Got Milk?

Here's something ironic. I am very excited about milk. And not just any milk - a lactose free skim milk - akin to the skim soy latte variety I have always asserted should not even be called milk (i am not too sure why... probably heard it in a movie and took it as my own idea). Anyway, I think this one is from cows milk, but treated to take out the lactose. Anyway, why excited? Well, it has been a long time since i could take any dairy food without getting a nasty case of tap-ass. Well after loads of no milk no cheese no nuthin, I tried this milk last night and this morning and did not have a reaction.

I don't know if it will last, but for now I am going to make the most of it. I can't tell you how excited I am to eat some cereal each morning before heading to work. I had a bowl today and it was great.

My diet changes so regularly (the only constant being minimum fat/oil) as my stomach decides it doesn't like this or that food type. I am really glad to get this one back - although I have really adjusted to black coffee. It is weird. Last time i tried milk i went for skim soy (in secret) but I still had a reaction, not sure why. But this one nothing.

Anyway, I will try not to analyse it too much and make the most of it until symptoms return.

Tonight I bought some cous cous, and maybe tomato and basil cous cous with lamb, roast capsicum and a minted sour sauce (with diced red capsicum around the outside). See pic. The presentation wasn't as clean and nice as I hoped, but it was actually very yum and the the sauce matched really well. I did need a bowl of extra vege on the side to fill up tho.
