Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My kids had lactose intolerance, not diagnosed till they were weaned onto whole cows' milk. Their ped put them on "Jello water," which was Jello with twice the amount of water. He was concerned about the lack of calcium in their diet.

Apparently the amount of sugar and food coloring didn't bother him. We switched to half-strength juices, and re-introduced dairy slowly, and they did fine.

I try not to think about any form of Jello. Food should not wiggle. I was never a fan of Jello, but it probably didn't help that my grandmother served squares of plain Jello on limp pieces of lettuce and topped with a glob of mayonnaise as a "salad."

I find I have to dilute Gatorade, because it's so sweet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who here drinks a lot of milk? I go through a gallon every 2 to 4 days. I use milk for my cereal and oatmeal but also just chug it from the milk container.

Maybe it's something to do with growing up on a dairy farm....

What is it with grandmothers and Jello?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't drink milk straight uinless I have something insanely chocolatey to go with it. Otherwise the milk seems yucky. But I love cooking with milk, cream, butter, cheese.

When I have an upset stomach the best thing for it is ginger ale. When I was recovering from food poisoning in France they gave me ginger ale, plain yogurt and those sweet-ish table crackers.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

ugh, just the thought of drinking straight up milk makes me vomit a little in my mouth. it's more a texture (and viscosity) thing than flavour. But i do use it for some kinds of cooking where the flavours are too delicate for the funk of soy milk and rice milk is just a little too watery.

I can't drink straight milk, but with a Lactaid I do enjoy the occasional milkshake or egg cream.

Sometimes I put milk in my coffee. Today it's 1/2 & 1/2. But then I'll go for weeks only wanting it black.

I don't drink milk, or even put it on cereal. Ice cream, milkshakes, cheese, clotted cream on scones ... all of those things are wonderful. Milk? Ew. Its only use is in coffee, and only about a tablespoon for that.

I'm at the office! This is ... weird.
