One Plus One Equals Two
1. Every time I see my gynecologist, she asks me if I’m making sure that I get my three servings of dairy every day.
2. Everyone knows that supporting locally-owned businesses is an easy way to help ensure the long-term economic health of one’s community.
That’s why it’s okay that I stopped at the Corn Hill Creamery on the way home from my 1-9 shift, picked up three containers of ice cream, and then met Tammy at my house, where we sampled the flavors and discussed them at length. If you live in the Rochester area and don’t know about the Corn Hill Creamery, I must enlighten you. It’s a place in Corn Hill Landing (where, I should note, there is also a swell Thai restaurant) that serves homemade ice cream. As if that weren’t enough, they also make their own waffle cones, which are light but sturdy and oh-so-tasty. Instead of using a marshmallow, they use a Hershey’s Kiss to stop the drips from coming out the bottom of the cone. Is that not brilliant? Of course it is! They also have really fun flavors. Tonight I got Cherry Cherry (self-explanatory, but I freaking love cherry ice cream), Chocolate Orange Chip (also fairly self-explanatory, this tastes kind of like one of those chocolate oranges you can buy and whack on a table so that it falls apart in tasty little wedges), and Chocolate Crunch (not quite like it sounds, this is chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream with swirls of the chocolate crunchies they use in ice cream cake—essentially, it’s ice cream cake you scoop instead of slice, which may just make it my new favorite ice cream).
You know, maybe it’s time for seconds.

I wish I could still eat dairy. Sigh.

I was under the impression that dairy helps propagate gynecological issues. Is this not true? Because it it's the calcium thing she's concerned about, a handy-dandy tablet does the trick.
Milk smells like sweat and tastes bitter to me, so I avoid it when possible.

Lori, I understand your pain, since I can eat very little of it now. Only yogurt, really. The best non-dairy ice cream I've had is called Temptations. They even have a chocolate chip cookie dough flavor that is to die for! It's available in the natural foods department at Wegman's. Try it and you won't be sorry! Their website is http://www.welovesoy.com.

Every time I go to see *my* gynecologist, she says, "Why do you keep coming here? Will you please stop making these appointments?"

Jason, she must know that you're getting enough dairy.
I am sooooo sorry for the lactose intolerant people. I am really scared that someday *I* might wake up lactose intolerant, because that's how it happens to some people. Scary.

Uh, off to go get a towel to clean up my drool from reading that.
Yes, that Hershey's Kiss idea is frackin' BRILLIANT.
