More on Demerara-
I was in my local supermarket this afternoon getting baking soda
for the fridge, and guess what was on the shelf next to the brown
sugar and confectioners' sugar? Re-sealable pound sacks of
Domino brand Demerara sugar for $2.29.

Andy,
Modern Marvels also runs marathons during the afternoon hours. I turn on
History International (HI) while I am working late at night. They run the

love that I can get soda the way I like it. But... they always ask if I want
