My parents have one dishwasher...no one ever told them it wasn't good enough. My mom has a spare set of racks for Pesach. She washes both, just not together, and it's always cooled off before she puts anything new in. Pareve she always does by hand, unless she's had 25 people over Shabbat afternoon, because otherwise there's just not enough to do at once to make it worthwhile. |

As with many things, people hold differently. We have a stainless steel inside and our Rav said we would need separate racks. I don't bother. Mine is meat since anyway I don't cook cook dairy in the house- just some pizza take out and cold cheese. I might microwave a cheese sandwich for myself by its on disposables. We have two microwaves- one meat and one dairy. Dairy one is a hand me down from someone whose house we would eat in so no worries from me about taking it and the meat one we bought eventually. I honestly rarely use the meat one though. jrk- some Lubavitchers do and some don't. I believe the Rebbe had milk in his coffee I remember being told. I do not eat dairy on pesach cause that was the minchag of the family whose home I became frum in for those over bar/bas mitzvah age. I also don't do cocoa. Dh does do dairy cause the family whose home he became frum DID do dairy. Dh told me when we got married I could do what I wanted as long as I didn't keep it out of the house. Cocoa though we do not have at all even though he also had before we got married. He said he would do one pesach cocoa free and than decide. He didn't miss it so I never bothered after.

I have two microwaves, sorry I forgot to mention that. It's really handy to have two ! I keep our rice steamer pareve, too. |

In lubavitch there is something we *lovingly* call spitz Chabad. Lubavitch is very minhag oriented. Not having dairy other than for small children who need it is one of those kept for generations. I do not have for cooking any dairy dishes but there are those in my house who will put milk in their coffee (my weakness is instant coffee as I would probably be in bad shape after 7 days with no caffeine). I have no other processed foods other than this and potato starch. |

Lilac - I honestly find that I have very few parev things, and those that I do have are easily washed by hand. The dishwasher is really useful, to me, for times when I have tons of dishes to wash and want to load them somewhere, or when I'm dealing with tougher baked-on food, like lasagna or roast chicken. |

One of my friends is considering now going vegetarian for ethical reasons and because of that there's been an intense discussion among my friends on what you should eat or not. Turned out quite a lot of us were having health issues connected to milk. So maybe there's a point to what some animal rights activists claim, that it's a fundamental wrong to consume the milk intended for the babies of another species. Don't know, just a thought... personally I think I'll go soy for a while to see if I feel better. And to make the kosher transfer simpler. :) That's one thing I'll have to work a bit on getting used to, I so often make yoghurt dressings for my salad I don't even notice it until I've eaten it with that piece of meat. :ouch |

Ethics and Torah practice never contradict because Judaism defines ethics. Not only is milk not forbidden but is customary on Shavuos and Chanukah. EY is called a land flowing with milk and honey. It is halacha in the Shulchan Aruch that their is no simcha without wine and meat, in fact chicken is only acceptable halachically if you can't afford meat or have real health issues (not a belief that meat is inherently unhealthy). Jews are said to have more milk allergy issues. I was taught that giving cow's milk early increases this chance. I was taught in my day not to give any dairy in the 1st year (to the chagrin of the local tipat chalav) and b"h we have had almost no issues with chalavi. Only one child did better with goat's milk until 12. |

Unfortunately there are now many issues connected to over consumption of soy. |

Milk is one of the hardest things to digest, But milk in its raw form contains all the enzymes it needs to aid digestion. Pasteurization and homogenization destroy those enzymes, leaving only the hard to digest milk. Drinking raw milk can fix most milk issues. My parents had raw milk only when I was little, but now its not legal to sell it here, so unless you have your own cow, you can't get it. |

I've often heard (but unfortunately do not have sources) that the "milk" in the possuk "a land flowing with milk and honey" is referring to goat milk. |

Goat milk, as far as I know, is lower in lactose than cow's milk. Could be part of the explanation maybe. It's a pity to hear about the soy problems though, I didn't know that. Well well, I say we'll all just have to live on coffee and chocolate then. :mug |
