Our annual meeting was today. We incorporate it into the Sunday service and follow it by a potluck lunch. It didn't go too long today. There was almost a delay started with a discussion of the roof, but that was sort of waylaid by some mumbling. Also, I think we're going to have to add a category to our gluten-free, vegetarian ones - dairy-free. Hard to guess whether a sandwich has been buttered with butter or margerine and if the margerine contains milk ingredients (I am learning to dread the words: modified milk ingredients and "may contain milk" (even if not listed on ingredients).

One interesting feature on the cruise ship I was on was that they had a separate dessert bar with "no sugar added", gluten-free, and vegan desserts. Haven't seen that before. The buffets on previous cruises had no sugar added stuff on the main bar and labelled but didn't have the other two at all.
 
For people with dairy allergies, vegan is a very important word.
Freshco carries a vegan margarine that tastes very good to me, Crystal made in Manitoba. The Becel vegan butter and vegan margarine are good as well. We do a lot of baking including chocolate chip cookies and lazy daisy cake with the vegan butter.
M&M offers breaded fish filets without modified milk ingredients.
Oreos are dairy free. Dollar Tree carries Lady Sarah cream filled wafers which are dairy free for some flavours. They have another brand of cream filled wafers which have some flavours that are dairy free.

Freshco carries dairy free Haagen Dazs frozen desserts which have a green lid. Sometimes Independent has dairy free Ben and Jerry's dairy free frozen desserts.

Un cowed matter ... not hard on the coasts of Eire where there is much sheep and Hairy old goats ... some bold enough to want to be king ... some queens ... thu ζ arlotte 've eM in Greek oeille manner ... a slick aye?

Prolactin eze is a hormone that converts other steroids for hairy reasons ... and there it get fuzzy if not nuanced ... denoting how little we observe ... and blind fates!
 
Yes, I think goat dairy might be fine for me, as well. There's two distinct possibilities with dairy intolerance: the first is lactose intolerance, which can often be coped with using lactaid and lactose-free dairy products. All mammalian milk has some level of lactose. However, the protein, casein, in cow versus goat milk, is quite different in structure, making it possible to tolerate goat milk while completely not tolerating cow's milk. I suspect that this is my problem, given that it was my problem in infancy, and in all of my children, as well.

But goat's milk is expensive and smells and tastes terrible. Goat cheese can be pretty good, but varieties are limited and it's expensive.

Thanks for the info, particularly re ice cream, Jim.
 
We had trouble with an old goat yesterday ... he insists on scheduling although having some delinquency in recall ... thus slick voids ... God spots? Some curse ... it is like a barbeque in IsisTemple ... even the soup stiffens ...

Wit Jae Zeus one can make light and set fire to something ... it is grand to have a pyre that goes round marking time ...

That is the problem with goat cheese, it is expensive and dairy free ice cream is also expensive. Goat cheese has better texture than most vegan cheeses. Becel vegan butter is cheaper than regular butter. The caramel non dairy ice creams are delicious.

We drank goat milk for several years. It was delicious and had no objectional odour unless the animal was low on calcium.

Maybe it's individual taste buds/smell receptors, but I've never met a goat's milk or yogurt that I like the smell of, at all.

Bought a litre of whole goat's milk the other day, and I'm going to try a goat paneer with it.
 
In short we have all been buttered up with what isn't for the sake of false marketing ... accounts for the meaning behind incarnate (appears the way it isn't thus making room for deux machina ... counter rotating alternates?

Reminds me of the article about Vatican privacy passed off as sacred matters ... more salesmanship regardez la croc we're in? Some say a coquet as only half cocked ... travelling canis ... Va Tae! The going thing ... needing a word! There needs to be a word for all things ... for identification ... especially when getting feeling in the dark ... misty? Play it again Sam ... and the nerve was struck ... neuro forensic? For the front end does not know what it has got into ... aye! The alternate one was opened ... a sophisticated process involving God only knows; what? Punctuation counts and now it is often left out ... deficient ... like elipses! Bet you didn't get that far ... there is considerable wobbling on that end.

... 3 points for the basket case!
 
How was church today?: My church today was a board meeting. I'm trying to get our annual stats report done and rely on several people to give me information. The last question is about volunteer hours by members and adherents. I have no idea what to put for that! I know I volunteer a few hundred every year; then there's the choir; Board members, lawn mowers, quilters, pie makers, servers at funerals, those who change church banners and prepare the elements for communion, etc. etc. etc. It is easily well over 1000 hours.
