In my attempts to thwart impending lactose intolerance, I've been trying to switch to whole milk instead of hanf and half in my coffee. (Working on the theory that because skim milk never makes me sick, skinnier milk overall is better.) Unfortunately, a quart of half and half lives for like 2 months, while a quart of whole milk gets 7-10 days at most. While it's never taken me 2 months to finish a quart of coffee-filling substance, it usually takes longer than 10 days.
As I discovered, Monday, while making my coffee. It was a bummer.
Eh, you could have just scraped it off....
Have you been taking cooking hints from Sean?

I've never given myself food poisoning but the spicy chicken sandwich from Steak-n-Shake did once. I've never gone back since.
I don't want to jinx myself, but I don't think I've ever had food poisoning. At least never badly. Maybe I just have guts of steel.
I've heard that food poison is more common than people think - that most cases of the "24 hour flu" are really food poisoning. I've also heard that it's more common in the US because our meat standards aren't as high as, say, in Europe.

Nope, more like laziness. That last fricking piece of bread when I'm starving and have just changed into my jammies and am making a grilled cheese for dinner and DAMNIT, I don't want to go out AGAIN.
I've only had to go to the hospital once (for food poisoning - and that was not self-inflicted) and have since learned that I am more apt to get sick at certain times. That said, I don't have a strong system.
There are actually several UNC alums/NC bar members around here (fitting, since it's banking regulation).
Banking law and financing law - the bane of my law school existence. At least they know what they are talking about here.
bon bon, thanks for the flashcard tip. I will have 6 weeks between last final and baby (provided she doesn't come early) so I will have time make lots of cards.

Yesh, the only time I've had that it was a virus for sure. I caught it from my mom. The thing that sucked was that I ended up puking in the middle of Harvard Square on a Friday night, so some drunk stranger girl was trying to help me, thinking I was just drunk.
I've only had food poisoning once, and as far as we were able to determine it was Heavenly Ham's fault. That wasn't a fun Mardi Gras.
Nutty, you and I should share a cow. I can tolerate cream, but the less fat in the milk the worse it is for me. Unfortunately, you would get all the calcium in that deal.
