Help me remember this breakfast cereal

I'll add my vote to those who have said Corn Bran!! It looks like Kashi Honey Sunshine, but much older (from when I was a kid circa 1970-80) and tastes like corn. Not sweet. Try it!

Help! What is kafti? I can find references to an orange ice cream and separately to "kafti kebabs", but none of these definitions seem to apply to the ingredient in this dish . . . "shredded kafti"?

Does Activia Yogurt Offer Any Health Benefits?

After a highly traumatic event in my life I developed allergies to nearly everything I ate; except for a few bland foods I would react with anything from massive intestinal pain, cramps, sweating, and hot flashes to anaphylactic shock. I lived through two years of pain and fear before I found a nutritionist who discovered that there was no beneficial bacteria left in my system. Although impossible to prove, the theory goes that my "fight" response to the trauma had kicked my immune system into overdrive and it killed everything in sight, bad and good. The nutritionist prescribed probiotics and after a month my system had improved noticeably, and after a year my issues were gone. I transitioned to a daily regime of yogurt with live cultures and swear by it. Yogurt -- along with a healthy diet and exercise -- can assist with resolution of "female" symptoms, intestinal cramping, irregular BMs, and even heartburn.

That said, I don't eat activia. It's got sucralose in it and I think that tastes yucky, plus I'm a little suspicious of it. I eat plain Mountain High yogurt or whatever organic/live active culture variation I can find that's just as simple. A little fresh fruit and drizzle of honey sometimes for flavor.

I notice that if I stop eating yogurt for four or five days in a row, things start to get a little whacked out again -- intestinal cramping and associated maladies. I stick to the yogurt!

Restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska

Nearly 10 years ago I lived in Anchorage for a year. Hands-down, the best restaurant in town for a fine meal with local flair was the Glacier Brewhouse. It's an upscale brewhouse, with high ceilings, a big fireplace and lodge-style elegance. Although they had filet mignon, tenderloin and, of course, many varieties of the freshest seafood, my favorite meal was actually a lunch item, a Thai chicken pizza with sweet Thai chili sauce, roasted peanuts, cucumbers, bean sprouts, Bermuda onions, and fresh cilantro. Oh, and to drink, the most wonderful hefeweizen I have *ever* tasted, with hints of banana and cloves. I miss Anchorage!
