Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grama started using this low-sugar recipe when Bompa was learning to live with diabetes, but they were so tasty that we kept making them even after he had died. His diabetes, diagnosed during the stock market crash, changed his life significantly, but Grama helped him every step of the way and he lived a remarkably good, long life.
