Our trip to Costco today

Today was an extremely busy day for us, which took us all over town and we stopped at Costco. We bought some items for the freezer to pop-out when there is just no time to cook. Costco has a wide variety of organics and gluten-free items and what we call "Carmen safe" - we bought
Del Real Barbacoa
Curleys BBQ Ribs
Willow Brook Kettle Cooked Turkey
AND
Joseph Farms Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Chobani Greek Yogurt - a lovely yogurt which Carmen can have but get this - - -

The WDS (warehouse demo services) staff was demonstrating cheeses knew about the hormone issue in dairy! She was wonderful to talk to. She knew that imported cheese has no such issues but that American processed cheese has hormones in it...she said she knew of other people who have a problem with this but thought that it was "lactose intolerance". I have never met anyone else with this same issue, though I am trying. I want them to know that they are not alone.

"According to the FDA, no significant difference has been found between milk derieved from rBST treated and non-treated cows" - REALLY? You have got to be joking right? Okay - they are serious, but so am I - the Federal Government can't but Carmen sure can! All she has to do is ingest it and then they will see - yes Virginia, there IS a difference.

Goes to show that you never know who you are going to run into or what you are going to learn in the halls of Costco.
