 My mother-in-law is lactose intolerant while also having gut issues that would 
be helped by eating yogurt so I've been working my way through the non-lactose 
yogurts at the co-op to test them out.
So far the clear winner is cashew. Most of the yogurts are super sweet and 
non-lactose ones are even worse. The cashew isn't as sweet and has just a hint 
of nutty taste underneath, a real winner.
The biggest loser so far has be almond, way too sweet and a strange chemical 
flavor I can't explain, disgusting.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Weekly market trip

[Clay via Mercedes]

I fear I may be developing a resistance to lactose.  Used to gobble down a bowl 
of cereal for breakfast, but to be more healthful, I changed to bacon, eggs, 
fruits, and toast, then just to a cafe a lait and bit of banana or small knosh. 
 Used to also have a reasonable bowl of ice cream once or twice a week, but 
dropped that because of SWMBA and keto idiocy.

Now, if I have a splash too much cream in the coffee or grilled cheese 
sandwich, maybe tiny bowl of ice cream or other dairy or a day, and bloating 
sets in with grumbles in the gut.  No explosive boweling, probably the gut 
biome has been changed to no longer have lactose bugs

Same here - drank it as a kid, but stopped as a teenager, haven't since. I
read somewhere that most adults world wide are lactose  intolerant, it's
just those descended from Scandinavians who can drink milk past childhood.
even then, you often become intolerant. My father drank milk all his life
until he hit 70, then was suddenly intolerant.

*12 double shots of Lavazza espresso 1 cup of sugar 1 tablespoon of vanilla
10 cups of skim milk*


Hot or cold?

BTW, our 15 yo kitty has lost use of his L hind quarters and can only
stagger around (ataxia).  Our vet said to get an echocardiogram (which was
negative) and then go to a neurologist exam.  The neuro would take an MRI
($2000) before making any diagnosis.  Since the cat is otherwise healthy, I
wonder if there is some shortcut treatment that avoids the expense of an
MRI that would alleviate his symptoms, e.g., a cortisone or steroid shot.
I am afraid that the MRI would show that he needs some sort of spinal
surgery that is either hopelessly expensive or problematic, or both.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Weekly market trip

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

12 double shots of Lavazza espresso
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla
10 cups of skim milk

That’s my morning beverage, made in bulk. I drink a good sized tumbler of that 
as soon as I get up (after I’ve fed Kitty, of course!)

Crappaccino!

Re: [MBZ] OT: Weekly market trip

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Back in ’99 when the spouse and I switched responsibilities at the time and I 
was staying at home with the kids, I had some serious tooth issues that 
required a crown. Talked to a friend at the kid’s school who recommended a 
local dentist that was right in the neighborhood. Signed up for an appointment.

Couple weeks later I get a card in the mail saying that the practice has closed 
and that I need to find someone else. Weird. Turns out the guy had a brain 
tumor and was pretty much out of commission, in fact, he died not long after 
this.

Lots of scrambling around by the staff and such and in a few weeks a new, fresh 
out of dental school dentist buys the practice. I sign up, get in and become 
one of the original patients. He was this big sort of goofy surfer dude type, 
not your typical dentist. Good guy, always told you what he was doing before he 
started, very engaged. Because we were only firing on one cylinder at the time, 
so to speak, funds were very limited even for something as important as dental 
work. I told him so, and he immediately tells me to have the work done and 
he’ll let me pay him back over time, whatever I can afford. Nice!

I’ve gone to him ever since, can’t imagine seeing anyone else. I have his 
personal cell number and he calls me a day or two after every appointment to 
make sure all is well. I consider myself pretty lucky to have him.

1.) We lived in Wisconsin. Mass consumption of dairy products is a residency

2.) Milk was/is a staple for our growing boys (now men) who consume large 
amounts as well.
3.) My morning beverage, “Crappaccino”, is nearly a gallon of milk for about 
5-6 days consumption when I make up a batch.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Weekly market trip

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I have been going to my dentist now for about 11 years.  His hygienist 
turns out to have grown up right near where I did in Indiana, she and 
her husband went to Purdue, she is a lot of fun and has lots of fun 
friends (and kinda weird, we had some mutual friends from sorta 
completely different directions).  We have become good friends, and she 
with my daughter as they are about the same age.  My daughter is here 
with me now for some indeterminate time, and the friend was going stir 
crazy as the office pretty much closed last week, so she came out 
yesterday, we met by the dentist office to bike to the beach.  He was in 
there working on some emergency cases and had a break so he came out and 
visited with us all a minute.  He's a great guy, lives in a development 
kinda across/up the road a bit from me.  I was just thinking earlier 
that if I needed any work it would be easy enough to get with him.  The 
benefits of a sorta "small" community, and good friends.

Popped in yesterday afternoon, there was hardly anyone there. Only good steaks,

short supply but I am fairly well-stocked in that regard.

Get off my damn lawn!!!

Chicken was in limited supply but there was some. There was plenty beef and,

moose, venison, and pork.
People were wary but polite, I didn't see any unpleasantness at all.

3 gallons of milk?  How much can you drink?

All of our supermarkets' paper product aisles continue to be totally
empty.  How interesting that this is true in MA as well.  Conspiracy or
nationwide shortage?

I went to geezer hour at the grocery on Monday morning 6A-7A.  It was 
mobbed with geezers driving their carts like they drive their cars in 
the parking lot.  Some of those people were rather vicious and of course 
they tend to wander and leave their carts crosswise of the aisles and 
are oblivious to anyone else around.  Then after going through all the 
checkout they stand there and oops realize, oh I actually gotta pay for 
this, then root around for a wallet and debit card or whatever and that 
takes another 5min.  I got a few things and decided not to deal with 
that madness again.


Popped in yesterday afternoon, there was hardly anyone there. Only good 
steaks, not much other beef.  Some chicken etc.  Plenty of eggyweggs.  
Other staples in short supply but I am fairly well-stocked in that regard.
