Re: Milk

I've tried several different non-cow milks and have settled on two that I (we) like. 8th Continent Vanilla is a good commercially available product that is not bad at all. Might take a few bowls of cereal to get used to it.. but in the end, it's cold, it's wet and it does what it is supposed to.. make the cereal not like eating gravel or dust. Heh..

I also like several of the rice-milk products out there but they're a bit expensive in comparison. We usually buy 3-4 bottles of the 8th continent stuff which are about 1/2 gallon apiece on sale and they run about $3.00 or so I think. So, it's more expensive than cow-milk but only because it isn't quite as mass produced. The upside is, no gas/diahhrea and/or indigestion, though. That's a solid benefit.

Also, if you've got a hankering for some red meat but don't want the heavy after-feel of beef, try your local farmer's market out and see if there are any ostrich vendors for some fresh ostrich filet. Just as tender as beef filet, and very tasty but with about 1/3 of the calories and a tenth of the fat. Again, a little expensive, but not that much more than you'd expect to pay for a good beef steak, either. More than rib-steak and less than filet, probably. Maybe around $10 a pound or so?

Anyway.. that's probably more than you wanted to know. LOL..
