When I make a dinner like this, I’m reminded cooking isn’t that hard. I made some turkey burgers in my grill pan, microwaved a sweet potato and spinach (today’s veggie of the day!), and boiled up some brown rice. I’m going to have this for lunch tomorrow, too. It may not be the most exciting, but it does the trick for me. I’m also doing lots of reading on this whole milk allergy thing (SIGH. Have I mentioned I like cheese? And Greek yogurt?) and will have a post soon about the differences between a milk allergy and an intolerance and some of the milk alternatives.

And of course I’m craving a glass of milk right now.

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.
