One of the nerve racking problems with
having a lot of allergies, mostly with a corn allergy, is that buying
packaged foods is a crapshoot. You cannot trust something as simple
as a bottle of water, cooking oil that claims to be just the oil
listed on the bottle, or frozen strawberries that claim to be just
strawberries.
Food is neatly stored.

When adding sugar to coffee, while
someone present to observe you, try to keep the conversation lively.
This will make it harder for them to know just how many spoonfuls of
sugar you've added.
The color of fudge blends well
with coffee. No one will know if you use it for creamer.
