The day I realized 'no sugar added' doesn't mean sugar-free

I always grabbed fruit juices with 'no sugar added' labels, thinking they were the best choice. After feeling bloated, I checked the nutrition facts and saw high carbohydrate counts. A quick search taught me that 'no sugar added' only means no extra sugar was put in during processing. The natural sugars from the fruit are still there, so total sugar can be just as high. Now I ignore the front label and look straight at the total sugars per serving. I compare different juices and pick ones with lower numbers. This simple habit has helped me cut down on sweet drinks without guessing. Food labels should be clearer so people aren't tricked by tricky wording.

DAE get stuck with creaky bottom brackets until checking the grease?

I mean, I kept hearing this annoying creak from my bike's bottom bracket and thought it was shot. Turns out, I just hadn't used enough grease on the threads when I last put it together. Added some more and tightened it up, and the noise is totally gone now. Maybe it's just me, but that simple fix saved me from buying a new part too soon.

Picked up in Istanbul: Simit bread with a slice of feta and honey... sounds odd but it just works.

After my niece's birthday cake collapsed, I've decided kids shouldn't bake.

The tears and ruined kitchen aren't worth the so-called learning experience.
