(It was o.k. when mixed in the recipe, but to taste it straight out of the bottle first, was gross!!)
Yeah, I eat whole grains if I'm eating bread, or like brown rice if we are doing a rice dish. But I just don't like buttermilk. And I don't like the taste of ranch with it...it makes it taste sour. So that's why I use the 2%.
People over here drink it straight from the carton...I can't stand it. And I don't mind it in baked goods or things like that, but it makes ranch dressing a bit sour. Most people in the states make ranch dressing with miracle whip and buttermilk, and some put dill in it. I am not a sour girl, so I omit the dill and I use mayo instead of miracle whip and milk instead of buttermilk. It's a personal taste, I know.Recently, hubs was trying a new recipe for fried chicken. Buttermilk was one of the ingredients. Neither one of us ever had buttermilk before, so we both tried a taste of it. Yuck!!!
For the amount you use you should just add a bit of vinegar to regular milk instead of springing for buttermilkRecently, hubs was trying a new recipe for fried chicken. Buttermilk was one of the ingredients. Neither one of us ever had buttermilk before, so we both tried a taste of it. Yuck!!!
seriously you can ditch the 2% and use regular milk. 2% is wayyyyy higher in sugar
I just went and checked my fridge. We have half, not 2%. And the amount of sugar in it is the same as what's in buttermilk, which I also have because I made pancakes for DS the other day. But I think our rules over here are way more strict than in the US. A lot of foods from the US can't be sold here because they don't comply with regulations and contain too many transfats, sugars, etc. And the kind of sugar that's in milk is a natural sugar and not like processed sugar. It's like the difference between eating an apple or eating candy. So I think I'm ok using what I always use. I buy the kind DS likes. DD won't drink plain milk anyway, and it's about the only food/drink with any nutrients that I can get down DS's throat, so I'm not going to be picky about it.
I'm just happy I can get him to drink something that's relatively good for him...better than fruit juices or soda anyway.
I was referring to lactose which at best digests like regular sugar but in some people it's way worse. Milk has lots of natural sugar, who knewI just went and checked my fridge. We have half, not 2%.

Got in a decent workout this morning...even got to sleep in until 7 since I had the day off and it was late arrival day for the older one. And the scale was VERY kind. Not sure if it's the end of plateau, but it was good. Of course, I have family that flew into town today and worked on a cake, so between all of the sugar in taste testing and the eating outside of my norms...well, I wasn't good with what I ate today.
I do at least have a cake to show for it...
It was rushed, but I'm fairly happy with it...well, minus the cucumber that looks like creamed peasAt least we can all eat it.
I am nervous about this, but I'm guessing a lot of others are, too. 
He was even discussing how to make this work if I am hired and I get placed in another city other than PHL. This is such a sea change for him!
Hello,
I got back home around dinner time last night. The final two days were so cold. I was wearing my winter coat.
I did a lower body work out this morning. I did pretty much keep up with my workouts while I was away.
So, last night I had dinner and formulated potential responses for my video interview tomorrow. I had been researching while at WDW here and there. There is no human on the other end. There is a computer voice that gives you the question with a minute to think about it. Then you get three minutes to respond. So I am going to be talking to my laptop, basically.
My husband has been really supportive. While I was gone, he went to Macy's and bought me a new black blazer to wear tomorrow. He even offered to "help" me tomorrow. I declined, since I feel like I have this under control and I can't take him with me to Dallas for the face to face interview. I want to do this all under my own steam.
I am going to fine tune my potential responses and practice talking to my laptop today. Tomorrow is basically about seeing how you present yourself and how you speak. It sounds like the questions are pretty tame, but I am taking nothing for granted. LOL
If I feel like my interview went well and I have a shot at a face to face, I am going to join Toastmasters. I feel like I need help with public speaking. The next round is all group interviews with group activities where they watch you interact with others. That is what fills me with dread...
Well yeah, for someone who is lactose intolerant, etc, sure. But if you aren't sensitive to it, it's fine, and we're ok with it. We get no weird side effects from dairy, so we're good using just the plain milk.
I'm so glad your husband is being supportive! That's nice that he realizes this is important to you. I have a friend who does toastmasters and she loves it. What kinds of group activities do they do? That sounds fun to me, but maybe I'm picturing the wrong kinds of activities.Hello,

But, because there's no one asking you the questions in person, you might actually relax a bit more, as you're reacting to a computer only. 
Today I am bundling up and walking outside this afternoon. I need fresh air and sunshine!! Only 29 more days until our Disney trip! We both are needing a vacation really bad!!
