Never heard of Klim just looked it up seems to be sold every where. Back when my boys were young and drinking milk like crazy the price of milk sky rocketed so we used half powdered milk and whole milk to cut the cost. Mixed with a little Hersey's chocolate they never knew the difference
Well, I'm a really picky eater, but I have nothing on my son. When I was growing up, food was a battleground and I refuse to make it that way for my kids. It only did harm for me. There was no option to just not eat that meal. You ate what my mother put in front of you, and you ate as much of it as she wanted you to eat, and don't you dare make faces or say you don't like it. Dinner time became a huge anxiety trigger for me and to this day, I get apprehensive about eating at someone's home, because it was so ingrained in my head that I wasn't allowed to not like something....it was rude. Someone took the time and energy to make a meal for you, and you'd better show your appreciation. And I do get that, but I also think it's a bad idea to pretend to like something when you don't. You shouldn't have to exclaim how great something is when you can barely choke it down. It's ok not to like everything and it's ok to say "No, thank you". And my mom would get angry if we went to a fast food place (pre-chicken nugget days) when I would order my burger plain and they forgot and put mustard and ketchup on it anyway and I would want her to take it back. She wouldn't do it. I still had to eat it. I'm a firm believer in if I ordered it and paid for it, it better be what I ordered. If it's not, you are making me a new one the way I ordered it. My mother would just get angry with me for not liking it and force me to eat it so she didn't have to go to the trouble of getting a new one. I won't do that to my kids. I know that anxiety and the fear of trying new things because I wasn't allowed to say I didn't like it, and I was going to have to eat it regardless. I'm in my 40s and just now getting to the point where I can try something new, knowing no one is going to be mad at me or force me to eat it if I don't like it. I can't expect more out of my kids than I'm willing to expect of myself, so I treat them like I wish I had been treated. And my mom was so hypocritical! She wouldn't eat things she didn't like, wouldn't try something new if it contained something she didn't like. My husband made a traditional Dutch meal for her and first she ridiculed him, then refused to take even a bite of it. If I'd have done that, she'd have tanned my hide!
Oh man, my mom would get furious at me for gagging. I swear, sometimes she delighted in giving me more of the foods she knew I hated to teach me a lesson. And what's stupid is that most of the things I didn't like were the things that were really bad for me anyway. I LOVED vegetables. Broccoli, spinach, green beans, brussells sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, squash, asperagus....almost anything. I did not like fried zucchini because it was slimy. (Now it's one of my favorites) And I didn't like raw tomatoes or cucumbers, and I don't like green peppers, though I recently discovered I'm ok with red....they aren't my favorite, but I'll eat them. The things I don't like are like...condiments. Butter (unless it's melted...melted is fine), mustard, ketchup, mayo, pickle rellish. So things like potato salad or egg salad...nope. I don't like the texture of boiled eggs, so I won't eat those. Coleslaw....blech. But none of those things are healthy except those few veggies, and since I ate all the others, it shouldn't have been a big deal. Why force feed me unhealthy food when I ate the healthier things without issue? It made no sense. She never had to fight me on fruits and veggies. But go to a BBQ with friends, and the friend brought potato salad, I HAD to eat the potato salad, even though I ate a burger or hotdog and a large helping of fruit salad and some carrots, etc. Like, do you WANT me to be obese and get heart disease? I still don't understand why it was such a huge deal to her. She just had to be in control of me, even if it wasn't in my best interest.My mom made me eat pickled beets once and I think I gagged doing it so much I never had to again. I think because I was the youngest I got away with being a little more picky than my sister. We were allowed to not take food but we had to eat what we took, but I got away with picking out the celery and onions from my potato salad and macaroni salads as I didn't and still don't like crunchy stuff in that food. Maybe it helped that my mom and dad liked the celery and onions so I would pick it out and give it to them so then they had more!
Also when my dad was diagnosed with high cholesterol my mom immediately started cutting out our high fat foods, which she should have but we always had milk with our dinner and we switched right away from whole milk to skim milk, there was no using up the whole milk and a gradual shift to the skim. The day of our switch she wouldn't let us leave the table until we drank the whole glass of skim milk, it tasted so gross to us. We eventually got used to it but it was a rough switch at first.
I think it helped that my mom was a good cook so there wasn't much that we didn't want to eat although I didn't care for her scalloped potatoes with canned tuna, but I still ate it because I wanted my nightly treat.
This Susan did that once with zucchini bread. Forgot to put in the sugar....fortunately I realized it when they had been in the oven for only a few seconds, because it just wasn't the right consistency, so I was going through the ingredients. I just took it out, mixed in the sugar and put it back in. I also forgot the cream once that you are supposed to mix in with the melted white chocolate for a cheesecake. That one was too late to fix, so I just made a 2nd one, in case the first didn't turn out....didn't need to bother. It was fine. But hey, then I had an extra cheesecake....happy little mistake!
Although it works okay for cooking and baking but drinking, no thanks.
I saw that yesterday. What else can get thrown at us this year. Oh wait, bet it will be aliens.Anyone else here excited about the asteroid that's going to send us all into oblivion?
Oh, great: NASA says an asteroid is headed our way right before Election Day | CNN
Well, 2020 just keeps getting better all the time.www.cnn.com
My friend uses it. She loves it. She is one of my IG friends also. She said that the veggies are not in bad shape at all.
Wow! Good for you! Fifteen pounds is a lot of weight to drop. Hard to believe that beer has so many calories (I don't drink beer). But I certainly eat my share of tasty treats, that have plenty of empty calories.
I have no clue how much milk costs.
My DD. She was a frequent flier Club member at our ER rooms. I actually alternated ER rooms. Only once did she hurt herself at home. Friends, school, daycare And sports. I always brought the incident Reports with me to ER rooms so we could skip the interrogation of cause of injury.
A kid broke my older ds's wrist and the school sent him home without a report or even a phone call. That wasn't a fun evening in the ER for the first hour. We had to sign the releases and he was done with X Rays before we could see him. He didn't go back to that school ever. We were in the superintendent's office first thing the next morning. The teacher "retired" a couple of weeks later
I was thinking about trying them after the farm markets close. THNX
My son did this when he returned to his office after working from home. He also brought a new coffee pot. His Building just finished gutting the employee lunchroom with very nice appliances etc just before isolation started.Some peers of mine bought at their own expense a mini fridge to safely store their food and drink. They stored it right underneath their cubicles next to the illegal space heaters brought from their home to warm their cold feet and legs in the winter. The five finger bandits would always steal peoples food in the main company fridge. These are adults in professional roles, not children
