Dairy chicken eggs
Today Kurt and I were talking about the reaction I had to the flu shot when Kurt announced that I must be allergic to eggs because the viruses used in the influenza vaccine are grown in hens’ eggs (as opposed to a cock’s eggs). I reminded him the only thing other than greasy foods I’ve EVER had a problem with is dairy to which he replied, “Well eggs are kind of dairy.” I’m not kidding, he really said that. I was so shocked I didn’t even have a come back other than, “What the fuck, since when have eggs been any kind of dairy?” I suppose that’s why he’s an engineer and not a farmer, but that ranks right up there with my supervisor that wasn’t sure if New Jersey was a state and my friend/coworker that didn’t know what time zone we live in. We’re right next to the PACIFIC ocean! There must be mercury in the water or something.

The flu vaccine does have pieces of egg in it. If one is vegatarian eggs are dairy too. So I have heard.
How my favorite new mommy? Any smiles and coos yet?

Oh no you didn’t! I was just about to make fun of Kurt for saying eggs are dairy and then you bring out the time zone thing. Well, I’m going to laugh anyway….
Eggs are dairy….hahahahahaha

Janice - I know the vaccine is incubated in eggs. I know most vegetarians eat eggs but it still doesn’t make it dairy!
I’m your favorite, aawww 
I have a post that I’m publishing tomorrow about Sophia’s milestones, so stay tuned!
Angel - You know I’ll NEVER let you live it down!
And you may tell our favorite red-headed step child I was making fun of him on my blog too.
