Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've already hit my Congresspersons up today. Blowin' in the wind.
Maybe if I start sending checks made out to Congressperson X for $500, with a huge VOID scrawled across it...
ION, anyone have a good smoothie recipe for a kid who like berries and might be mildly lactose-intolerant? (I say "might be" cause Mom said he is, but he's had cheese, alfredo sauce and ice cream here, in limited amounts, with no problems.)

This made me laugh in delight.

I've never really used a recipe for smoothies. I just use frozen fruit -- they make bags with a mixture of strawberries, bananas, and mangoes that I really like -- and some sort of non-dairy milk, usually almond. About a cup of fruit and a cup of milk, put in blender, and then add more milk if it's too thick.
A lot of people who are lactose intolerant are OK with cheese but not with plain milk.
Also, frozen yogurt is lower in lactose than ice cream, is my possibly-mistaken understanding.
If he can tolerate cheese, he might be able to tolerate yogurt, although Hil's suggestion of almond milk should work.
If you're using frozen fruit for smoothies, avoid raspberries and blackberries unless you've got a VitaMix or some other really good blender. Otherwise, you end up with a mouthful of seeds.
Did you look at the rare book store? When I was there in April, I was drooling over the window display of the first edition of Helen Keller's My Life autographed by her. I wanted that soooo much, but didn't have a spare $12,000 on me at the time.
Walked by it, but I prefer the Powell's Rare Book Room.
Jessica, was your sister working last Wednesday night? If so, we may have seen her singing. Dark haired female gondolier--very nice. That was after we had our picture taken standing knee deep in one of the fountains outside the casino.
Celina Cass is missing. Is she the only missing child in the US right now? Why is she getting so much press?
Timelies all!
Went out last night for our anniversary dinner.(Our anniversary is actually today, but we have dance practice, so no time for a nice dinner out) Went to a place called Seasons 52, which does dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Also cute little desserts in shot glasses. Yum.
