Cheese is a method of preserving the food value of milk over time PLUS making dairy food available to the lactose intolerant.

Cheeses for the lactose intolerant


Besides, mankind has not let alcohol indigestibility get in the way of imbibing.

But did Cheddar Man have any milk cows?

Alcohol is perfectly able to be processed by human metabolism.

Lactose intolerance is potentially serious in that it can lead to vitamin deficiencies. If consuming milk or yoghurt produces symptoms, you need to see a doctor. Mature cheddar cheeses contain little or no lactose so are fine for people who suffer from genuine lactose intolerance.

Lady Hillary and I are both lactose intolerant. We have found that most aged cheeses and yogurts with active cultures [We make own] are safe for us, as are good bries [in limited quantities] and, amazingly, cheese cake made with cream cheese but not ricotta. There are many other "likes" including Manchego, all smoked cheeses, Swiss cheese and its variants, etc.
Lunch today was Prosciutto, dates and Finnish Swiss. Yum!

Is it mascarpone in tiramasu? We got some gorgeous tiramasu for Crimbo, it was heavenly. But alas, the next day, I noticed I was dizzy, and I reckon it was the cheese in the stuff. :(

The wine was very good. Distinct vanilla overtones from the oak barrels and very fruity. Not as powerful a taste as I expected but the ABV packed a punch! (14.5%)

I am sure all the whiskies were very nice too but it gets a bit hazy part way through :-)

well, this is definitely off the topic,
but
what eye colo[u]r is hazel?

Talk about confusion.
Looking around for clarification, my search has boiled it down
to two definitions.

One is a reddish-brown color as seen in the eyes of, for example,
actor Benicio del Toro (very expressive eyes).

One is a muddy mess with no small amount of green in it.
I've got that color.
But I can't say that my eye color
is the color of a mud puddle with no small amount of green in it,
can I . . .

Hazel eyes are quite unusual and in my opinion beautiful. I'm jealous Keberoxu! I'd say they're rather like the shell of an unripe hazel nut: predominantly light brown, but with tones of green.
My eyes are green, just plain green. As I've aged, they've got paler.
My husband's eyes are meltingly beautiful, a rich, very dark brown and huge.

We have one son who is dark haired and blue eyed, one who is fair and green eyed, one fair and hazel eyed and daughters who are dark haired (except when purple!) and blue eyed. One grandson is fair skinned and blue eyed while the other is very blonde with dark brown eyes! I think we have genes from everywhere:-)
