when I did drink milk......I had 2% over ice. and yeah, most people

thought it was sick!!

Pacific Almond milk is kinda thin. Try that. It has a bit of a texture

though.

Me too. Soy milk also is easier on the sinuses, although to be truthful

we rarely use either milk or soymilk - I guess we just got outta the

habit ;=)

 

But I wanted to ask about your kitten - our cat loves tofu, but I

haven't tried him on soymilk - I wonder . . . He eats a carnivore's diet

(kibble only - he *hates* wet/canned catfood, regardless of brand). Have

you been able to put your kitten/cat on a veggie diet?

so, what do you suggest for cooking? certainly not coffee, tea, or

Of course, all of those *can* be used in cooking, but not in recipies

Milk can cause stuffy sinuses? I bet that's why I've always been so stuffy. I

always thought it was allergies to pollen and dust.

I don't know about anyone else, but I drink milk because I love the

taste. *shrug* I'd rather have an ice cold glass of milk than just

about any other beverage I can think of. I don't drink coffee (hate the

taste) and rarely drink tea (even the " soothing " ones jazz me right up),

but steamed milk is my beverage of choice when I want something hot and

soothing. Again, this is simply because I love how it tastes,

especially with just a dash of almond syrup in it. I drink a lot of

water as well, and a couple of glasses of juice every day. I drink soft

drinks, but don't really drink alcoholic beverages, other than maybe 2

or 3 glasses of wine /year with dinner. When I run out of milk (often)

I really miss it.

 

As for why I've tried replacing it, it's simply because I've read

reports that indicate that it may not be the best thing out there for me

to drink. So, I don't want to miss the taste, but if I can have what I

crave while minimizing the health risks, then I'm all for trying.

 

> To answer your query about soy milk being too rich, however *LOL* Can

I've never noticed it (and if I did I probably thought it meant calorie

reduced or something like that, not thinner), but I'm sure if it's out

there I can get it. That's one significant benefit of living in the NYC

metro area. :-) I'll check the aisles next time I'm shopping.

 

Thanks for the suggestions

Why milk? Same reason why soymilk, by cereal or glass, both are delicious.

Even my picky, picky children will happily consume a glass of frosty soymilk,

Well, yes, of course soymilk in cooking ;=) - that's what I wrote:

 

> Used it in cooking? Yes, occasionally. But not as a beverage.

 

Sorry, I thought that was clear :=( Perhaps there is confusion here over

'drinking' milk - as a beverage, as a drink out of a mug or a glass - as

opposed to using it or its substitute soymilk in cooking? I meant what I

said, I was not really *not* trying to be difficult - nor was I asking

to be made ridiculous.

 

My point, if it has not been lost by now, is that soooo many people were

brought up to drink milk - real milk from cows or goats - way past the

time when they needed it for health. So you see grown-up people ordering

a sandwich, say, and a glass of milk in a cafe. (Fair enough if they

like it. It's probably better than most softdrinks.) The dairy lobby has

also encouraged us to put a lot of dairy in our day to day cooking - and

so in making a vegan recipe we substitute soy. If, however, you look

away from the North American diet to, say, the Asian diet - and there

are others, of course - you won't find a preponderance of milk dishes.

In some there is yoghurt, of course (many Indian meals contain yoghurt),

but there is generally less reliance on milk in other parts of the world.

 

As a corollary to this, I find myself that it is more enjoyable to look

for recipes *without* meat or meat substitutes and *without* dairy

substitutes than to adapt a recipe. I am a successful adapter, but it is

unnecessary. That way I never have to make the comparison between a

vegetarian or vegan meal and 'the real thing' - and my guests get to

enjoy the meals cooked in this household for what they are rather for

what they are not.

 

Btw, beer is *great* in chilli - but never milk, of course *LOL*

 

Best,

Pat

Yup, this is me, too [except, trying to minimize animal harm as

and since you already like almond syrup in your milk, it may seem

familiar to you [?].

I always liked the taste of milk too. The reason I switched to skin milk is

because of all the calories in 2 %. I like the taste in the skim better though.

But I'm not going to drink it anymore. I just found a brand of soy milk called

Sun Soy. I like it. I think I'm going to try the chocolate today. It's got the

D2 vitamin in it to. I just checked.

I suffer from horrible allergies. Did a year of allergy shots to help. Four

shots a week and I am terrified of needles. It did help, somewhat. When they

did the test to find out what I am allergic to, it came up everything that

grows, pollinates, hangs out in moist environments, has furr, you know, life.

ACK! My doctor said get rid of cats, dogs, carpets, excess surfaces, anything

that attracts dust. (There's my big chance to get rid of the kids-but I let it

get away).

 

I have noticed that when I take away the dairy, the allergies lighten up. But

cheese is one of the few protein sources I can sneak in my children, I have to

drive an hour to find decent, affordable soymilk and I LIKE ICE CREAM!!!! Whine

whine whine

 

So I sniffle. <Sniff>

No- but I notice I did type westle... Some days I really need a warning

sticker. You know " Warning! Not operating at full capacity. Please treat

kindly and stuff with chocolate... "

 

The cat is really a mostly siamese beasty with delusions of grandeur. But quite

meaty-at least WE like to think so. Others look at him and make comments such

as " My, your pets don't starve, do they? " and then my 10 year old, round-ish

cattle dog waddles past. I know, I know, don't lecture. The way I look at it,

they were pound beasties. If it weren't for me, they'd ALL've been dead years

ago. So, poor quality pet food and overweight issues and all, they've had it

pretty darn good. Actually, only the dog is really overweight, and that is

because her arthritis makes it hard to exercise her properly. That's my story

and I'm sticking to it.

 

BTW- the cat loves bread. Go figure.

 

One another tangent- why, oh why don't my cute little emoticons show up in the

email I get back after my message goes out into the group? Do others see them?

I see them on my other groups? Is there an emoticon miser out there, stealing

my little smiley faces? If so, I want them back!

Right now I have a mental image of two very-confused kittens staring

at a plate of creamed spinach

 

Actually, they get mostly kibble and water. Boris has a weight

problem, but I let Josie try a taste of things now and then. I wonder

if she'd like tofu.

My very carnivorish 20lb mini-panther WILL westle me to the ground for a leaf of

fresh spinach. I am afraid to give him to much due to the oxylic (sp) acids in

it, but figure a leaf or two won't hurt.

*LOL* Right! Well, again, it's a matter of my being a poor communicator

- when I say 'drink' I mean, as I said, from a glass or a mug - pouring

it onto cereal or porridge would mean I would be *eating* it, as if it

were runny custard or something on pudding, you know? It kinda counts as

cooking without the heat! ;=)

 

Best,

Pat
