Trying new liquids is FUN :-\

*pokes uncertainly at goats' milk in front of her* Yeah, I don't know either.


You guys get this whole speech something like once a month, whenever someone pisses me off by asking "Oh, so you're lactose intolerant?" one too many times. So.

I am allergic to milk.

No, not lactose intolerant. That's when your body goes "Yeah, I'm old now, I don't think I'm gonna do that whole 'making lactase' thing anymore. Where's my gold watch?", which means you can't metabolize the lactose in milk.

A milk allergy, in my particular case, is when my body stays on the look-out for a group of six-chained casein submicelles and, when it catches sight of one, says "Hello, my name is Erin's Body, you killed my father. Prepare to die." And then they battle it out in my intestinal track and two hours later I shit out a burning stream of their dead bodies.

Or something like that.


POINT BEING. When doing some research for something completely different, I ran across some literature saying that goats' milk is much lower in casein than cows' milk, and as such, may be an awesome alternative for people with milk allergies. Like me.

Why I didn't learn this until now, I'll never know. The internet just hates me or something.


So I figure I should try it. Or something. *prods it uncertainly* It's been almost ten years since I tasted plain ol' milk. Sure, I still eat cheeses and occasionally have stuff with cream in it, and butter. And stuff.

But no straight milk for me. Here goes.

*sniffs it* *sniffs it some more* *sniff sniff*

I swear, I'm actually going to try it. Really.

*sniff*

I think it tastes like... milk? Huh. That was rather anticlimactic. Huh.

Next I tell you how my mommy taught me to shoot marbles whilst butchering goats.

When I was a kid (har har) I always had trouble milking the goat because you had to put the bucket at the back where they could pee in it. I've never been able to face goats milk since.
