I can't remember the last time I went out Spend all my time with my three boys (as much as I moan about them on here ). When our first was born, I quit drinking whilst she was pregnant. I thought it would be a tough nine months but it really wasn't. I didn't bother when she was pregnant with the other two though. Don't really know why, I guess it just didn't get mentioned How is the little one? Can't believe my youngest is eight months old already!
She's good ta. Drinking, sleeping, getting through nappies. Although it's a bit hard to tell at that age (she can't smile yet), I get the impression she's always pleased to see me when I'm there, so I'm hoping she'll be a daddy's girl.
That's good. My youngest wouldn't settle with me at all. Only started to accept me holding him after about three months the little ****er
I only drink alcohol at home. Too expensive to drink it out. Never heard of UHT milk had to Google it. Sounds disgusting.
Did they not have UHT milk in the UK when you were still here? And don't you get it in the States? I thought they loved processing their food?
To answer my own question using Wikipedia: In June 1993, Parmalat introduced its UHT milk to the United States.[10] However in the American market, consumers have been uneasy about consuming milk that is not delivered under refrigeration, and have been much more reluctant to buy it. To combat this, Parmalat is developing UHT milk in old-fashioned containers. Many milk products in American foods are made using UHT milk, such as McDonalds McFlurries. UHT milk is also used on airplanes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_processing In the UK, UHT milk is 8.4% of total milk consumption, Germany 66.1%. France and Belgium over 95%
In 2008, the UK government proposed a 90% UHT milk production target by 2020[12] which they believed would significantly cut the need for refrigeration, and thus benefit the environment by reducing green house emissions.[13] However the milk industry opposed this, and the proposition was quickly abandoned. Thank goodness. Milk, surely this must be one of your specialist topics?
They might have had it when I was younger but it sounds the type of thing my mum would have avoided. Never seen it in the States. Re the " milk products" it's probably been in things I've consumed but never seen UHT milk for sale as itself. Doesn't surprise me McDonald's uses it in their products. Their products are the lowest of the low. Always use the lowest quality everything. I suspect non refrigerated dairy creamers they have at restaurants must be UHT... but I don't have milk in my tea/coffee.
I never drink alcohol if I'm on my own. Don't know why, I love it in a social environment but it just doesn't interest me when I'm on me tod. This means I do drink more tea and coffee than I should, of course.
I've never been able to drink vast amounts on my own, usually only one or two but at the most and very rarely its about four. Used to regularly drink four cans after work each night but those nights have long gone with the family around. Cost adds up quite quick too nowadays.
I'll drink alone but I rarely drink enough to get drunk anyway. Biggest affect alcohol has on me is makes me sleepy. I normally fall asleep before I get drunk. Don't drink alcohol for the alcohol... I drink it because I happen to like it. Amaretto... Bailey's Irish Cream... Port... Grand Marnier... All good yummy stuff. Don't bother with crap like Tequila or Vodka that tastes awful and people only drink to get drunk.
At a restaurant now. Looked at fine print on creamer at table... says" UHT" Those creamers are always nasty. Can't believe people use that instead of the milk.
what an odd idea, how many things do we use now days where it says once open keep refrigerated and use in blah blah time lol. i have heard that if you put your veg in dirt in a box and cover it (i think newspaper was used as well) keeps them fresher for longer, but would this work for your cream cheese,jams etc lol, what about medicine that needs to be refrigerated?
I think the idea is to reduce the need for refrigeration, not eliminate it entirely. I'm not a big fan of milk in any of its forms, tbh. Obviously I'm referring to the dairy product here, and not our esteemed poster.
