primitives discuss what's for supper tonight

[Chris_]

The worst day I had last summer was spending the day in the junkyard pulling parts off a car when it was 97° outside.  I forgot to bring water with me like I normally do.  I thought I was going to pass out.  I felt horrible.

Fat-free/skim is good stuff.  Try it with cereal.

No

I'm with BEG.  I never drink milk of any kind.  I will use it on cereal and in coffee, but never just to drink a glass.  Ick.

I got used to skim milk when I had to stay with my parents after moving back here in 2001.  It's all they had.

My mom will starve you to death.  That's how everyone stays skinny around her.

I like skim because I can drink it like water in the summer when it's 100 degrees outside.  It does a better job of rehydrating after spending a day outside.  It makes me feel good.

Actually, chris_, you may be on to something.

I go through three gallons of real whole milk every two days; in the summer I add chopped-up ice to it.

<<has faulty body thermostat; sweats like a pig when it's over 70 degrees.

But milk of course is a diuretic; it passes through one quickly, and doesn't hold like plain water.

Skim milk is milk, but it's watery too.

I wonder if it might help with alleviating this constant dehydration.

I'm going to try this next year, when we start getting Sahara-like temperatures here again.

Brussels Sprouts sauteed with toasted almonds in brown butter over quinoa.

Double barf!  Look how she capitalizes it, too.  I saw quinoa at the store once.  It looks like BB gun shot.

I will admit that I have no idea what quinoa is. What does that say about me?

It says you're happy.  Quinoa is remarkably similar in taste and texture to sand.  Cook it in salty water, it tastes like salty sand.  Cook it in chicken stock, it tastes like sand that's near chicken.  You get the idea.
