RE: Holiday Food

While until recently I could drink milk, eat ice cream and all manner of
other dairy products without distress, I have always had a violent reaction
to cheese.  (A neighbor tried to hide cheese in mashed potatoes, thinking it
was all in my head.  I didn't taste the cheese but she had a large mess to
clean up and an apology to me and mom to make too).  Some folks are amazed I
could get through 53 years without eating the stuff, but I know the reaction
and I'd just as soon NOT tempt fate, as it were.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

I don't know about yogurt (wretched goop), but cheese will definitely
trigger the lactose-intolerant reaction in me. I guess I was lucky,
didn't become lactose-intolerant until my early 40's. But what a blasted
nuisance I must say.
