*lol* No problem- I post so rarely that being “on time” would be more a matter of luck than anything else. Also, my email is WordVixen {at} gmail [dot] com.

WDW is so great for so many things, but there are just a few things that…er… irritate me. I do like the occasional carrot and celery sticks, but when that’s your only veggie option? Not so much. I’m not actually Paleo, but I’m a Real Foodie who comes close when I can plan meals for just me (as opposed to conventional hubs), but since I don’t react well to grains and don’t want veg oils, my options at WDW are pretty much the same as Paleo anyway. I usually order the apple slices or grapes instead of fries anyway, and this year I’ll probably go bunless. I’m also planning to bring my sprouter with me and a bag of lentils. They sprout in about 12 hours and taste just like hull peas, so it’s perfect if I can’t find other veggies on site. I know lentils are legumes, but I believe sprouting gets rid of most issues? I’ve been trying to find out more about their gluten free options, but most of what I’ve seen is “the tapioca roll was excellent!” and so on. I’m definitely thinking that those Tanka bars could be a really good option. Even if not for the parks, on a 16 hour drive without dinner breaks, the convenience has to be worth it. We’re actually skipping a year to save up a little, so I’m hoping to have a good battle plan by the time we go. I’ve been making notes.

Mmmm… I wish I could get Jersey cream! I HAVE found a local farm that sells it, but their price is so cheap that I’m afraid to try it. I pay $8 a gallon for my Dutch Belted raw milk, and this other place is charging only $3 a gallon for Jersey raw… it just makes me nervous.

I am way late to this comment party but couldn’t find your email address to send a ping from our conversation over on Melissa’s Blog. I hear ya” on the no veggies at DisneyWorld. It is a tiny bit easier at the IF&WF but still a challenge. I don’t have too much of a problem as I can be a near carnivore at times.
I am also on the Raw Milk wagon, usually Jersey cream now but I have done the Jersey Cow and goat milks. Love that raw milk!

Jenny- Oh you poor thing! Wait… Do you think that’s where the expression “put my foot in it” came from? Hubs has flat out told me no goats, ever. He thinks they’re creepy looking (and while I agree about the adults, baby goats are hands down the cutest animals EVAR).

I haven’t tried making tortillas yet, but it’s on my to-do list. I wouldn’t mind so much, but the whole rolling out thing promises to be back torture (counters are a bad height for me).

Cat- You said it! He’s a lovely man most of the time- just not in the kitchen!

Oh no, I would almost cry if some of my delicious raw milk spilled, apart from the fact of having to clean out the darn fridge too. Funny about your man being whiny in the kitchen, they can be such children about their food! .-= CatJB´s last blog ..Healthy chocolate crackles- with coconut oil =-.

I decided the expression came about from people losing their buckets of fresh milk from the barn. It seems much more personal to lose the milk that you have actually taken from the animal. I’ve been known to use slightly salty language in the barn after getting a goat foot in a nearly full bucket of milk. At least the chickens can still get it so it isn’t a complete loss!

Have you tried making your own tortillas, by the way? They are pretty easy and very yummy. I found a recipe recently for soaking the flour overnight, and it is my new tortilla recipe because it’s so tasty.

CJ- *lol* We already have 3 bathrooms and it STILL doesn’t feel like enough (mostly because hubs has to go between two different bathrooms to do all his stuff).

Jersey- 2 refrigerators would help immensely, but my husband has decided that he can’t cook on the right side of the stove if I’m cooking on the left side, so, basically, we can’t cook at the same time. At the very least I want a huge kitchen with an island with one of those mini-fridges and a mini-stove top for him.

*lol* I’m amazed every day when I don’t have more broken glass!

I think I'd settle for 2 refrigerators, honestly. And a much bigger kitchen. I'm impressed that you can use glass and not have that happen every day! .-= Jerseygirl89´s last blog ..The Godless Heathen Heads to Bible School =-.

LOL!!! I’ve heard of couples requiring two bathrooms, but two kitchens is a great idea too!!

It’s funny- from day one I’ve been paranoid about dropping one of the glass jugs, or breaking them in transport. While simply stored in the back of the fridge? Hadn’t even crossed my mind…

Thank you so much for the compliment, and I loved your blog too!

This would happen all the time at my house if I used the glass jugs. Seriously. I laughed out loud reading this and am so glad you commented on my post today so I could find this little gem. (Thanks for stopping by!) .-= Maggie´s last blog ..Buying Local And Balancing Needs =-.
