assistant: Hello Ghislaine:
Thanks for the recipe, it looks good to me.
You must be quite tiny to weigh that much.  Me the reason for watching my
foods
is because I am diabetic and have a Cholesterol Problem, nice combo I know,
but since I have cut out a lot of fats I lost almost 30 pounds, I am not
complaining, and I also find that I don't like all that type of food anymore
since I got away from it.

In that case I really can't help, over here compressed yeast is live yeast.
I'd be inclined to try 'a' measurement and check out the results until I
got it right.
Ought to work then, hopefully. :)

Well bob, in my experience wok-food doesn't require a lot of
preparation-time. After all, it IS stirr-fry food. And oriental foods are
often garnished with fruit, honey, ginger and/or soy-sauce.

assistant: Hello Gigi:
I am 5 foot 6 inches tall myself.  Still short enought to have probs.
Sorry to hear that, I know what you mean, but I cannot spell it out.  Your
thryoid gland, is it underactive?...I have the same problem, was diagnosed
right after my 30th birthday all at the same time with underactive thyroid,
diabetes and environmental asthma (allergy related).  I felt like the bottom
fell out on me and I had the weight of the world on me all at once.  But
lately
I feel better as I have a grip on things, and things are looking up for me.
I agree with you there no problem.  My kids eat Kraft Dinner, and Chicken
Weiners.  I find the stuff is sooooooo grosssssss now.  And of course being
diabetic I got away from sweets (was not really big on sweets before except
for
ice cream)....and don't really care for it, although I do get an urge now
again
and will grab a small cookie as a result.
Can do definetly, subsitute the sugar with Splenda, although there is really
not
that much sugar to it.  Just because I am diabetic does not mean I have cut
out
all sugar, just a good part of it.  And of course non-fat yogurt...perfect.
Thanks Gigi.....it sounds absolutly delicious and Strawberries are in season
too.  YUMM<MMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
