On vacation...

Hi Everyone!

I'd like to give you all a heads up that I will be gone from HW for 2 weeks (until 6/11).  I'm going to Brazil tomorrow and I won't have much access to internet.

You are all wonderful and caring people, I know you will help dbab keep an eye on the forum.

I just hope my guts cooperate with me while on this vacation.  At the very least, I hope they treat me well for the airplane ride over. 

Dbab - Sorry to leave you for so long.  You are a terrific Mod, thanks for all your help and support!

Happy health!!!

have a great time!!!!

Hi All, I'm back. Boy am I going to need some time to get caught up.

Des, thanks for taking care of everything.

I had a great time, thanks Des! My guts cooperated. I drank milk and ate fresh cheese everyday - I'm guessing the calcium helped keep any D in check. I think the US needs a lesson in pasturization because Brazil's milk is so dang good. It comes in a box!! And, only needs to be refrigerated after it's been opened.

Actually, you can get the ultra pasturized milk in the U.S. I found some at Food Lion in the baking goods section (like where the powdered milk is kept). Apparently that's all the rage in France and I think the rest of Europe. It's pasturized at a lot higher temps than ours, which is what allows it to stay good on the shelf without refrigeration for up to 6 months. You have to consume it within a week aftre opening, though, and, as you noted, put it in the fridge at that point. But I think if our rinky-dink Food Lion has it, most other major grocery stores have it too. I so rarely drink any milk that I just buy the little pint containers when I need some for a recipe, but I may try some of the box kind if it tastes as good as you say. Sometimes you just need milk with a muffin or a cookie!

Hey Lil, great to see you back and that you had a good time, but I'm a bit dissapointed, I was expecting a postcard :-(

Take care.

Dave

Well that's fine, hope you don't expect one from Deutschland

Take care.

Dave
