An Ode to Cheese

I loved feta

It made things betta

Until it bothered my tum

Which made me feel bum(med)

[Uh, maybe this is why I left the editorial side and went into social media.]

So, the verdict is that I’m allergic to cheese/lactose intolerant. An allergist gave me a scratch test today, and that’s what it came back as. I’m also being tested for gluten, nuts, etc., etc. to see if there are any other allergies. I have more questions to ask of the doctor (what about yogurt? What should I do if I *am* going to have dairy? Why is the sky blue? What is the meaning of life?) But it’s good to be on the path to answers here.

So I had a nice dairy-free soba noodle salad for lunch:

Luckily this won’t affect my boozing habits; I never liked White Russians anyway.
