Sounds like you got quite the scare, good to hear you're at home now. O.O Head tends to bleed so badly, hope she'll feel better soon. <3
Diabetics can eat good food, but unfortunately meats and vegetables are mainly the way to go. Als whole fibers, they're slow carbs. More meals during the day, to avoid peaks as much as possible. I had diabetes during pregnancy twice, so I got quite the lecture.
Vinegar at it's own smells badly, but the one in chips is different. I use the nasty vinegar only for cleaning, but the apple one on the other hand for a salad. Sometimes. Though I prefer pumpkin seed oil. <3 Sometimes I make a sweet/sour sauce, that's half sugar, half vinegar with a bit of ketchup and soy sauce.
So the foxtail is a type of grass I see? I could imagine it in a garden with some rocks and boulders around. :) We only grow grass in our yard.
Gardening isn't my thing, I prefer sewing. And procrastinating on a forum. :3
