On food

Scott and Drew had Kraft Mac & Cheese for lunch. In the interests of not fiddling with pills, I didn't.

Me, wistfully: "That looks delicious."
Scott: "It is."
Me: "I'm still not having any, though. There's half a stick of butter, and a little milk, in." (I saw him make it.)
Scott: "And the cheese powder."
Me: "I'm not worried about that being dairy."

Which, yes, is an unfair zing and actually if there were no other dairy I would worry about it and check what it actually is, but KM&C is not the most natural thing ever, and in any case the butter out-masses the cheese powder when prepared as directed. :P

No, it's not particularly natural ....
... but it's still my comfort food, even if I have to import it from the US.

*grins* I really have to want it to bother because of the dairy thing, but I do love it when I have it.

For future reference, the cheese powder doesn't have a heck of a lot of cheese-- it's loaded with whey, which is REALLY high in lactose.

Good to know! I always figured the number of pills I needed owed mostly to the very large amount of butter - sounds like that's not all of it.

Ah, well. It's not the best thing for me (or them, but sometimes treats are treats) anyway.

But it tastes soooo good---definite comfort food.

We have made it sometimes without the butter entirely and we always use 1% milk.

That would definitely help the fat content, but it will only go so far with the lactose content, alas. From what [livejournal.com profile] kayre said, even with 1% lactose-free milk it would still be lactose-heavy from the cheese powder. Alas.
