Should We Keep Chocolate Milk in Schools?
the days they ran out of chocolate milk before I came through the line were the days I didn't drink any milk at school.
I did sometimes drink plain milk at home, generally with ice cubes, because really cold was the only way I could stand it. (Or, over cereal. Mom bought only unsugared things like shredded wheat & grape nuts, but we were allowed to add sugar or honey. so, yum.) the milk at school was never cold enough for me.
My weight gain didn't begin until I was nearly 20 years out of school. When I no longer habitually drink cow's milk.
Is dating a picky eater a dealbreaker for anyone?!
it sounds as if the problem is as much how his pickiness presents itself Vs the actual fact of the pickiness.
you need to negotiate how he goes about tasting and reacting. instead of filling his plate hiding the uneaten, he should take a bite only, then only take more of what he will actually eat. He also must accept that if he rejects what's for dinner, he makes his own substitute.
You, OTOH, have to deal with adjusting your daily cooking to reflect some of his opinions. Cooking can be fun, but the day in day out feeding of your partner & family isn't so much about the fun for you as about the fact that people need to eat. Plus, if he rejects your food in favor or cornflakes or PBJ for days on end, you can't be hurt.
if you someday are having kids, he needs to have learned to reject in a low-key fashion so as not to 'teach' his pickiness to them. I won't go so far as to expect him to sometimes noticeable eat something he is known to dislike, to model polite behaviour. But it would be handy.
PS I was in a relationship in which we had very different food cultures. our inability to appreciate each others standards was but one of many problems. But 3 times a day one or both of of us being annoyed or mad or disappointed sure didn't help. If you cant fine some way to enjoy meals together, some compromises, then hang it up now.
Mixed Review: Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Biscuits
wait, the mix for sweet potato biscuits doesn't contain any sweet potato? What makes it different than Bisquik then?
Bruce's Sweet Potato Pancake mix in the 1.5 pound bag includes a recipe for biscuits as well as pancakes. There is enough mix for (so far) 2 batches of pancakes, I think we'll get one more out of it. I'm not sure what I paid for it, but it must be less than $9.99 because I wouldn't pay that much!
