It was a great day! should definitely do more of it.

Also, we've been cutting sugar out of our diet as a precaution against Type 2 diabetes which my Dad and Grandmother had, as well as P's mother. We've found all sorts of amazing recipes, including a fruit crumble with no added sugar (just dates for sweetness and whatever fruit - Patrick prefers pears, I like berries) and some flapjacks with just a small hint of maple syrup. Our sweet potato cocoa brownies were pretty cool, too.... We should arrange a "next time" and Patch and I will bring the dessert.

We must arrange another (though we're running out of summer!).

Sadly, it's rather more than just avoiding sugar. Pretty much EVERYTHING has sugar and or carbs in it and when all is said and done, they're still necessary.

I'll adjust!

Cocoa is okay and sweet potatoes have a low glycaemic index. My dad and P's mum have type 2 diabetes which is partly why we have decided to go with this halfway house of cutting out refibed sugar ....

I shall investigate; it sounds like a very wise series of precautions!

Maple syrup is interesting too. In one place I read that it had a low GI. Haven't really explored the science yet. May be worth looking at?
