HOW TO ADD MILK TO YOUR DIET: Drink European style morning coffee. Heat milk gently and then combine in equal amounts with your morning coffee. Europeans use large coffee cups. Fill the cup half full with coffee and then add the warmed milk. Two cups of this and you are well on your way to fulfilling your daily requirement for milk. Incidentally, this is only done in the morning. The cups shrink for lunch and for mid afternoon you are into espresso size where it is a tiny cup with about 1/4 inch of syrupy coffee in which you are meant to add a half cube of brown sugar. Then stir with the little spoon as you sit outside a sidewalk cafe, stirring and sipping.

The melamine in baby formula is confined to the Chinese mainland so there is no cause for concern about your baby if you live in the USA. We feel sad for all the families in China worrying about their babies health and hope the authorities get the proper controls in place. Melamine in pet food imported from China was a problem in the USA a few years ago. we are still hoping to find baby food produced in this country. Failing that, just remember, home made baby food is easily within your grasp if you have a blender or a food processor. The trick is to make enough for only Chicken, for example, cooked and ground with two days and refrigerate immediately after making in just the size portion you need to eliminate heating, repackaging, refrigerating and reheating. You don't want to do that. Start with making 3 portions of cooked chicken and three portions of a cooked vegetable and see how you progress.
