Note: This reponse you wrote immediately above is in response to my comment
about cream in coffee. You state that you use cream in coffee because of
the texture, not the taste.

Note: this para of mine is in response to your conflicting comments in the
space of 2 posts. First response from you; you like cream in your coffee
because of the taste. Second response from you; you like cream in your
coffee because of the texture NOT the taste.

No, you cannot have it both ways.

Yes, so you said. That is why I then queried you when you went on to say
that it was because of the texture NOT the taste.

So, what you really meant to write, but didn't because you failed to read
what I actually wrote was that you drink skim because of the texture not
cream in your coffee because of the texture.

Whole milk, to

Perhaps you could try rereading this post in it's entirity. I don't hold
much hope that you will be able to follow it given your failure to do so to
date, but what I wrote and the incogrous answers you gave might dawn on you
if you read it enough times.

I'm not keen on pizza. We make it now and then but my husband would be
prepared to eat it more often that I would.

I didn't mean French Camembert, I meant knock off style Camambert.

I find the difference in price is not enough to discourage me from buying it
now and then.

Tch, tch Ann, you're beginning to sound like 'h'. Your indication of using
cheddar as an example was not stated.

I wanted some milk and that's what the store wanted for it.
I thought it was a bit high, but I wanted some milk so I paid it.

I don't completely understand how this works but when my stomach
is acting up and causing me to feel bad I can drink milk and my
stomach will calm down.

Could be, but it's been $1.99/gallon since they opened here about 3-4
months ago.

Next best pricing is currently $2.79 at Cumberland Farms for 1%. The
retail grocers tend to charge $3.25 - $4.50.

Aldi's continually surprises me on their pricing. Bananas were 44
cents/ lb this week and their tortiila chips were 99 cents (13 oz) which
are far superior to Tostitos at 3x the price. Lettuce was 99 cents
(same Foxy brand as the majors at $1.79). Large eggs were $1.19 vs.
$2.50 at the chain grocer. Whole watermelons at $4.49 (the chain grocers
charge that for 1/4 melon).

Genuine or not, it's still a specialty cheese that I don't recall seeing
in the dairy case. Next time I go shopping at the market that has a
specialty section, I'll (if I remember) take a look.

"From the National Dairy Council, "... in Cheddar cheese the 3.2% fat (in
milk) is increased to 32% (in cheese)...". Which makes the arithmetic
easy,"

You wrote: "And you used cheddar as the cheese example." Yes, I did, but
"cheddar" was not one of my search words.

Back in the olden days, before it was found that many stomach ulcers are
caused by bacteria, milk was a standard "treatment" ... the "Sippy diet".

Perhaps the cat had eaten it. I understand it was extremely runny

France is about 90% Catholic. The national hard spirit here is Pastis
which you drink with water. Judging by all the available varities
available Whisky (Scotch) is popular. There are about as many
varieties of sea salt available as there are of Scotch whiskey. There
are maybe 800 cheeses, they are made from pasturized or unpasturized
cow, sheep and goat's milk.
=================================================

You're all set then. All, you lack is a big ol' box of Ritz crackers and
you'll be off and running.
If they don't have them there I could send you a box.

Well, there's no NEED to do anything but lay down and die. However,
most people aren't willing do exercise that option.

A little butter won't hurt most people.

I haven't found any natural cures to be effective. Even if they were
effective they cost a lot more than cheap generic drugs used for
effective treatment.

The other benefit to me using cheap drugs is I can enjoy eating what I
like instead of a very restricted diet.

I'm still looking for an effective natual cure. So far things that
didn't work for me includes concentrated cherry juice, baking soda,
meatless diet.

Gout happens when you consume too much protein, fat, alcohol along
with
carbs. Cut the carbs, consume only moderate alcohol, and the gout
will
vanish.

My diet is almost zero carbs, and I don't drink (haven't since I was a
teenager). I'm starting to get gout. I guess you've just proved the OP's
point. -Dave
