I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

GG - is that true for you with Sheep's milk or goat's milk cheese.  Find I can tolerate eith so much easier than cow.  Also tastes better.  Many of the small, "artisan" farms are selling their cheese in farmer's markets around here.  Tastes SO much better than the wrapped in plastic or filled with fruit stuff sold in stores.

Also FYI - all the "greek" yogurt is cow's milk - with added GUAR GUM to make it seem like what we used to eat in Greece - yuck.

Sunny - I don't know if the same would happen with sheep or goat cheese.  I haven't eaten any cheese in the evening for a long long time, now, as I really hate to throw up.  Mostly I just buy cheese hubby likes and he doesn't like sheep or goat cheese (though I've fed him some in the past and he didn't object too strenuously....)

All the greek yogurt isn't with added guar gum (though most is!!).  I usually make my own yoghurt and then hang it in cheese cloth to make it "greek" yoghurt.  But when I don't have time, then I will get whole milk greek yoghurt - The Greek Gods brand.  I'm fairly sure (though not 100%, as I don't have any in front of me at the moment) that there is no guar gum in it.  It and Chobani are the only two brands of greek yoghurt I will buy, and there's another brand of regular yoghurt - I think it's called The Mountain - I'll buy their plain yoghurt as well.  I don't buy flavored yoghurt, though.  Only plain.

Hi Everyone,

Blue .. that Cheech and Chong thing cracks me up!

Sunnyflowers ... did you see my note yesterday about what type of colored pencils you would recommend.  I have a nice set of Fantasia and they don't break off when being sharpened, but the Prismacolor ones break all the time!

Chickadee ... been thinking about you.

PIP .. are you getting settled in your new house?

Enjoyful ... the man is cute ... so glad you're really happy.

hugs to all,

Bren

Bren...we are in between houses.  My dh has been doing the new floors and some renos while I have stayed at the farm to pack.  We keep loading the truck with boxes whenever he comes back so the little things are going a bit at a time.  The plan is to make the big move next Thursady although the farm doesn't close until July 5th. 

Thanks for the info Sunnyflowers.  I have a few Faber water color pencils and they hold up pretty well.  Just very frustrated, like Kam, with the Prismacolor.  I looked up the Dick Blick site yesterday when I was doing a search on colored pencils.  I'll look for the Faber Castell Polychromos next.

PIP .. It's great that you're able to move a little at a time.  Are you going to have room for all your stuff at your new house?

hugs,

Bren

Prismacolor are wax based, and HORRIBLY made, lead is not centered, and they are KNOWN for breaking - what is good in that line, are the STICKS, square shaped, no wood, but I still prefere the Faber Castell Polychromos. AND, their colors match across the line: Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils, pastels,

Anyone noticed who the Food Network is not renewing the contract of???  Surprise, surprise....not that I've ever watched the Food Network, but I did read about what she said - No. Excuse.  None.

Sunny - heard the scuttlebutt about that fried chicken now diabetic woman.  I was on to her well before this wedding fiasco.  Something she said once stuck with me and I never forgot it...well I forgot what she actually said, but I didn't forget the opinion I formed about her.  Cancelled? Hadn't heard that.

Any clear MRI is a good one.  Congrats Mary!

Mary = YIPPEEE!

Wonderful, Mary - boring is gooood!!!

Yahoo, Mary.  If your going to do something....do it right, and you did.  Way to go.

Wtching Bill Maher, though - get this: women in Saudi Arabia are now allowed to ride bikes for entertainment but NOT for transportation. Wonder what the Vatican thinks of that!

Athena - waving back at you.  Hoping for no progression, too.

Ah yes, Saudi Arabia.  That model of the Middle East, and our great ally  I guess as long as it's only women that are oppressed - who cares?  Question - when the women in Saudi Arabia are allowed to bike - are they allowed to wear shorts?  Pants?  Or do they have to do it in full veiling in the heat?  If so, doesn't sound all that entertaining to me.

Love Bill Mahrer.
