Ärende: Lactaid???
==================
Hi Dave,

 RH> Steve's Italian ancestry shows up in a lactose intolerance; that's the
 RH> reason we started buying Lact-aid years ago. Deoborah inherited it,
 RH> aggrivated by a severe case of gastritis as a teen. That's when we
 RH> started getting the Ultra version. We'd tried Bean-o but never stuck
 RH> with it. After a few times of eating beans and having problems, I tried
 RH> the Lact-aid with them once and found it helped considerably. YMMV.

 DD> That's odd - given all the cheese, etc in Italian recipes - that
 DD> Italians would be prone to lactose intolerance. Especially northern
 DD> Italians up near
 DD> Switzerland.

Aged hard cheese is much less of a problem than fresh, soft cheese.


 DD> Any effects I have ever had are usually over in a couple hours.

 RH> Takes a bit longer than that for me. BTW, we were in Lowe's the other
 RH> day picking up some groceries and went by the fresh seafood/fish
 RH> counter on our way to other meats. They had frog legs at $6.
 RH> something/pound; we left them in the display.

 DD> Would depend on the size of the leg whether that was a good price or
 DD> not. But U$6/lb is a bit stiff. Still, one of my local SuperStore

I just glanced over quickly but they looked to be a decent size.

 DD> (Meijer ... like Wally World but without the attitude) is advertising
 DD> ocean perch for U$4.99/lb and Coho Salmon filets at U$8.99 ... not to
 DD> mention farmed shrimp, peeled and deveined, 26-30 ct, for U$7.99. I

Don't know if I'd want the first 2 but would rather have wild caught
Atlantic (GA, SC, NC) brown shirmp than farm raised.

 DD> can, if I am ambitious, go harvest my own frog's legs. Coho, ocean
 DD> perch and shrimp I am not in a position to get for myself. And the
 DD> price of seafood, like that of nearly all other foodstuffs is on the
 DD> rise.

And there's no inflation according to the feds! Actually, a lot of it is
keeping the price the same but lowering the amount of food in the
packaging. The packaging looks close enough to the former size that you
need to read it carefully to find out that the quantity has been
reduced.

 DD>       Title: Brussels Sprouts Pasta
 DD>  Categories: Vegetables, Pasta, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 DD>       3 c  Brussels Sprouts
 DD>       1 c  Chopped leeks
 DD>     1/2 c  Chopped sweet red peppers
 DD>       2 tb Butter

 DD>       1 tb Soy sauce
 DD>     1/2 c  Parsley
 DD>       1 c  Grated cheddar cheese

 RH> I'd guess pasta type is the cooks choice here. (G)

 DD> I didn't notice that when I snagged that recipe. I'd probably use
 DD> bow-ties, shells, or if using long noodles, linguine.

Good choices, as is orichetta.

 DD> Try this one ... similar, from a different source:

A bit of pancetta would go well in this too.
