We were just stopping to pick up some milk

For our health I am endeavoring to make homemade yogurt more often, and serve it, that is the key.
There is a regional dairy store called Braums that has the best milk, always has had. They have now purchased all cattle who produce milk with A2 protein. I am not sure exactly what that means, other than it is supposed to be easier to digest. No, it is not genetically modified, nor are the cows. Their little charts remind me of "blood type" charts. People say the milk has longer shelf life as well.
We go to church just outside of Newton, Kansas and sometimes if we need something we go to the Dillons store we like there. Today we were going to Braums as milk is on a special and the only other thing I truly needed was bananas and I knew I could get them there.
Signage, and promotions are everything. In addition to being a dairy store with a collection of groceries, Braums is also a "fast food" burger chain. We could not resist getting a couple of their specialty burgers. We got them as combos.
It has been a really long time since we have eaten at Braums. In their combos you can get Greek yogurt instead of fries and a malt or shake in the place of a soft drink. So I did. I had a four cheese double stack cheese burger, peach yogurt and strawberry shake. Bob had a barbeque bacon double cheese burger, fries and a strawberry shake. Not super well balanced, but super delicious.
I think Bob could live on burgers,sausage, and pizza.
I did get two gallons of milk and some bananas as well.
Often I set up individual servings of oatmeal in covered glass bowls to be heated as needed for fast breakfasts. They are cooked in the microwave. So I need milk for those as well as for the yogurt.
I tell myself I will ONLY get something, but it is always more.

You KNOW, you cannot live in Oklahoma and not love Braums. If it has dairy, it should be bought at Braum’s. I remember our school class went to one of their Braum’s family farm tours. They even let you test their newest ice cream creations. We loved going there. You spoke to my heart, Heather!

Your burgers and shakes sound good. I wondered what that A2 milk was all about.

Many men would not live as long as they do if it weren't for women feeding them good food. This milk sounds interesting. I enjoy good milk. It has sure changed over the years since I was a young girl. So commercialized.

It would be tempting to get lunch while there.

I always go to the store and even with a list I sometimes buy more than I want.

It's like trying to come out of Walmart with one item. I'm glad you had a good meal. Have a great day.
