It's quite the relief that I don't have "official" allergies and just sensitivities, so I can get away with small amounts of this stuff. Trying to avoid it completely is virtually impossible.<BR/>Nice reaction in England; I should tell you sometime about what happened when I tried to make sure I was not accidentally consuming milk or wheat at restaurants in Egypt while on my honeymoon. The looks from the various waiters were extremely amusing, to say the least...nohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535486649565810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-39189054052755377502008-05-17T15:56:00.000-04:002008-05-17T15:56:00.000-04:00It's funny because that's how I got addicted to 's...It's funny because that's how I got addicted to 'snobby' coffee too... I was breastfeeding daughter #1 and found out she is allergic to milk. Hence I had to become dairy-free as well. So I ended up meeting friends for coffee at Starbucks because at that time they were the only ones around who made such tailored drink orders, including soy ones (they will even clean their equipment first so no dairy traces!). I am since off the dairy-free stuff... but my chai latte addiction remains...<BR/><BR/>Interestingly if you enter a Starbucks in the U.K. and order a non-fat, no water, no foam chai latte you get THE dirtiest look imaginable. It's not what you do there...<BR/><BR/>PS. I'll be home in August inshallah. don't worry about the book...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077505249992827111noreply@blogger.com
