OK. So now “Milk and Cream” go on the allergy list. Even milk in coffee is out. Damn. Thank god for soy milk or Alpen cereal with berries would be off the menu too.
What sins are left to enjoy? No alcohol, chocolate, and Milk or Milk products – including cheesecake, means desserts are almost always out. No preservatives – including fruit that’s been exposed to sulfur gas. Nothing that comes from a grape, including vinegar. Lemon juice from a bottle is out. Basalmic vinegar.
Basically If I can’t raise it in the back yard, fish it out of a river, or grow it in a garden, I can’t eat it. Probiotics are a gift from heaven. Why did I have to be 50 to figure all this out? Why isn’t it more public knowledge that white people simply should not eat dairy products?
Sigh.

Sam Hughes posted a bit of humor on G+: Seattle’s Summer is a failed installation. The whole country is frying, and it’s the middle of July, and it’s in the low 60’s right now.

The people I would love to talk to four an hour over dinner? It’s a very small number: The Queen. Maggie Thatcher. Henry Kissinger. Don Rumsfeld. Larry Summers. I’m lucky enough that I already know Hans Hoppe. I missed out on Hayek, Lachmann and Huntington. If I had to pick one, it’d be a tossup between the Queen and Kissinger. … How about you?

OK. A glorified Quality Inn with a golf course is not a ‘resort’. Well. Except maybe here… Resorts have staff. They cater to you. They are cheerful. I mean, I had to wheel my own bags? (But, I just heard that there are 40(!) Prix St. Greorges competitors this weekend. So it should be a good show.)

http://www.capitalismv3.com/?page_id=1145Took the BBC survey. I’ve read 44 of 100 BBC Novels. Unfortunately there are Lots of complaints about that list since it was published. Politically weighted. Female weighted. (Where is Heinlein? or Cormack McCarthy? Advice and Consent? Bonfire of the Vanities? Atlas Shrugged? How much Jane Eyre should any list contain?). But it’s a list.
I’ll pimp my own book list:
