going to the movies
I'm going to see a movie later today. I very seldom go to the movies so when I do, I usually get popcorn. Movie popcorn is the best, isn't it? But today I'm thinking of making roasted chickpeas and taking them in my purse, so I can avoid the popcorn. I love the popcorn, but it usually causes my blood sugar to crash later on. The chickpeas would be better for me.
I am getting a diet Coke, though!

I think you're right. Hopefully it's really good.

I agree about the movie popcorn. It is delicious and wonderful, but I get a blood sugar crash from popcorn too. Roasted chickpeas sound pretty good, and Hansel and Gretel looks like a lot of fun. Enjoy!

I adore popcorn and have it almost every night for a snack.
Movie theater popcorn always caused my blood sugar to plummet too when I had diabetes (pre-surgery). But I do indulge when I go to the theater, and sometimes a few chocolate treats with it, and always diet soda, even though I can't drink it and eat the popcorn at the same time.
Enjoy the time out and the movie!

I went to the movies with my daughter the other day (we saw Escape from Earth - it was fun!) and had 1/2 of a hot dog (no bun), and about 5-6 pieces of my daughter's popcorn. It was yummy, and about all I could handle - I was stuffed. But, I didn't feel deprived!
