About Cousin Lucy
- The woman depicted in the spoon is Cousin Lucy (1889-1983), who gave me the spoon and many gifts of her time and skill as a seamstress. She was my mom's favorite cousin. I had always thought the spoon was from Israel, but discovered only recently that it was bought in New York.

Hmm, maybe there's something wrong with you. Fruit always wakes me up, especially oranges.

'Cause you eat it at midnight?

i think you're just crashing after the short-lived sugar high you get from the fruit.

I get sleepy eating ANYTHING. I can't even blame it on old age, I've been like this for years. Maybe you're like me ;) I mean abnormal...

What lin said. I have the same problem with Pepsi, despite the caffeine.

I agree with lin. Fructose infusion inspires insulin secretion, which brings down your blood sugar, which makes you sleepy.
Or, maybe you're just odd? In a good way, I mean.

I think Samirah is right; there is something wrong with me, and lin has guessed what it is. Bihari gives a scientific explanation, which Julie's experience confirms. Claude, all I can say is, I like to think I'm like you, even if I stay wakeful when I eat non-sweet foods! Thank you all. At least we can drink water together when/if we meet.
