As long as we're on the subject of drinks, I've been meaning to share 
something too. Between meals, tea, herbal tea, coffee, etc. are great 
(entertainment in times of boredom, if you're like me) but bouillon is also 

nice if you're hungry or just want something different. It's also good 

before a meal to quell your appetite a bit. (My mom once went on a diet on 

which you stirred wheat bran into bouillon as a sort of soup before each 

meal, to help you eat less.)

I try to avoid MSG when I can, not because I'm sensitive but because I know 

it stimulates the taste buds for more-more-more. Many of the bouillon 
powders and cubes have MSG, but I have discovered "Better Than Bouillon" in 

my grocery store which seems fairly wholesome and has no MSG. It's not 

really expensive per serving, either. Here's a link to the product at 
Amazon for more information: http://tinyurl.com/5n2c7 
I see they only 
list the "Organic Chicken" variety, which is $2 more, but you're more 
likely 
to find the regular chicken flavor in your store. It's very good. I've 

also tried the Lobster flavor but didn't like it plain--had to make it into 

Lobster Bisque instead (recipe on label).
