Held Breath

Once in a while, The Mouse will buy a container of non-dairy yogurt, made with soy milk I think.

This time, didn’t read the ingredients until The Mouse was ready to eat. Oh oh, ,made with milk with the lactose removed. With a bit of trepidation and lactase pills, The Mouse dug in.

Lactose-Free Yogurt

The yogurt was plain, The Mouse added honey. TheMouse’s stomach did not erupt. no gas, no TMI moments. Success! Yay!

Stay safe and well.

Random

The Cat is still on the tomato soup mend.

 

Tomato Soup and Yogurt

This time, for variety, The Mouse added a scoop of plain yogurt. The Mouse was looking for some kinda dairy, cream, sour cream was in too much quantity. Half a single serve container of yogurt was the ticket.

The Mouse finally caved.

Li Hing Powder

On sale, a little bit. There’s gonna be some happy canned pineapple and maybe an apple or two in The Mouse’s near future. And a happy mouse too. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.
