それにしても甘いものの魅力というのは偉大！やめようったってそう簡単にはやめられない！砂糖を摂るよりこういう麦シロップやら米飴やらてん菜糖のほうが マシだと言いますが、毎日食べてたら体への害は砂糖と一緒らしいのです。食べ過ぎると膵臓が弱ってくるそうで。そうすると思い詰めたり鬱になりやすいんだ とか。望診法の山村慎一郎さんが、「私は意思が弱いので、甘いものをやめるのをやめました。体に害がない程度に食べます。２日間続けて食べて５日あける、 といった具合に」と本に書いてます。食後に甘いものが欲しいというのはご飯の味付けが濃かったりとか油が多かった場合があるらしい。一番いいのはりんごだ そうです。甘いものが食べたくなったら整腸作用のあるりんご。麦シロップのワッフルじゃなくてりんご！でもこのワッフルは６枚入りなので、二人で食べても ３日です。３日ワッフルで４日りんごにします。

The first time i came to Berlin was just for a visit. I slept at a good friend's place, which offered me a weird looking sweet thingy. It was a waffel, but not made of regular dough. It was made of Honey. Well, mostly honey. Back then, they came in packs of 10. We finished a whole pack the same day, and then i found out that there are a LOT of them. Filled with many many good tasty (and somewhat healthier than regular sugar-stuff) fillings. Also, they were made by many companies. Even though most of the companies were organic, there were a lot which were not, who offered more (this 10/pack for example) for less money. As usual with organic things...
This copany, De Rit, is one of the more known (at least in the organic shops in Berlin) companies making those kind of waffels. They have 4 major tastes, which are honey, wheat syrup, nuts and caramel. Don't ask me how the last two taste like... I don't like nuts. Especially not in sweet stuff. No nuts for me. About the 2nd one, i will try it eventually. the thing is, that rie stopped eating sugar, or at least she tries to eat much less sugar, meaning, caramel (which is, for those of you not aware of the source of caramel) is out of the question. I don't want to buy a whole pack of 6, coz then i will finish it by myself and be happy and fat alone. But, the honey one is really tasty. They have a recommendation on the pack, to put it on top of your glass of tee, and when it melts, eat it. This was a very good advice, that me and rie missed at the beginning. Now, we only eat it warm. Try!!

We didn't win. We were very close to winning, but didn't win. 18 million euros... We were really close! we had 2 out of 6. If only we had those extra 4, and the extra number, we would win. But! no one won! So, it means that on wednesday it's 21 million euros! The german lotto once came up to 46 million euros because no one won. The 46 million prize was won by 3 people (poor people, only 15 miilion each). 1 of them, was a guy who got some random numbers from his newspaper (like a commercial for the lotto), and decided to use them... Maybe i should buy a newspaper...

The Curry Wurst is 50 years old! Wow. For those of you who don't know, curry wurst is berlin's kind of sausage. It's a wurst, fried, and put in a lot of ketchup and curry powder. Tasty trash food. So, today, it celebrates 50. It was in the local newspaper (which i only see during my underground travels...). Celebrate with the wurst, and eat one. With ketchup. And Curry.


Happy Birthday aba!!! From me and rie!

Have fun, and see you again tomorrow!
