A trusted colleague pointed out that defining "pasty white sugar" might be in order, to fix any confusion there might be out there. Let's start with what it ISN'T:

- Pasty white sugar is NOT a drug, even though it can make you feel VERY good.
- Pasty white sugar isn't your run of the mill white sugar. It's unique. It's bicoastal. It's complicated. It's one of a kind.

So, what IS pasty white sugar? Oh, that's simple. It's the stuff dreams are made of.
